Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are used mostly in the chemical processing industry for heating, cooling, condensing, and evaporating highly corrosive liquids and gases. Shell and tube heat exchangers are one of the most popular heat exchanger types of heat exchanger because of their flexibility to accommodate a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Unlike conventional shell and tube heat exchangers , Niche products avoid scaling and fouling by using tubing made from essentially chemically inert fluoropolymers. Niche is the original fluoropolymer heat exchangers manufacturer and still the only company that makes FEP and PFA tubing for These unique materials have advantages overheat exchangers made with metal, graphite or glass. Metal corrodes when it interacts with harsh chemicals, causing maintenance and reliability problems, and may lead to failure under pressure. Graphite and glass tubes may crack from thermal and mechanical shock, which may result in catastrophic failure and costly downtime.
