Strength design aspects of heat exchangers with fixed tube sheet

Effectively Design Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers

heat exchangers (STHEs) is done by sophisticated computer software. However, a good understanding of the underlying principles of exchanger design is needed to use this software effectively. This article explains the basics of exchanger thermal design, covering such topics as: STHE components; classification of STHEs according to construction and according to service; data needed for thermal de...

Thermal Design Considerations and Performance Evaluation of Cryogenic Tube in Tube Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are the most important equipment in refrigeration processes. Design and modeling of heat exchangers operating at low temperatures are different from other regular heat exchangers. This study includes two sections. In the first section, design and modeling considerations needed for evaluating the real thermal behavior of heat exchangers at low temperatures were discussed. The...

2.5. Preliminary Design of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

Second, the exchanger must withstand the service conditions of the plant environment. This includes the mechanical stresses of installation, startup, shutdown, normal operation, emergencies, and maintenance, and the thermal stresses induced by the temperature differences. It must also resist corrosion by the process and service streams (as well as by the environment); this is usually mainly a m...

Design and Optimization of Capillary Tube-Suction Line Heat Exchangers

Investigation of shell and tube heat exchangers by using a design of experiment

Heat exchangers are one of the most important devices of mechanical systems in modernsociety. Most industrial processes involve the transfer of heat and more often they requirethe heat transfer process to be controlled. A heat exchanger is the heat exchanged betweentwo media, one being cold and the other being hot. There are different types of heatexchanger, but the type which is widely used in...
