Tube bundle heat exchanger

The P-Tube belongs to the family of tube bundle heat exchangers which are used in many areas.
Essentially, the P-Tube consists of

  1. the tube bundle
  2. a distributor or connecting plate
  3. the shell
  4. and the inlet and outlet on the shell side.

 

The bundle of tubes is installed in a tube shell.

Located at both ends are the distributor plates with connections where the primary medium, which flows through the tube bundle, leaves the bundle or is turned.

The secondary medium enters the tube shell at the inlet/outlet, flows through the P-Tube on the shell side and flows around the tube bundle.

Like the M-Tube, the P-Tube is also available with

  • hard
  • medium
  • or without

pipe embossing, as required.

The spiral embossing of the P-Tube produces swirls in the media flows and

a.    improves the heat transfer by up to 30 %
b.    substantially reduces or prevents deposits on the surface
c.    and improve the mechanical stability of the P-Tube.
