Hair Pin (removable type) Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

A primary advantage of a hairpin heat exchanger is that it can be operated in a true counterflow pattern, which is the most efficient flow pattern.

Reboilers are commonly employed heat exchangers in industrial distillation columns, serving the purpose of supplying heat to the lower section. Their function involves boiling the liquid from the base of the distillation column, producing vapors that are then reintroduced into the column to facilitate the separation process.
