Stainless Steel Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

• Partition-wall heat exchange with countercurrent flow on the tube and shell sides
• Available in 304 and 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Heat transfer coefficient stated to be 30% to 50% higher than that of conventional equipment
• Compact design, low maintenance requirements, and a stated service life of over 10 years
• Used for reactor temperature control, distillation condensation, solvent recovery, milk sterilization, and juice cooling

A Stainless Steel Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger transfers heat between hot and cold fluids without allowing them to mix. The fluids flow on opposite sides of the tube walls, with countercurrent flow used where the design requires it.

The tube arrangement and flow channels can be designed to improve turbulence and heat transfer. The stated heat transfer coefficient is 30% to 50% higher than that of conventional equipment, although actual performance depends on the fluid properties, flow rates, temperature difference, and exchanger design. Appropriate flow velocity and tube-side design can also help reduce deposit buildup and simplify cleaning.

The shell-and-tube structure can be integrated into industrial process systems and equipment skids. In chemical and pharmaceutical plants, typical duties include reactor temperature control, distillation column condensation, and solvent recovery involving corrosive fluids. Food and beverage applications include milk sterilization and juice cooling. Energy and metallurgy facilities use this type of exchanger for steam condensation, material heating, and waste heat recovery.

The company has experience supplying heat exchange equipment for chemical and pharmaceutical factories. Each Stainless Steel Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is configured according to the process requirements.

Before production, the hot and cold fluid temperatures, flow rates, material grades, tube bundle specifications, connection positions, and installation method are confirmed. Stainless steel tubes and plates are inspected before cutting and welding. The components are then assembled, followed by pressure testing and other required inspections.

Please provide the hot and cold fluid temperatures, flow rates, preferred material grade, and installation method so the appropriate heat exchanger configuration can be confirmed. Drawings or prototypes are welcome for customized production.
