Apex Multitube Steam Heat Exchanger
The Shell and Tube heat exchanger is a non-fired pressure system consisting of two separate pressure chambers (shell chamber and tube chamber). Separated by the internal tube wall, two media flow past one another with such alignment that, if there is a temperature difference, they will mutually exchange heat without mixing in the process.

A Multi-tube steam heat exchanger consists of a series of tubes contained within a steam pressure shell. Steam is delivered to the shell and is passed around the tube bundles. Heat is conducted through the tube bundles into the flowing well effluent.
