How can a one-way water cooling system be modified into a two-way heat exchanger (with cooling water flowing in the tube side and desalinated water flowing in the shell side)? Thank you.

How can a one-way water cooling system be modified into a two-way heat exchanger (with cooling water flowing in the tube side and desalinated water flowing in the shell side)? Thank you.
Is the heat exchanger fixed-tubeplate? Just change the supervisor?
Convert to round-trip? Should it be changed to a double-shell pass or a double-tube pass?
Fixed tube sheet: It is not possible to change it to a double-shell design; instead, a partition can be added inside the tube box to create a double-tube passage design； Floating-head type: Modifying it to a double-pass configuration is complex; a partition plate can be added inside the tube box of this double-pass design ； It can also be directly replaced with a U-shaped tube bundle
Someone upstairs, how do I add the partition?

It is not stated that double-pass design cannot be used in fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers; it is possible to use such a design.
Cut off the small floating head partition (if any); for the main tank, one horizontal partition is sufficient.
It is possible. But if it’s a reform, it’s better to create something new.
The modification only affects the pipe side, but it is difficult to measure the accuracy of the partition.
