    Outside Packed Floating Head

    Uploaded by

    Gurunath Epili
    This document discusses three main types of heat exchangers: fixed tubsheet exchangers, packed floating head exchangers, and U-tube exchangers. Fixed tubsheet exchangers have lower costs, welded joints that reduce leaks, and replaceable tubes. Packed floating head exchangers allow for inspection and cleaning of tube exteriors and accommodate thermal expansion. U-tube exchangers are the cheapest to produce and allow independent tube expansion, close packing for efficiency, and multiple tube passes. Each type has advantages making it applicable to different applications like vacuum processes, oil cooling, or high pressure/temperature uses.

    Inside packed Floating Head

    FIXED TUBESHEET EXCHANGER

    Advantages

    This type has a lower cost per


    square meter of heat transfer area
    than floating heat exchanger.
    It utilizers straight tubes which are
    easily replaceable and cleaned from
    inside.
    As shell is always welded to the
    tubesheets there is no gasketed or
    packed joints on the shell side, thus
    leading to fewer leakages points.
    Any number of tube passes is
    possible with
    partitions on both the heads.
    Individual tubes are replaceable
    without any
    trouble.

    Applications
    Fixed tubsheet models
    are
    universally used except
    when it is essential to
    inspect and clean the
    tube outside. This type of
    completely closed shell
    side
    circuit is particularly
    advantageous for high
    vacuum operations or
    when gasket
    material is a problem.

    There is minimum by-passing


    between tube bundle
    and shell.

    PACKED FLOATING HEAD TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER

    Advantages

    Applications

    The tube bundle is easily


    removable for mechanical
    cleaning of outside of tubes.
    It utilise straight tubes which
    are easily replaceable
    It is very easy for assembly
    and inspection.
    It offers provision for thermal
    expansion.
    Any leakage passing through
    the packing goes through the
    weep holes to the atmosphere
    and can be easily detected.

    This type of construction


    is
    universally used for
    cooling of
    oils - lube, hydraulic,
    quench, etc. and
    generally employed for
    process heating or
    cooling where removable
    bundle is
    essential.

    U-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER


    Advantages

    It is the cheapest
    heat exchanger
    construction.
    There is no
    internal gasket.
    The tube bundle
    can be easily
    removed. This
    permits easy
    acces for
    cleansing and
    inspecting of tube
    from outside.
    U-bend shape
    allows each
    individual tube to
    expand and
    contract
    independently,
    thus taking care
    of

    Applications
    The U - tube exchanger is
    particularly recommended for
    high pressure and temperature
    applications. Common uses are
    for condensing steam inside
    the tubes or boiling freon or
    ammonia The U - tube design
    is often utilised for integral
    tower / bottom reboilers
    (without shells) and for kettle
    type reboilers. It is widely
    used in
    boilers feed water heater and is
    frequently employed as a tank
    suction heater for pre - heating
    of various products before
    pumping (shell open at U bend end).

    differential
    expansion.
    The tube bundle
    fits very close to
    the inside of the
    shell. It
    minimizers bypassing and
    utilizes fully the
    space within the
    shell.
    Any practical
    even number of
    passes on tube
    side is possible.
    Since there is no
    internal cleaning,
    a bonnet can be
    used at the
    stationery tube
    end. This offers a
    saving over more
    expensive
    channel with
    flangers and
    bolted on cover.

    Baffle types
    Baffles are installed on the shell side to give a higher
    heat-transfer rate due to increased turbulence and to
    support the tubes thus reducing the chance of damage
    due to vibration. There are a number of different
    baffle types, which support the tubes and promote
    flow across the tubes. Figure 5 shows the following
    baffle arrangements:

    Single Segmental (this is the most common),


    Double Segmental (this is used to obtain a lower
    shellside velocity and pressure drop),

    Disc and Doughnut.
