Valve Actuators Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve

to a desired position using an outside power source.

Valve Positioners
Valve positioners compare a control signal to a valve actuator's position and move the actuator
accordingly. They are used with both linear valves and rotary valves. Electrohydraulic Valve

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs.
[1][2]
It is the most common type of
heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure
applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel)
with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes
(through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids.
These exchangers provide true counter-current flow and are especially suitable for extreme
temperature crossing, high pressure, high temperature, and low to moderate surface area
requirements.
Hairpin heat exchangers utilize true counter-current flow, which maximizes the temperature differences
between the shellside and the tubeside fluids, unlike the multi-pass Shell and Tube designs where
correction factors are used to account for the inefficiencies resulting from co-current passes.

When your process calls for a temperature cross (when the hot fluid outlet temperature is below the cold
fluid outlet temperature), a hairpin heat exchanger is the most efficient design and will result in fewer
sections and less surface area.

Double-pipe heat exchangers use a single pipe within a pipe design and are commonly used for high
fouling services such as slurries, where abrasive materials are present, and for smaller duties. Standard
shell diameters range from 2 to 6.
