Abstract (en)

Shell-and-tube heat exchanger with substantially cylindrical geometry and straight exchanging tubes, apt to indirectly exchange heat between a shell-side fluid and a tube-side fluid contacted in pure counter-current and with a number of shell-side passes larger than the number of tube-side passes.The heat exchanger comprises shell-side longitudinal baffles, plane or cylindrical in shape, having one end open and free longitudinally opposite and delimiting different shell-side zones crossed and not crossed by the tube-bundle.Heat exchanger configured to operate in dual mode and, in particular, as a boiler when the shell-side fluid mainly exchanges latent heat and as a heater or cooler when the shell-side fluid mainly exchanges sensible heat.
