I would like to ask about the flow direction of the material and the heating medium within the plug-type graphite heat exchanger
Thread Content
I have been working with tubular graphite heat exchangers up to now; I am aware of the concepts of the inner and outer fluid paths. However, I am not clear about the flow direction of the material and the heating medium in porous-block graphite heat exchangers. I don’t understand how these types of heat exchangers achieve heat exchange. I would appreciate some guidance from those who know more!
Vertical holes are used for corrosive media, while horizontal holes are used for non-corrosive media.
I’m not really sure about this. I’ll go check it for you‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’
Have you found it? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Trouble, thank you!
As mentioned on the second floor, generally, corrosive media flow through vertical holes, while non-corrosive media flow through horizontal holes. Since vertical holes allow material to enter and exit from both sides, they function as the shell side; since the shell in such cases does not need to be corrosion-resistant, this reduces manufacturing costs； The vertical holes, that is, from high to low, correspond to the tube side, making it more convenient to use graphite blocks for corrosion protection.
Corrosive medium flows through the vertical holes, while cooling water flows through the horizontal ones
