Stainless Steel Tube For Heat Exchanger
Introduction of Stainless Steel Tubes For Condensers:
The design of a Condenser tube is to condense process fluid out of the outside of the tube in the most efficient manner possible. The utility of Shell And Tube Condenser Stainless Steel is primarily suited to applications involving heat exchangers. In heat exchangers, there are several secondary operations where the SS Condenser Tubing is suited to be used. For instance, these tubes are used as a part of an evaporator and condenser refrigeration cycle in a chiller, right up to being used to condense steam in surface condensers.The main functions of a condenser are to de-superheat, condense, and subcool.
Introduction of Stainless Steel Tubes For Heat Exchangers:
A heat exchanger tube is a component of a heat exchanger that is responsible for transferring heat between two fluids. It is typically a long, hollow tube made of a highly conductive material such as metal, often stainless steel or copper. The purpose of the heat exchanger tube is to allow for the efficient exchange of thermal energy between the two fluids without any mixing or direct contact between them. One fluid flows inside the tube, while the second fluid flows around the outside of the tube. As the two fluids pass each other, heat is transferred from the hotter fluid to the cooler fluid through the walls of the tube. Heat exchanger tubes are widely used in various industrial applications for heating, cooling, or condensing fluids.

Heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between a solid object and a fluid, or between two or more fluids in different temperature, transfer heating from higher temperature fluid to lower temperature object to make fluid temperature to specified requirement, for stainless steel grades, there are shell and tube heat exchanger, plate heat exchangers, plate and shell heat exchanger and other heat exchanger, tube heat exchanger consists of a number of tubes inside bundle and sheet, widely used in many industries.
