What is the purpose of the through-holes in the partition between the heat exchanger and the separator?
Thread Content
There is a connection hole at the bottom of the inlet and outlet chambers of the floating-head heat exchanger, as well as in the oil and water separation device’s oil chamber and water chamber partitions. Ideally, these areas should be completely separated from each other; I’m not sure what purpose this connection hole serves. Can anyone explain it?
What the original poster is referring to should be called a “tear hole”; it serves to prevent any material from remaining after production stops and the material is removed.
That statement seems to make some sense
But what’s puzzling is, doesn’t this connection hole affect oil-water separation or the mixing of the media in the heat exchanger tubes during normal operation?
The difference between high flow and low flow.
