Maximizing Heat Exchanger Efficiency with Impingement Devices
High fluid flows can cause corrosion and vibration, which can be detrimental to the machine. Too much vibration can cause tubes to pull out and cause cross-contamination or shell or tube damage.
Choosing Between a Straight Tube and U-Tube Heat Exchanger Design
One decision every manufacturer will have to make is whether it will be a straight tube or a U-tube exchanger.
How Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers Benefit the Agriculture Industry
Agriculture is an ever-important industry in the U.S.
The Impact of Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers in Chemical Processes
Chemical engineers around the world know that the success of chemical processes often hinges on the efficient and reliable performance of the equipment used. Among the most critical components in many chemical plants is the heat exchanger, which plays a vital role in regulating temperature, facilitating reactions, and optimizing energy usage. The shell and tube […]
Two Methods for Cleaning Heat Exchanger Tubes: Chemical Cleaning vs. Hydroblasting
Though the oil and gas industry may be far from the food and beverage industry, the two have at least one thing in common: the shell and tube heat exchangers that help prepare products for sale to consumers must be in top condition.
5 Ways Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers Help Recover Waste Heat
One of the most significant sources of energy loss in industrial processes is waste heat – the thermal energy that escapes without being put to productive use. However, there’s a powerful tool at our disposal that can help us recapture this valuable resource: the shell and tube heat exchanger. Below, we’ll explore five ways that […]
How to Prepare to Clean a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
As most manufacturers who work with shell and tube heat exchangers know, fouling can be detrimental to an operation.
Designing a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Shell and tube heat exchangers are in integral part of many operations.
Maintaining Your Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Your shell and tube heat exchanger could be one of the most important pieces of equipment in your business.
Addressing the Impacts of Maldistribution in Heat Exchange
When processing liquids in a shell and tube heat exchanger, it is critical that everything is in order. If a small part of the exchanger is broken, flawed or contaminated, the entire batch of liquid will not be suitable for consumption.
