A heat exchanger is a device used to exchange heat between two liquids, and a tube heat exchanger is one of its categories. It finds applications in industries which have high pressure requirements such as chemical companies, oil refineries, and more. A shell and tube heat exchanger is primarily a large vessel comprising a bunch of tubes or a tube bundle. There are two fluids, one which channels through the tube and the other through the shell over the tubes for heat exchange. The heat is transferred from tube to shell. BEPeterson has the experience and expertise of manufacturing these shell and tube heat exchangers for high pressure applications. This post discusses why BEPeterson is a good choice in case you need these heat exchangers.
More About Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers help in conserving energy by reducing fuel consumption and optimal use of materials. They help regulate temperatures of all types of fluids including high density, viscous fluids and semisolids such as oil, pulp, asphalt, and so on. They can handle harsh, abrasive chemicals, and hot oils as well and the materials for the exchanger need to be chosen accordingly. These heat exchangers are mounted on the outer side of fluid storage tanks. The tube materials are conductive which facilitates heat transfer between two fluids. The working of these exchangers is based on the suction principle. They help save energy as you need to pump into the exchanger only the required quantity of fluid is heated at a given temperature. This helps maintain the required temperature of the fluids when the product is in transit for shipment or needs to be loaded or unloaded. This saves the energy that would be required to heat an entire storage tank.
