SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER TYPES AND STRUCTURE

-
Fixed tube plate type: fix both ends of the pipe on the fixed tube plate at both ends of the shell. The tube plate is fixed to the shell. Advantages: simple structure, low manufacturing cost, wide range of specifications, widely used in engineering. Disadvantages: shell side inconvenience cleaning, can only use chemical cleaning, maintenance is difficult, more dirty or corrosive media can not go through the shell. When the temperature difference between the shell and the heat exchanger is large,small temperature difference stress can be reduced by single or multi-wave expansion.
U-tube type: the heat exchange tube is bent into a u-shape, and the two ends of the tube are fixed in the same block. On the tube plate, the bending end is not fixed. Heat exchange tube can be freely telescopic, so the shell and heat exchange tube without thermal stress. There is only one tube plate, the structure is simple, the tube bundle can be taken out from the shell, the shell side is easy to clean, but the cleaning inside the tube is difficult, the medium inside the tube must be clean and not easy to scale. Shell side can be set up longitudinal partition, shell side is divided into two.

Floating head type: one end of the tube plate is fixed with the shell, and the other end of the tube plate can float freely in the shell. Advantages: 1. Free thermal deformation of shell and tube bundle, no thermal stress. 2. The tube bundle can be extracted from the shell, which is convenient for the maintenance and cleaning of the shell. Disadvantages: 1. The floating head cover is connected with the tube plate flange with a considerable area, making the shell diameter increase. 2. A ring channel with less resistance is formed between the floating head and the shell, through which some fluid will pass by without taking part in heat exchange. Application: the temperature difference between the shell and the tube is large, the medium in the shell is corrosive and easy to scale.

Everything you should know about U bend tube

  Murphy can make  U bend tube  in our factory according to customer requirements. The elbow is heat treated according to the customer’s requirements, and then hydrostatic pressure test and dye penetration test are performed as needed. U-shaped elbows are widely used in  heat exchanger  systems. Heat exchanger equipment based on stainless steel U bend tube plays an important role in the nuclear industry and petrochemical machinery manufacturing. U bend tube heat exchangers are specially designed for high temperature applications, especially steam condensing or hot oil systems. When the differential expansion makes the fixed tube-sheet heat exchanger unsuitable, and in some cases the floating head type (HPF) cannot be selected, the U bend tube heat exchanger will be selected. The surface of the finished U-shaped elbow should be free from scale and scratches after bending. Dimensional tolerance U-bend pipes are in accordance with relevant regulations of TEMA R.C.B. and ASTM A566 and ASTM

1. Metal material heat exchanger Common materials are carbon steel, alloy steel, copper and copper alloy, aluminum and aluminum alloy, titanium and titanium alloy. Because the thermal conductivity of metal material is large, the heat transfer efficiency of this kind of heat exchanger is high. 2. Non-metallic material heat exchanger Commonly used materials are graphite, glass, plastic, ceramics, etc. Because of the small thermal conductivity of nonmetallic materials, the heat transfer efficiency of this type of heat exchanger is low. Often used in corrosive systems. hashtag www.murphyfinnedtubes.com 1. Tube heat exchanger A heat exchanger that conducts heat through a tube wall. It can be divided into shell heat exchanger, coil heat exchanger, tube heat exchanger, fin heat exchanger and so on. 2. Plate heat exchanger A heat exchanger that conducts heat through a plate surface. According to the structural form of heat transfer plate can be divided into plate type, spiral plate

Spiral plate heat exchanger equipment quality problems.

Spiral plate heat exchanger equipment can be broken down, mostly because of quality problems. Compared with the heat transfer surface of other heat exchangers, the heat transfer surface of this heat exchanger is quite thin, that is, 0.5mm, and the allowable high corrosion degree is 0.05mm/ year. The material of common spiral plate heat exchanger equipment usually USES alloy material (304 or 316), 304 is the low cost of austenitic stainless steel, has the ability to resist corrosion to a certain range of organic matter, but the ability to resist hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid is weak. Spiral plate heat exchanger equipment can be broken down, but also because of its own maintenance problems. Spiral plate heat exchanger equipment is an important component of heat exchange technology in process industrial equipment. The resilient gasket that seals between the various helical fins is a vulnerable part and also an easily aged part under natural conditions. Its service life has an impo
