Why are the temperatures of the outlet head and the pipelines of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger different?
Thread Content
The temperature of the outlet head of the tube heat exchanger is 40°C; a pipeline is connected to the outlet, and after passing through a elbow, the temperature of both the pipeline and the fluid rises to 88°C? I need help explaining this phenomenon. The outlet pipeline is about one meter long, followed by a elbow. The temperature rises after the elbow!
Is it the same journey? Or maybe there’s something wrong with the thermometer
It depends on the internal structure of your heat exchanger; if this phenomenon is new, it indicates whether there is scaling or leakage. If you are just starting to work with on-site equipment, first, it is necessary to understand its internal structure; however, it is best to follow the explanations provided by the on-site technicians and experts.
