[0002] Tubular (also known as shell-and-tube or tubular) heat exchangers are the most typical type of indirect heat exchanger. They have a long history of industrial application and still dominate the market among all heat exchangers. A tubular heat exchanger mainly consists of a shell, tube bundle, tube sheet, and end caps. The shell is usually circular, containing parallel tube bundles. The ends of the tube bundles are fixed to the tube sheet. During operation, the tube bundles are secured and stabilized using aluminum support plates.
