Question: Is the outlet nozzle on the tube side of the reboiler aligned along the direction of the tubes or perpendicular to it?

Hello, seniors! As the title indicates: is the outlet nozzle on the tube side of the reboiler aligned along the direction of the tubes or perpendicular to it? What determines the direction selection? As shown in the figure. Thank you to all the seniors.
Lacking experience in this area, I personally believe that resistance is lower along the direction of the pipe, while a direction perpendicular to the pipe is more conducive to gas-liquid separation; the installation direction should be determined based on the adjacent equipment at the site
I know that both are possible, but I’m not sure how to choose
Everything I saw in the factory was perpendicular to the direction of the pipes
It depends on the installation distance; a value of 1 is preferred when the installation distance can be kept large, while 2 should be chosen if the installation distance needs to be reduced
Thank you to all the seniors! Are there any other reasons to choose? {:1_90:}
I still see both types; I really haven’t studied this before. Personally, I think it has something to do with choosing different types of tube boxes!
The outlet tube is perpendicular to the tube bundle; the reboiler and tower have a low installation height and low resistance, resulting in a relatively smaller increase in boiling point. Their cost is also lower compared to those where the outlet tube is aligned with the tube bundle. Space in fine chemical industries is relatively limited, so a layout perpendicular to the tube bundles is generally chosen.
I think it should be fine; we still need to calculate the pipe resistance and meet the process requirements
