Putkivaihtimia
Putkivaihtimia, also known as shell and tube heat exchangers, are common industrial devices used for efficient heat transfer between two fluids. One fluid flows through a bundle of tubes, while the other fluid circulates around these tubes within a sealed shell. The design allows for a large surface area for heat exchange, making them highly effective. They are widely employed in various industries, including chemical processing, power generation, oil and gas, and HVAC systems, due to their durability and reliability.
The basic construction involves a cylindrical shell containing a tube bundle. The tubes can be straight or
There are various configurations of putkivaihtimia, differing in the number of passes the fluids make through
