When calculating the split diaphragm for an SW6 heat exchanger, what is the pressure difference on both sides of the split diaphragm? How to calculate

The pressure difference should be determined by the process or through calculation

Generally, this is specified based on the processing parameters; if no such information is given, writing 0.02 MPa is usually fine
In terms of process calculations, a pressure drop of no more than 50 kPa is generally required; it depends on the design of the heat exchanger
In process calculations, it is generally required that the pressure drop not exceed 0.05 MPa; being more conservative,
