U TUBE SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER BUNDLE
| Feature | Advanced Hairpin Heat Exchanger | Fixed Tube Sheet Exchanger | Floating Head Exchanger | Plate Heat Exchanger |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Expansion | Excellent (Free expansion of U-tubes) | Poor (Requires an expansion joint for large ΔT) | Very Good (Floating head accommodates expansion) | Excellent (Plates flex independently) |
| Shell-Side Cleaning | Excellent (Removable bundle) | Poor (Bundle is fixed, mechanical cleaning impossible) | Excellent (Removable bundle) | N/A (Plates are accessible) |
| Tube-Side Cleaning | Fair (Limited to chemical cleaning due to U-bends) | Excellent (Straight tubes allow mechanical cleaning) | Excellent (Straight tubes allow mechanical cleaning) | Excellent (Plates are easy to clean) |
| High-Pressure Capability | Excellent (Robust design) | Good | Good (Complex internal seals can be a weakness) | Poor (Limited by gaskets and plate thinness) |
| Fouling Resistance | Good (Shell-side) / Fair (Tube-side) | Poor (Shell-side) / Good (Tube-side) | Good (Shell-side) / Good (Tube-side) | Very Good (High turbulence reduces fouling) |
| Initial Cost | Medium | Low | High (Complex construction) | Low to Medium |
| Maintenance Cost | Low (Easy access for shell-side maintenance) | Very High (if shell-side cleaning is needed) | Medium (Complex internal parts) | Medium (Gasket replacement) |
| Ideal Application | High-Pressure, High-Temperature, Large ΔT, Dirty Shell-Side Fluid | Clean, non-fouling fluids with small temperature differences | Applications requiring mechanical cleaning on both sides with large ΔT | Low to medium pressure, space-constrained, non-fouling applications |
