AEL - Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Principle of the enclosed tube bundle: Shell and tube heat exchanger consist of a hollow cylinder (shell) with inserted bundle of a large number of tubes. A medium flows through each of them. The tube bundles can be designed as straight- or U-tube and can be connected to the shell tightly or drawable.
Possible dimensions
- Shell diameter: 80 mm – 3,500 mm
- Bundle length: 300 mm – 12,000 mm
- Weight: ≤ 125 t
Upon request, it is also possible to deliver products outside of this dimensioning range.
Production of all recognised types
The nomenclature of the TEMA (Tubular Heat Exchanger Manufacturing Association, USA) is the internationally recognised standard for types of shell and tube heat exchanger. Many applications can be realised on this basis. AEL develops and produces shell and tube heat exchanger of all TEMA types. Furthermore, we also produce according to other standards (e.g. Working Group for Pressure Vessels, ASME, GOST, British Standard).
Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger
A special design of the shell and tube heat exchanger – an element cooler with rectangular tube bundle and plate fin. Due to the large surface, heat exchanger of this kind have a high performance with comparatively low pressure losses.
