Njengondoqo wesixhobo kwindawo yokutshintshiselana ngobushushu, iqokobhe{0}}kunye{1}}netyhubhu yokutshintshiselana kobushushu idlala indima ephambili kumashishini afana neekhemikhali zepetroli, ukuveliswa kwamandla, kunye nokulungiswa kokutya, ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo esibambeneyo, ukusebenza kakuhle kokudluliselwa kobushushu, kunye nokuguquguquka okubanzi. Umgaqo wayo wokusebenza usekwe kukhutshelo lobushushu phakathi kweencindi ezimbini zamaqondo obushushu ahlukeneyo, ukuzuza ukutshintshiselana kobushushu ngeqokobhe-kunye{4}}nesakhiwo setyhubhu.
Esi sixhobo ikakhulu siqulathe iqokobhe, inyanda yetyhubhu yokutshintshiselana ngobushushu, iphepha letyhubhu, kunye nentloko. Ulwelo oluphezulu-lobushushu kunye nolwelo olusezantsi{2}}lobushushu oluhamba ngecala lombhobho (ngaphakathi kwityhubhu zotshintshiselwano ngobushushu) kunye necala leqokobhe (phakathi kweqokobhe kunye netyhubhu), ngokulandelelana, kusetyenziswa udonga lwetyhubhu njengendawo yokudlulisa ubushushu. Xa kukho umahluko weqondo lobushushu phakathi kwezi zinto zimbini, ubushushu bufuduswa ukusuka kwicala eliphezulu{4}}lobushushu ngaphaya kodonga lwetyhubhu ukuya kwicala elisezantsi{5}}lobushushu, ekugqibeleni kufikelelwe ukulingana kobushushu. I-tube bundle yenziwa ngentsimbi (efana nentsimbi estainless okanye i-carbon steel), i-thermal conductivity yayo ephezulu iqinisekisa ukuhanjiswa kobushushu ngokukhawuleza, ngelixa iqokobhe elahlukileyo{7}}kunye{8}}noyilo lwetyhubhu luvumela uhlengahlengiso oluzimeleyo loxinzelelo kunye nesantya sokuhamba kolwelo kumacala omabini.
Ubuchule bokudlulisa ubushushu beqokobhe{0}}kunye{1}}netyhubhu yokutshintshiselana kobushushu iphenjelelwa zizinto ezininzi, eziquka ipateni yokuqukuqela kwamanzi (i-counterflow, i-cocurrent, okanye i-crossflow), ityhubhu idayamitha kunye noxinaniso, kunye nolungiselelo lwendawo yokutshintsha ubushushu. Uyilo lwe-Counterflow lukholisa ukukhethwa ngenxa yosetyenziso oluphezulu lomahluko weqondo lobushushu, ngelixa ii-multi{3} ulungelelwaniso lokupasa lunokwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle kokugqithisela ubushushu. Ngaphaya koko, ukucocwa rhoqo okanye ukongezwa kwee-baffles kunokunciphisa ukukala kunye nokuchasana nokuhamba, ukugcina ukusebenza okuzinzileyo kwexesha elide{5}.
Kuseto lwemizi-mveliso, iqokobhe{0}}kunye{1}}nezitshintshi zobushushu ityhubhu azilungelanga kuphela ukufudumeza okuqhelekileyo kunye nokupholisa kodwa zingakwazi nokuphatha imidiya edlekayo okanye{2}}imeko zoxinzelelo oluphezulu. Uyilo lwabo lweemodyuli luququzelela ukugcinwa kunye nokwandiswa, kubenze basetyenziswe ngokubanzi kulawulo lobushushu be-reactor, iinkqubo zokubuyisela amandla, kunye nokusetyenziswa kobushushu benkunkuma kwiinkqubo ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo. Njengoko iimfuno zamandla kushishino lwehlabathi zisanda, olu hlobo lwezixhobo luyaqhubeka nokubonisa ixabiso elibalulekileyo kugcino lwamandla kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo ngokusungula izinto ezintsha kunye nokuphuculwa kwesakhiwo, ibe yinxalenye engundoqo yentsebenziswano yethekhinoloji yamazwe ngamazwe kunye norhwebo.
