Questions regarding heat exchangers
Thread Content
What are the advantages and disadvantages of horizontal and vertical heat exchangers? ?
Vertical-mounted tube-side thermosyphon reboilers have been seen; in other cases, it’s probably the effect of gravity
Do vertically installed heat exchangers have a higher heat transfer coefficient? Because the condensate is present more evenly on the tube walls, whereas in horizontally installed tubes the condensate distribution on the wall is uneven, making it difficult to control the heat transfer coefficient
According to the process requirements, it also depends on the conditions of the workshop space! Each has its own advantages!
Looking forward to experts answering this question.
