Types and Key Control Parameters of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers include several types, such as fixed tube sheet steam-to-water heat exchangers, shell-and-tube steam-to-water heat exchangers with expansion joints, floating head steam-to-water heat exchangers, U-tube shell-and-tube steam-to-water heat exchangers, bellows-type shell-and-tube steam-to-water heat exchangers, and sectional water-to-water heat exchangers.

The main control parameters of shell-and-tube heat exchangers include heating area, hot water flow rate, heat transfer capacity, and heating medium parameters.
