Does a heat exchanger with a tube side volume of 0.2 m3, a shell side volume of 0.49 m3, and an operating pressure of 0.3 fall under the category of pressure vessels?
Thread Content
The heat exchanger has a tube side volume of 0.2 m3 and a shell side volume of 0.49 m3. The operating pressure is 0.3 MPa, while the design pressure is 0.4 MPa. The fluid used is water. Does this heat exchanger qualify as a pressure vessel?
Water is on both sides of the medium; one side has hot water at 60 degrees, while the water in the shell side circulates at a temperature below 38 degrees

It is sufficient to design and manufacture in accordance with GB/T150; no classification is required
According to the pressure vessel design specifications, it won’t fit in there
Don’t all of these fall under pressure vessels according to the “Catalogue of Special Equipment”?
