UNDERSTANDING TEMA TYPES for Shell-and-Tube Exchangers

摘要

Among the most common types of heat transfer equipment used in industrial applications are the various configurations of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Suitable for a range of pressure and temperature conditions, shell-and-tube heat exchangers can be robust enough to handle corrosive or even lethal fluids. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger design allows heat transfer between two independent, pressurized chambers through the wall of the tubes. The design consists of an array of tubes, which is connected on each side to a flat plate called a tubesheet.
