How It Works
The Tube Bundle consists of multiple tubes housed within the shell of a heat exchanger, allowing two separate fluids to exchange heat efficiently. The design and configuration of the tube bundle depend on process conditions such as fluid type, temperature, and pressure requirements.
Key Components & Functions
- Heat Transfer Tubes – The primary medium for heat exchange, allowing hot and cold fluids to flow separately.
- Tube Sheets – Provide structural support and secure the tubes in place, preventing leaks between fluid paths.
- Baffles – Direct the shell-side fluid flow to increase turbulence and improve heat transfer efficiency.
- Tie Rods & Spacers – Maintain proper spacing and alignment of tubes, ensuring mechanical stability.
- Impingement Plates – Protect tubes from fluid erosion at high velocities, extending service life.
During operation, the hot fluid flows inside the tubes, while the cooling fluid moves through the shell side. The baffles force the cooling fluid into a controlled flow pattern, improving thermal contact with the tubes and maximizing efficiency. Proper material selection ensures resistance to corrosion, scaling, and mechanical wear, reducing maintenance needs and extending operational life
