Kuoriputkilämpövaihdin

Kuoriputkilämpövaihdin is a type of heat exchanger commonly used in industrial processes. It consists of a shell or outer casing containing a bundle of tubes. One fluid flows through the tubes, while the other fluid flows around the tubes within the shell. Heat is transferred from the hotter fluid to the colder fluid through the tube walls. This design allows for efficient heat transfer in a compact space.

The construction of a kuoriputkilämpövaihdin typically involves a cylindrical shell, a tube bundle, and channel heads. The tube bundle can be made of various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or specialized alloys depending on the fluids and operating conditions. The shell is usually made of steel. The fluids are directed through the exchanger via inlet and outlet nozzles.

Kuoriputkilämpövaihtimia are utilized in a wide range of applications, including chemical processing, oil and gas refining, power generation, and HVAC systems. They are valued for their robustness, reliability, and ability to handle high pressures and temperatures. Maintenance typically involves cleaning the tubes and shell to remove any fouling that can impede heat transfer efficiency. The design can be adapted for different flow arrangements, such as counter-current or co-current flow, to optimize performance.
