Is My Design OK? The Challenges of High Effectiveness Exchangers

June 14, 2018

Temperature effectiveness is the change in process fluid stream temperature divided by the difference between the hottest and coldest temperatures in the exchanger. If the required effectiveness is greater than 0.8, non-ideal fabrication or variable process conditions can significantly reduce performance of many exchanger types (shell-and-tube, plate-frame, plate-fin, etc.). Learn about...

TT-18 Design guidance for no-tube-in-window (NTIW) baffles

January 26, 2017

Component: Xist Applicable to: All supported versions (Versions 7.3 and 8) Date posted: 25 March 2015 Compared to other segmental baffle designs, no-tube-in-window (NTIW) baffles provide improved tube support with low pressure drop. Adding intermediate support plates between baffles can alleviate tube vibration for virtually any baffle spacing, thus simplifying low...

Is My Design OK? Applying API 661 Annex C to Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Designs with Viscous and High Pour Point Fluids

January 16, 2017

Winterization in accordance with API 661 Annex C may need to be considered by designers when air cooled heat exchangers are operating in climatic extremes. In order to prevent operating problems in-situ, a temperature safety margin should be added to the critical process temperature to determine the specified minimum tubewall temperature....

Is My Design OK? Evaluating the Potential for Acoustic Vibration

January 16, 2017

Intense sound and vibration can be produced by gas flow through a heat exchanger array of tubes. Typically, the oscillating pressure corresponds to a transverse standing wave across the heat exchanger shell that is perpendicular to the crossflow and the tube axes. The sound is attributed to flow-induced pressure pulsations that...

Is My Design OK? Heat Exchangers with Viscous Oils

January 16, 2017

Designing for applications using viscous oils is challenging. These fluids vary widely in viscosity, generally have a low Reynolds number, and can experience substantial flow maldistribution. To account for the resulting uncertainty, traditional thermal designs often include large fouling factors. This webinar identifies typical design issues and discusses the methods and...

Is My Design OK? Temperature Efficiency in Design

January 16, 2017

Design software packages use incremental models to correlate the performance of heat exchanger geometry and fluid heat release curves; however, the heat exchanger thermal efficiency is often lost in the process. Thermal efficiency enables designers to select appropriate heat exchanger geometries with respect to heat release curves. It also helps them...
