1. Pendahuluan

A shell and tube heat exchanger is one of the most common heat exchanger types that can provide reliable heat transfer in industrial processes such as power plants, chemical processing, and HVAC.

2. What is a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger?

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that has a shell with a bundle of tubes inside. The tube bundle divides the heat exchanger into two fluids. One fluid runs through the tubes, while the other fluid flows outside the tubes, but inside the shell.
