Calculation of tube box flanges in fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers
Thread Content
In the calculation of fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers, when there are split plates, it is necessary to enter the area of these split plates in order to account for the reaction force exerted by the gaskets associated with them. Is it mandatory to enter this value? What will be the consequences if nothing is entered?
This area involves the pre-tensioning force and reaction forces of the gaskets during pre-tensioning and operation; it directly affects the flange thickness as well as the torque acting on the tube sheet. The new SW6 was developed using TEMA software
