Standard design
The Alfa Laval Tube in Tube heat exchanger consists of a
single tube mounted inside an outer shell tube. The product
medium flows inside this tube, and the service medium around
it. It is a fully welded construction with a bellow on shell tube
to absorb thermal expansion. The Alfa Laval Tube in Tube
heat exchanger modules are normally connected in series and
mounted on support frame or full frame.
Working principles
The product medium inside the tube flows in counter current to
the service medium. The product tube is corrugated or it can Graphic representation of the flow pattern in the Alfa Laval Tube in Tube
be smooth. The shell tube is always smooth. The installation is heat exchanger.
maintenance free, thus eliminating any need for spare parts.
