Advantages and disadvantages of floating-head heat exchangers
Thread Content
Advantages: (1) The tube bundle can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the tubes and shell side； (2) The temperature difference between media is unrestricted ； (3) It can operate under high temperature and high pressure, with typical temperatures of up to 450 degrees and pressures of up to 6.4 megapascals ； (4) Can be used in situations with severe scaling ； (5) It can be used in situations where the pipe side is prone to corrosion. Disadvantages: (1) Small floating heads are prone to internal leakage ； (2) High consumption of metal materials, with costs 20% higher ； (3) Complex structure
Floating heads also have a drawback: they are not easy to clean； Fewer pipe routines
