For a vertical heat exchanger like this that uses a conical head, how should the data for the tube box be entered?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: when a conical head is used for the tube box of a fixed-tube-sheet heat exchanger like this, how should the data related to the front tube box head in SW6 be entered, or rather, how should it be calculated?
In the fixed tube sheet calculation program, only the data of the tube box shell (the straight edge section at the larger end of the inclined conical shell) is entered; the head is not calculated, and the inclined conical shell head is calculated separately using a component-specific calculation program. The above are merely personal opinions; please feel free to point out any errors.
Thank you, I think you’re right!
