Do U-tube heat exchangers have heat exchange tubes that are 4.5 meters long?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, I would like to know whether it is possible to use a U-tube heat exchanger with a tube length of 4.5 meters. I’ve seen that the standard lengths are 3 meters and 6 meters only; is a 4.5-meter length feasible?
Sure, the standard values are only recommendations; the length of the heat exchange tubes can be customized, so there’s no need to worry about that.
We can customize it to any length; the longest ones can reach over 30 meters, and they can also be made in a U-shaped format.
Thank you, moderator {:1_90:}
It is possible; 4.5m heat exchange tubes are also quite common.
Heat exchangers are non-standard equipment, and a length of 4.555 meters is also feasible: lol
There is no limit on the length of the heat exchange tubes; if long tubes are not available, they can be connected as long as the required length is achieved.
This type of heat exchanger is rather wasteful in terms of space usage.
