Strengthening of tubular graphite heat exchangers
Thread Content
Simply put, graphite tubes are inserted between the graphite plates, creating a barrier-like structure. Users have pointed out that the device may experience torsional stress when placed inside a reactor; could experts provide some suggestions regarding reinforcement solutions? The equipment height is 1.6M.
Attached are the drawings; is it an internal heater in the kettle?
I’m not quite sure what direction the torsional stress goes Radial, axial? Simply strengthening the graphite tube can be achieved by winding it with carbon fiber or increasing the wall thickness of the tube.
