PURPOSE: An aldol condensing reactor using a tube-shaped reactor and an aldol condensing method using the same are provided to omit a non-reacted material collecting apparatus and to continuously form aldol condensed product. CONSTITUTION: An aldol condensing reactor includes a tube type reactor(7), a circulating type heat exchanger(9), and an oil and water separator(12). The aldol condensing reactor aldol condenses linear aldehyde which is obtained from hydroformylation. The tube type reactor is rotatably installed in the reactor and includes a spiral continuous member. Pitches are repeatedly formed along the longitudinal direction of the spiral continuous member. A circulating type heat exchanger is in connection with one end of the tube type reactor and controls the temperature of reacting liquid. The oil and water separator is in connection with the rear side of the tube type reactor. The oil and water separator receives reacting liquid and separates the reacting liquid into an oil part and a water part. The oil part is collected, and the water part is discharged.
