Which has a thicker condensate film, a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchanger or a horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and why?

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are generally designed to be horizontal in order to increase the residence time of the materials being heated or cooled. However, if there are specific requirements, spiral-wound heat exchangers can be used in a vertical configuration; they offer high heating efficiency and require less space.

Vertical heat exchangers are mainly used in falling film evaporation
