Abstract (en)

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger has a tubular shell (10), two tube panels (11) mounted in the shell (10), multiple heat transfer tubes (13) axially mounted between the tube panels (11), an inlet tube (14) mounted in the shell (10) and connected to a shell side inlet (101) of the shell (10), a spurting tube (15) axially mounted in the shell (10) and connected to the inlet tube (14), and a front cover (20) and a rear cover (30) respectively mounted on a front opening and a rear opening of the shell (10). Shell side fluid spurts into the shell (10) from the spurting tube (15). The shell side fluid does not become turbulent, no air film occurs in the shell (10) and lower surfaces of the heat transfer tubes (15) act as heating surfaces so the heat exchanger has high heat transfer efficiency.
