The Shell & Tube heat exchanger is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes and is suited for higher-pressure applications. Shell & Tube heat exchangers consists of a shell with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids. The set of tubes is called a tube bundle, and may be composed of several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc.
