About Double Tube Sheet Designs
Double tube sheet designs are utilized in sanitary shell and tube heat exchangers in order to minimize the risk of cross-contamination between product and heating/cooling media. With these designs, the service medium is sealed within the shell by one tube sheet, while the other tube sheet seals the product; this allows for simple visual detection in a leakage event.
