Double tubesheets are used for applications where the mixing of the tube-side fluid and the shell-side fluid must be avoided. In the event of leaks occurring where the extremities of the tubes are expanded into the tubesheet, the tube-side fluid would leak between the two tubesheets instead of leaking into the shell.

Separate Double Tubesheets: |
| |
The gap between the two tubesheets is open to the atmosphere so any leakage of either fluid should be visually and quickly detected.

Typical Applications: |
| |
Typically a feature of pharmaceutical heat exchangers. However, any shell and tube exchanger may be equipped with a double-tubesheet design.
