Heat or Cool Fluids with the Tried and Tested Shell and Tube

The shell and tube heat exchanger heats or cools a fluid, typically with the use of another fluid. One fluid runs through the tubes, while the other fluid passes through the shell to transfer heat energy.

A shell and tube heat exchanger consists of bundle of tubes fitted within a cylindrical shell. The tubes may be permanently positioned in the shell (fixed tube sheet) or may be removeable for ease of inspection, cleaning, or replacement (floating / u-tube bundle). SA Heat Exchange has vast experience with both fixed and floating designs and offers an extensive variety of head and shell designs.
