The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is provided with an outer tube, an inner heat exchange tube, a heat exchange conduit, a three-way ball core, a fixed tube, a sewage tube and a connecting tube. The heat exchange liquid enters the inner heat exchange tube and the heat exchanged liquid enters the heat exchange conduit, thus completing the heat exchange. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is small in size and does not need to occupy a large space. The valve stem is rotated, and the valve stem rotates with the three-way ball valve, so that the inner heat exchange tube, the heat exchange conduit and the fixed tube are sealed. The through holes of the multiple three-way ball cores correspond to the fixed tube and the connecting tube respectively. The scale cleaning liquid is injected into the inner heat exchange tube, the heat exchange conduit and the fixed tube, so that the scale inside the inner heat exchange tube, the heat exchange conduit, the outer tube and the fixed tube can be cleaned.

At the same time, the cam rotates with the left valve stem and the three-way ball core through the fixed rod, the rotating rod and the transmission rod. In this way, multiple three-way ball cores can be rotated simultaneously for sealing and opening without rotating them one by one. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
