Calculation of heat exchanger expansion joints
Thread Content
The last edit to this post was made by zjq1962 on 2018-10-27 at 09:07. As shown in the attached diagram, it is also common to add an additional tube section in the middle of the two expansion joints; according to the calculation documents, the length of the expansion joint should still be entered as that of a standard expansion joint. Let’s discuss whether there is any problem with such a calculation. Should I still enter L from the diagram?
Please ask the moderator to move this post to the heat exchanger section
Hey, how was the issue with that expansion joint resolved in the end? I’m hoping to get an answer, thanks
For cases like yours, you should calculate it using the straight-edge circumferential butt single-layer method
