hi dears
Is it possible to design U type exchanger as 4 pass?

Very much so.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand
 
Theoretically a U-tube exchanger can support any even number of tube passes, but sometimes it can be difficult to weld the required pass partition plates into the channel head for small exchangers with several tube passes.

For a 2-pass U-tube exchanger the U-bends typically wrap around the horizontal centerline, but for 4 or more passes the U-bends must wrap around the vertical centerline.

Not strictly true if you can tolerate an odd channel nozzle arrangement :)
