The invention discloses a shell and tube type heater. The heater comprises an upper head, a heating container, a tube plate which is horizontally mounted and an
electric heating pipe vertically mounted, the tube plate is connected with the
electric heating pipe through a screw sleeve and a clamping sleeve, the screw sleeve and the clamping sleeve are coaxially wound on the outer wall of the
electric heating pipe, the clamping sleeve is mounted below the screw sleeve, the outer thread of the screw sleeve and the inner thread of the tube plate are engaged, a blade of the clamping sleeve is clamped to the wall of the electric heating tube, the upper head and the upper surface of the tube plate define a first space, the heating container is used for containing heated liquid, the liquid face ofthe heated liquid and the lower surface of the tube plate define a second space, the bottom end of the electric heating tube is located below the liquid level of the heated liquid, the shell and tubetype heater further comprises a ventilation pipe penetrating through the tube plate, being up to the first space, and being down to the second space, according to the shell and tube type heater, pressure-resisting needs of the tube plate, the upper head and a
flange can be reduced, meanwhile, the material level of the tube plate, the upper head and the
flange can be reduced, and the weight is reduced.
