Double Tubes - Function and Design | Unlike a standard shell & tube heat exchanger with a single wall design, the tubes in double tube safety models have two walls, consisting of an inner and outer tube. They also have two tube sheets at each end. If a tube wall is damaged, the product flows through leakage channels arranged between the double tubes into a leakage collection space and triggers an alarm in the leak detection device. Because the second tube wall remains undamaged, the media are kept separate. This means that the plant operator can continue to run the heat exchanger until the next maintenance, avoiding costly unplanned downtimes, as well as contamination of your process and its equipment.
