Oh, yeah! There are heat exchangers that contain many more tubes than this. If you're willing to pay for it, there are many manufacturers who will build it. Most large steam condensers used in a power plant have ten times this many tubes. A good text is "Heat Exchanger Design and Theory Sourcebook" by Afgan & Schlunder.

Yes indeed! I have personally delat with heat exchangers with higher number of tubes used for cooling power plants. The tubes assembly is called "tube bundle".

Dear Nishtha,

In Power plant 500-1000 MW or more turbine hot well surface condenser are available more than 10,000 Number of tubes.waste heat boiler in power plant gas turbine are shell & tube type heat exchanger are also larger size and having 5000-12000 number of tubes.

Hi mate

yes, it is possible and the number of tubes depends on the total area and the total amount of heat transfer required.
