Abstract: 
This paper presents the design of a hull and tube heat exchanger, including thermal calculation, until the definition of the geometry of its mechanical components. The service to which this exchanger will be designed, and to cool the disposal of the water used in the cooling process of a steel rolling mill. Then the mechanical design is presented, where the materials are specified and the dimensions are calculated for the main components of the exchanger. The TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards were the main international standards on which the mechanical design was based.
