The invention relates to a compact shell-and-tube heat exchanger, comprising an elliptical shell, a left end cover, a right end cover, multiple sets of tube bundles, and a fin-covered copper tube superheater. The left end of the elliptical shell and the left The fixed plate is connected, the left end cover is arranged on the left fixed plate, the right end of the oval shell is connected with the right fixed plate, the right end cover is arranged on the right fixed plate, and the A support plate, the elliptical shell at the lower end of the support plate is provided with multiple groups of tube bundles, and the elliptical shell at the upper end of the support plate is provided with a fin-covered copper tube superheater; the invention has a compact structure and a small footprint , convenient transportation and installation, and low maintenance cost; by setting a finned copper tube superheater in the oval shell, the supercooling degree of the high-pressure refrigerant is increased, and the superheating degree of the saturated steam of the low-pressure refrigerant is increased, which improves the unit cooling of the refrigerant. The heat exchange efficiency is improved, and at the same time, it effectively prevents the heat exchanger from being filled with liquid and avoids the liquid shock of the compressor.
