Used Forain FRN-2019-084 Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Listing description

Used in Oil and gas exploration and Petroleum Refinery. The liquid flows through the bundle of tubes in a chamber where the exchange of heat occurs. It is mostly suited for high pressure applications. Two fluids flow through the chamber with different temperatures one through the tubes and other flows inside the chamber.
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids.

There are different categories of tubular heat exchangers; one of the most common is the shell and tube exchanger.
A shell and tube exchanger consists of a number of tubes mounted inside a cylindrical shell.

Two fluids can exchange heat: one fluid flows over the outside of the tubes while the second fluid flows through the tubes. The fluids can be single or two phases and can flow in a parallel or a cross/counter flow arrangement.

The shell and tube exchanger consists of four major parts:

Front end (header distributor), where the fluid enters the tube side of the exchanger
Rear end, where the tube side fluid leaves the exchanger or where it is returned to the front header in exchangers with multiple tube side passes
Tube bundle composed of tubes, tube sheets, baffles and tie rods to hold the bundle together
Shell where the fluid enters the shell side of the exchanger; this contains the tube bundle.
