Floating Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger
What is a Floating Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger?
A
Floating Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger is a type of
shell and tube heat exchanger where the tube bundle can freely expand and contract during thermal cycles. It’s mainly used in industries where temperature variations are significant. This design avoids stress on tubes and enhances long-term durability.
How Does a Floating Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger Work?
The floating head design allows one end of the tube bundle to "float" or move independently within the shell. This flexibility accommodates thermal expansion, prevents tube deformation, and simplifies cleaning. Hot and cold fluids pass through shell and tube sides, enabling efficient heat transfer without mixing.
