In a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where gas flows through the shell side, is it possible to omit baffle plates?

Dear friends, please share your opinions
If steam flows in the shell side, baffle plates are not necessary, but support plates are required
There should also be short circuits; it seems that some settings are still needed
If it’s not set, how can the vibration problem be solved?
It still needs to be configured; for the most common type of condenser, the gas flows through the shell layer, and baffles are added to improve fluidity
Baffles should be installed to increase the flow rate, prolong the flow path, reduce vibrations, and support the tubes.
Whether to set it depends on the function of the baffle, which is to guide flow and provide support. If there are no such problems, then it’s not necessary to set them.
