Tubing is in the form of welded or seamless, but the welded type is more economical than the other one. The tube diameters typically are 5\/8 inch, 3\/4 inch, or 1 inch. Some tubes have smaller diameters. However, it is better to be avoided because the cleaning is more challenging in this case.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve a lower pressure drop, larger diameters might be used. Some tubes are equipped with supplements known as twisted tapes to enhance heat transfer when working with fluids with laminar flow conditions. All tubes are bundled and kept in a shell or casing.<\/p>\n<p>Tubes of Heat exchangers are manufactured in various types of austenitic or duplex stainless steels, nickel alloys, zirconium, and titanium, which are proper for all heat exchanger types in the applications of heaters and reheaters, coolers, condensers, and evaporators.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5726\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/U-Tube-Bundle-Heat-Exchanger.jpg\" alt=\"heat exchanger parts\" width=\"491\" height=\"277\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/U-Tube-Bundle-Heat-Exchanger.jpg 491w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/U-Tube-Bundle-Heat-Exchanger-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U tube bundle heat exchanger (Reference: <strong>heatexchanger.co<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Heat_Exchanger_Front_and_Rear_Headers\"><\/span><strong>The Heat Exchanger Front and Rear Headers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fluid enters the heat exchanger from the front header. It exits the rear header before re-entering the front header to pass through the tubes several times. The front header is also called the stationary header.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Front Header Types<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>There are different types of front headers, including A-B-C-D-N-Y types. These are fixed types, and their application varies according to the flow pressure, cost, ease of cleaning, and repair. For example, type B is cheaper than type A and is used for higher pressures, but type A is easier to repair. Types C and D are used for pressures above 100 bar. In type N, the tubes can be accessed without disturbing the operation of the system. Y is also the cheapest front header and is installed in a pipeline.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Rear Header Types\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>There are two available rear headers: fixed and floating.<\/p>\n<p>For standard service, a Fixed rear header including L, M, and N-types are used if there is no high mechanical stress because of differential expansion and the shell side does not need cleaning. When there is a possibility of thermal expansion, a fixed rear header with a bellows is used if the shell side fluid is not dangerous and does not need mechanical cleaning, and the pressure does not surpass 35 bar.<\/p>\n<p>A U-tube rear header is used to overcome the problems with thermal expansion and facilitates cleaning the bundle by removing it.<\/p>\n<p>An S-type header, which is a floating type, is used when thermal expansion must be provided. Also, it is necessary to access both sides of the exchanger for cleaning. Other rear header types are not usual except for exceptional cases. The T-type header is another floating header that is cheaper and simpler to extract the bundle than the S-type. It allows for unrestricted thermal expansion.<\/p>\n<p>In the figure below, you can see the types of front and rear headers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5731\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5731\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/headers.gif\" alt=\"heat exchanger parts\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1009\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The heat exchanger front and rear header types (Reference: <strong>chemicalprocessing.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transfer_Line_Exchangers\"><\/span><strong>Transfer Line Exchangers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Transfer line exchangers (TLX) task is to cool very hot gas quickly. Their function is more noticeable in very harsh conditions. TLX design depends on the heat exchanger tubing pattern, but it needs a special design to work efficiently. They join the radiating coil outlets through flange or welded juncture. For the regions exposed to hot gas but not cooled by water, they require internal insulation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Air_Cooling_System_of_a_Heat_Exchanger\"><\/span><strong>The Air Cooling System of a Heat Exchanger<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The system of air cooling in a heat exchanger contains fin fans, condensers, and chillers. The design of fin fans is performed to meet the need of blowing over the hot tubes to keep them cool efficiently. The condenser function is to cool objects until the phase change from a gas to a liquid occurs. Chillers utilize water as their coolant and keep the water temperature low to cool the devices without freezing the water.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_exchanger_Shell\"><\/span><strong>Heat exchanger Shell<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In shell and tube heat exchangers, one fluid flows inside the tubes, and the other fluid flows inside the shell. The shell is a large pressure vessel inside which the pipe bundles are located. This is the most expensive component among heat exchanger parts. The figure below shows the construction of the heat exchanger consisting of shells and tubes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5728\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shell.png\" alt=\"heat exchanger parts\" width=\"670\" height=\"629\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shell.png 670w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shell-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shell-447x420.png 447w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The shell of a heat exchanger (Reference: <strong>researchgate.net<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Usually, high-pressure fluid flows into the tubes, and low-pressure fluid flows into the shell. The shell has to be maintained against high pressures by rupture discs or relief valves. The diameter of the shell is dependent on the diameter of the tube bundle. Standard pipes are usually used for shell diameters up to 24 inches. Above this value, the shell is from the rolled plate. Typically shell diameters range from 6 inches to 120 inches.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_Exchanger_Baffles\"><\/span><strong>Heat Exchanger<\/strong><strong> Baffles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Baffles are mounted on the shell side to supply a higher heat transfer rate, consequently increasing turbulence of the flow.

It can be changed to vary the cross-flow velocity. Practically, the baffle pitch is not usually larger than the inside diameter of the shell or less than 20% of the diameter.<\/p>\n<p>A part of the baffle is removed to enable the fluid to move backward and forward across the tubes. The baffle cut size (also called baffle window) is considered along with the baffle pitch. Baffle cut size depends on the baffle type. However, it is usually 45% for single segmental and 25% for double segmental types.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Baffles Types<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>There are different types of baffles to suit the use, size, and cost.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Longitudinal flow baffles are used in the case of a two-pass shell. There are two principal baffle types that supply longitudinal flow: Orifice baffle and Rod baffle, in which the turbulence is produced as the fluid flow crosses the baffle.<\/li>\n<li>Impingement Baffles are used for maintaining the bundle when the entry velocity is high.<\/li>\n<li>De-resonating (detuning) baffles are used to decrease tube vibration.<\/li>\n<li>Single segmental baffles<\/li>\n<li>Double segmental baffles<\/li>\n<li>Support\/Blanking baffles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To ensure the spaces between the baffles, spacers are used. They prevent the baffles from sliding due to the force applied by the fluids. The number of spacers depends on their sizes and the diameter of the shell.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heat_Exchanger_Tube_sheet\"><\/span><strong>Heat Exchanger Tube sheet<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The tube sheets help support and isolate the tubes.
