Shell and tube heat exchanger
Thread Content
Heroes! In the design of shell-and-tube water coolers, are there any requirements regarding the temperature of the medium to be cooled? I remember that it should not exceed 130°C, but I can’t find any evidence for this.
Why can’t it be greater than 130 degrees? Just do a good job on the expansion design
There’s no such requirement; as long as the material and strength of the equipment meet the specifications, it can be used even at higher temperatures. I once built a horizontal steam boiler in which the high-temperature flue gas flowed through the tube side while water flowed through the shell side; the designed temperature for the flue gas was 1000°C, and it operated just fine.
