Double Pipe Type Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

One major benefit of a double pipe heat exchanger is its ability to function in a genuine counterflow pattern, which is considered the most efficient flow pattern. This design ensures the double pipe heat exchanger achieves the highest overall heat transfer coefficient.

Double pipe heat exchangers are capable of effectively handling high pressures and temperatures. When operated in true counterflow, these heat exchangers can accommodate a temperature cross. In this scenario, the outlet temperature on the cold side is higher than that on the hot side.
