The U-tube heat exchanger is a kind that belongs to the petroleum and chemical Industry mainly. This kind of heat exchanger is named after the U-shape tubes make an arrangement of u tubes which create u tube bundle.
U Tube Heat Exchanger Advantages
The tube bundle can expand or contract freely, and it will not produce thermal stress due to the temperature difference between the tube and shell, which leads a good thermal compensation performance.
*The structure is simple, with only one tube sheet and less sealing surface, thus, the price is low.
*It is easy to make the u tube heat exchanger cleaning and maintenance, which is because the tube bundle can be drawn from the shell body.
*This kind of heat exchanger has a light quality and is suitable for situations with high temperatures and high pressure.
