Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two fluids efficiently. It consists of a series of tubes inside a large cylindrical shell. One fluid flows through the tubes, while the other flows around the tubes within the shell. As heat moves from the hot fluid to the colder one, it can be used to heat or cool substances in industrial, HVAC, or other applications. This design allows for effective heat transfer, easy maintenance, and the ability to handle high pressures and temperatures.
