A gas cooler shell and tube graphite heat exchanger is a device that cools a gas by transferring heat between two fluids using graphite tubes. Graphite heat exchangers are used in a variety of applications, including cooling, heating, and evaporating corrosive chemicals. 

How it works

A shell and tube heat exchanger has a large pressure vessel (shell) with a bundle of tubes inside. 

One fluid flows through the tubes, while the other flows over the outside of the tubes. 

Heat is transferred through the graphite tube walls between the two fluids. 

Benefits

Graphite is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use with harsh chemicals. 

Graphite has high thermal conductivity, making it effective for heating and cooling. 

Graphite heat exchangers are versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications. 

Applications

Cooling humid air in gas production processes 

Cooling, heating, absorbing, condensing, or evaporating large flow rates of corrosive chemicals 

Processing acids like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid
