Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (Product Code: SLE/EA/14) is a teaching heat exchanger used to demonstrate one of the most common designs in industry, with one fluid flowing through a bundle of small tubes and the other through the surrounding shell, in engineering laboratories. Baffles around the tube bundle create turbulent mixed flow on the shell side, helping students link lab results with plant practice. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Construction | A large tube (the shell) surrounding several smaller tubes (the tube bundle) |
| Flow arrangement | One fluid passes through the shell and the other through the tube bundle, transferring heat between them |
| Baffles | Fitted around the bundle to create a turbulent mixed flow |
| Design advantage | Compact, yet able to work at higher pressures than other designs |
| Industrial relevance | One of the most common heat exchanger types used in industry |
| Product code | SLE/EA/14 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
What Is the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Used For?
In a typical exercise, students record the inlet and outlet temperatures and flow rates of the shell-side and tube-side streams, work out the heat transferred, and compare the result with other exchanger types. Seeing the tube bundle inside a shell also makes the textbook diagrams of industrial exchangers much easier to follow.
The baffles force the shell-side fluid across the tubes rather than simply along them, which raises turbulence and improves heat transfer. Polytechnics and TVET colleges value the unit because it is the exchanger trainees are most likely to meet on a plant, and ScienceLab builds it as a TVET lab equipment manufacturer in India.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger and produces it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions receive it factory-direct rather than through a trading intermediary, so technical questions and follow-up orders reach the team that makes it. Distributors and importers can also buy directly for projects in India and international markets. Background on the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger work?
In the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger, one fluid flows through a bundle of smaller tubes while the other flows through the large surrounding shell, so heat passes through the tube walls from the hotter stream to the colder one.
What do the baffles do?
The baffles around the tube bundle of the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger create a turbulent mixed flow on the shell side. Turbulence disturbs the slow-moving layer next to the tubes, which helps heat move between the two fluids more effectively.
Why is this design so common in industry?
The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger represents a design widely used in industry because it is compact but can work at higher pressures than other designs, which is why it appears in so many process and power plants.
What supply and measuring equipment does it need?
Water supply and measurement requirements for the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger depend on the set-up being quoted. Ask us through the contact page and we will confirm which service unit and instruments it is used with.
Who manufactures the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger?
The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, India, for supply to colleges, dealers and importers.
What should a quotation request mention?
For the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (SLE/EA/14), mention the quantity, your institution, the delivery destination and whether you also need other exchangers or a service unit, so the manufacturer can send one complete quotation.
