The arrangement pattern and purpose of the heat exchanger tube bundle. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Thread Content
The tube bundles of heat exchangers can be arranged in 60-degree, 45-degree, 90-degree, or concentric circles patterns. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these arrangements? Why is there such a different layout?
Pages 17-18 of GB/T151-2014 list the advantages and disadvantages; when should you use which format?
When cleaning is required between the tubes, they are arranged in a square pattern; otherwise, they are generally arranged in an equilateral triangle pattern.
1. Triangular piping: Advantages include the ability to arrange many pipes; disadvantages are that it is difficult to clean, so it is often used for cleaning media. 2. Square piping: Its advantages and disadvantages are the opposite of those of triangular piping. 3. The corner triangle and corner square are designed based on the flow direction of the medium, with the aim of allowing greater contact between the medium and the heat pipes in the tube, thereby avoiding straight-through flow.
