Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
The most widely used industrial heat exchanger — efficient inter-fluid heat transfer through a solid wall, across chemical plants, refineries, power plants, and HVAC systems.
A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils.

Typical Applications
Other Equipment in This Category
Spiral Heat Exchanger
Compact, highly efficient heat exchanger ideal for viscous fluids, slurries, and fouling services with self-cleaning channels.
Reboilers
Critical heat transfer equipment that supplies controlled vaporization heat to the bottom of distillation columns — generating vapor for effective mass transfer in continuous duty.
Air-Cooled Condenser (ACC)
Condenses vapors or cools process fluids using ambient air — eliminating cooling water requirements with finned tube bundles and axial fans. Ideal for water-scarce locations.
