TEMA
Single-tube-pass baffled single-pass-shell shell-and-tube heat exchanger designed to give essentially counterflow conditions. The toroidal expansion joint in the center of the shell accommodates differential thermal expansion between the tubes and the shell.
Heat exchanger similar to that of( c) except for the floating head used to accommodate differential thermal expansion between the tubes and the shell.
Heat exchanger that is similar to the heat exchanger in (d) but with a different type of floating head.
Single-tube-pass baffled single-pass-shell shell-and-tube heat exchanger with a packed joint floating head and double header sheets to assure that no fluid leaks from one fluid circuit into the other.

The maximum tube length for removable bundle exchangers may be restricted to about 9 m, with a maximum bundle weight of about 200 tons.
The maximum tube length for fixed tubesheet exchangers is less important but may be limited to about 15 m.

Corrosion
Fewer costly alloy or clad components are needed if the corrosive fluid is inside the tubes.
Fouling
This can be minimized by placing the fouling fluid in the tubes to allow better velocity control; increased velocities tend to reduce fouling
Temperature
For high-temperature services requiring expensive alloy materials, fewer alloy materials, fewer alloy components are needed when the hot fluid is placed on the tubeside.
Pressure
Placing a high-pressure stream in the tubes will require fewer (more costly) high-pressure components.
Viscosity
Higher heat-transfer rates are generally obtained by placing a viscous fluid on the shellside.
Flowrate
Placing the fluid with the lower flowrate on the shellside usually results in a more economical design.
