Fixed-tube-sheet heat exchanger
Thread Content
There is currently a soda water heat exchanger with the model number: BEM1200-1.47/0.98/500/5.4/32-2I. As can be seen from this model number, it is a fixed-tube-sheet type heat exchanger, with a heat exchange area of 500 m2； The design pressure of the pipeline system is 1.47 ； The design pressure for the shell side is 0.98. So that means the steam flows through the tube side, and the water flows through the shell side, right? Can the design temperatures for the tube side and shell side be determined based on this model?
The information provided by the poster does not yet allow confirmation of the interface and temperature. Please refer to the PI&D drawings or the ISOMETRIC drawings; the data sheet for the heat exchanger can also provide relevant information. Of course, it will be clearer if the calculation documents are available. This post was last edited by Albertlu on 2009-2-24 at 11:11
Generally, steam flows on the shell side while water flows on the tube side, making cleaning easier as the steam is clean.
