Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger – Industrial Heat Transfer Solutions A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher- pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell ( a large pressure vessel ) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes ( through the shell ) to transfer heat between the two fluids. The set of tubes is called a tube bundle, and may be composed of several types of tubes : plain, longitudinally finned, etc. ✕ ❮ ❯
