Are tear holes needed in the vertical partition plates of multi-pass heat exchangers?
Thread Content
In addition to draining the medium, the function of the stage partitions is also to balance pressure; then, when there are multiple stages, do vertical stage partitions need to have holes in them?
The vertical split diaphragm in multi-tube heat exchangers serves to balance pressures and discharge the medium. If the tear holes are not opened, it may lead to the accumulation of fluid in the pipes, affecting the heat exchange efficiency and even causing damage to the equipment. Therefore, when designing vertical partition plates, it is necessary to consider whether holes need to be made based on the actual conditions, in order to ensure the proper operation of the heat exchanger. .
