Heat Transfer with Tube Heat Exchangers

Equipment that enables two different fluids to exchange heat without mixing is called a heat exchanger. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are the most reliable solution for high pressures and wide temperature ranges.

Efficient Heat Exchange

The system consists of numerous thin tubes placed inside a large body. While one fluid passes through the tubes, the other flows around the tubes inside the body. This large surface area ensures that heat is transferred quickly and without loss.

Why Stainless Steel?

In heat exchangers, material quality equates to both longevity and performance:

High Heat Transfer: Stainless steel provides efficient transfer without deformation at high temperatures.

Corrosion Resistance: Minimises the risk of perforation when working with aggressive chemicals or corrosive fluids.

Easy Maintenance: Smooth inner surfaces reduce scale formation and speed up cleaning processes.

Applications

They are used in a wide range of applications, from pasteurising milk to cooling chemical reactions. Thanks to their durable structure, they offer uninterrupted performance, especially in processes requiring rapid heating or cooling.

ÖNSA Makine designs high-efficiency stainless steel heat exchangers tailored to your facility's capacity and fluid type.

What is a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger?

A tube heat exchanger is mechanical equipment that enables heat transfer between two different fluids without them coming into contact with each other, through bundles of tubes placed inside a body. These systems, the most commonly used type of heat exchanger in industry, play a fundamental role in the food, pharmaceutical and petrochemical sectors with their high pressure resistance and easy-to-clean structure.
