Small issue with ASPEN heat exchanger simulation
Thread Content
I have a small question for everyone: In ASPEN heat exchanger simulations, there is an option called \"shell to bundle clearance\". What does this mean?
Gap between shell and tube bundle. A typical design value ranges from 10 to 60 mm.
This issue was also observed during use; could it be the gap between the diameter of the piping constraint circle and the inner wall of the shell? Because I entered the distance from the outermost pipe in the actual piping layout to the inner wall of the casing, the program gave an error saying it was too large
Same question: What is this value usually? Is it usually set by the program itself, unless there are special requirements?
For the gap between the shell and the tube bundle, it is generally not necessary to enter any value
Gap between the inner diameter of the shell and the outer diameter of the outermost tube bundle
