HOW TO SELECT THE OPTIMUM SHELL-AND-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

FLUID ALLOCATION

CORROSION Need fewer costly alloy components if the corrosive fluid is inside the tubes

FOULING Placing the fouling liquid in the tubes allows better velocity control;

Increased velocities tend to reduce fouling;

Straight tubes allow mechanical cleaning without removing the tube bundle

TEMPERATURE High temperature requires special or expensive alloy materials;

Fewer alloy components are needed when the hot fluid is placed within the tubes

PRESSURE Placing a high-pressure stream in the tubes will require fewer high-pressure components

PRESSURE DROP For the same pressure drop, higher heat-transfer coefficients are obtained on the tubeside;

A fluid with a low allowable pressure drop should generally be placed inside the tubes

VISCOSITY Higher heat-transfer rates are ordinarily obtained by placing a viscous fluid on the shell side

FLOWRATE The lower flowrate fluid on the shellside results in a more economical design. Turbulence exists on the shellside at much lower velocities than within the tubes.

CONSIDERATIONS BY THE DESIGNER

Evaluate the many variables in establishing the following characteristics of the heat exchanger:

1 Tube O.D. and length 8 Actual Pressure Drops

2 Tube Pitch 9 Shell Size

3 Number of Tube Passes 10 Fluid Distribution at the Inlet and Outlet of the Shell

4 Number of Shell Passes 11 Tube-to-tubesheet Attachement

5 Number of Baffles and Baffle Type 12 Ease of Maintenance

6 Number of Shells 13 Vibration, operating differential-expansion between shell and tubes, and other potential problem areas.

TUBE SIZE AND LENGTH

* HE designs with small-diameter tubes (5/8-in to 1-in O.D.) are more economical than designs with larger tubes, because the smaller tubes provide for a more compact unit.* 5/8-in to 1-in O.D. tubes are the smallest considered for process HE, but there are some applications where smaller tubes may be better.

SHELL BAFFLING

Baffles are used to direct the shellside fluid through a prescribed path, and to support the tubeswithin the bundle. Baffles are called tube supports, if this is their primary purpose. The threemost common baffle types:

SEGMENTAL BAFFLES

Provides a high degree of turbulance and good heat transfer because it directs the fluid over the tubes primarily in cross-flow;

Unless the shellside fluid is being condensed:

A horizontal baffle cut should be used to reduce accumulations of deposits at the bottom of the shell and to prevent stratification of the shellside fluid;

A vertical baffle cut is required for horizontal condensers to allow the condensate to flow freely without covering or flooding an excessive amount of tubes

Baffle cuts for segmental baffles are expressed as percentage values of the diameter or net free area. A 20%-diameter cut is considered optimum because it permits the highest heat transfer for a given pressure drop

For large HE with high flowrates, it is often more economical to omit tubes in the baffle-window area. This provides for better cross-flow, while providing support for all tubes at every baffle. The ‘no-tubes-in-the-window’ baffle design is often necessary to prevent flow-induced tube vibration.

SHELL BAFFLING (contunied …..)

MULTISEGMENTAL BAFFLES

Characterized by large open areas, this type can be used to reduce baffle spacing or to reduce cross-flow because of pressure-drop limitations

Certain types of baffles allow the fluid to flow nearly parallel to the tubes, offering a much lower pressure drop

LONGITUDINAL BAFFLES

Provides for multipass or split-flow, shellside-flow patterns

It can be welded to the shell, or sealed against it by a flex seal or other device

Sealing of the long baffle against the shell by means other than welding can be done when the pressure drop is relatively low on the shellside (less than 12 psi)

NUMBER OF PASSES ON TUBESIDE AND SHELLSIDE

The number of tubeside or shellside passes provided in the design of an optimum HEdepends in operating temperatures, allowable pressure drops, fluid velocities, relative cost,and the experience of the designer.

One or more passes can be used on the tubeside; multiple passes are used to increase velocity and the heat-transfer rate.

In selecting the number of tubeside passes, must limit the velocity to maintain an allowable pressure drop and to avoid erosion of the tube material

The number of passes on the shellside or the configuration of the shell (one pass, two passes, split flow, divided flow, etc) is primarily a function of the operatingtemperatures, flowrates and allowable pressure drop

In as much as the number of shell or tube side passes can affect the value of the correctedlog-mean-temperature difference, the size and cost of the HE are closely related to theselection of the flow configurations

SHELL BAFFLING

Baffles are used to direct the shellside fluid through a prescribed path, and to support the tubeswithin the bundle. Baffles are called tube supports, if this is their primary purpose. The threemost common baffle types:

SEGMENTAL BAFFLES

Provides a high degree of turbulance and good heat transfer because it directs the fluid over the tubes primarily in cross-flow;

Unless the shellside fluid is being condensed:

A horizontal baffle cut should be used to reduce accumulations of deposits at the bottom of the shell and to prevent stratification of the shellside fluid;

A vertical baffle cut is required for horizontal condensers to allow the condensate to flow freely without covering or flooding an excessive amount of tubes

Baffle cuts for segmental baffles are expressed as percentage values of the diameter or net free area. A 20%-diameter cut is considered optimum because it permits the highest heat transfer for a given pressure drop

For large HE with high flowrates, it is often more economical to omit tubes in the baffle-window area. This provides for better cross-flow, while providing support for all tubes at every baffle. The ‘no-tubes-in-the-window’ baffle design is often necessary to prevent flow-induced tube vibration.

MULTISEGMENTAL BAFFLES

Characterized by large open areas, this type can be used to reduce baffle spacing or to reduce cross-flow because of pressure-drop limitations

Certain types of baffles allow the fluid to flow nearly parallel to the tubes, offering a much lower pressure drop

LONGITUDINAL BAFFLES

Provides for multipass or split-flow, shellside-flow patterns

It can be welded to the shell, or sealed against it by a flex seal or other device

Sealing of the long baffle against the shell by means other than welding can be done when the pressure drop is relatively low on the shellside (less than 12 psi)
