Inquiries about Tube & Shell Passes, Working & Design Pressure of Heat Exchanger

Inquiries about Tube & Shell Passes, Working & Design Pressure of Heat Exchanger

1. What constitutes the tube pass and shell pass in a heat exchanger? The tube pass is the section of the heat transfer tube channel that facilitates the flow and connection of the medium. The shell pass is the portion of the channel where the medium flows around the exterior of the heat transfer tube, connecting with one another. 2. How is the count of tube passes and shell passes determined in a heat exchanger? The number of tube passes indicates how many times the medium moves back and forth...

What Constitutes the Nominal Diameter and Length of Heat Exchangers?

What Constitutes the Nominal Diameter and Length of Heat Exchangers?

What does the nominal diameter of heat exchangers signify? For coiled cylinder heat exchangers, the nominal diameter (DN) is determined by the inner diameter of the cylinder. In steel cylinder heat exchangers, the nominal diameter is based on the outer diameter of the steel tube. How is the nominal length of the heat exchanger defined? For straight heat exchange tubes, the length of the straight tube section becomes the nominal length (LN). In the case of U-shaped tubes, the nominal length (LN)...

What Is a Heat Exchanger and How Is Its Transfer Area Determined?

What Is a Heat Exchanger and How Is Its Transfer Area Determined?

What is a heat exchanger? A heat exchanger is a device designed to transfer heat from a hotter fluid to a cooler fluid. What is the heat transfer area of a heat exchanger? The heat transfer area is calculated as the outer surface area of the tube, considering the outer diameter and deducting the length that extends into the tube sheet. In U-tube heat exchangers, the area of the U-shaped bend is typically excluded.
