Send InquiryChat NowIntroduction
Tube Bundle Heat Exchangers are industrial heat transfer equipment that use multiple tubes arranged together as a tube bundle to transfer thermal energy between two separated fluids.
The tube bundle is the main heat transfer component. In a typical shell-and-tube configuration, the bundle is installed inside a pressure-rated shell.
One process medium flows through the tubes, while another medium flows around the external surfaces of the tubes.
Quick Details
Place of Origin: Jiangsu, China (Mainland)
Standard: ASME, MOM, DOSH, IBR, JIS, PED, GB, Chinese standard

The operating principle is based on indirect heat transfer through the tube wall.
Step 1 - Hot Fluid Enters
The hot process medium enters the designated flow channel.
01
Step 2 - Cold Fluid Enters
The cooling medium enters the opposite side of the heat exchanger.
02
Step 3 - Heat Transfers Through the Tubes
Thermal energy moves from the hotter medium through the tube wall to the colder medium.
03
Step 4 - Hot Fluid Cools
As heat is removed, the process fluid temperature decreases.
04
Step 5 - Cold Fluid Heats
The cooling medium absorbs thermal energy and exits at a higher temperature.
