What does it mean that the lateral position of the air-cooled tube bundle on the frame allows for a movement of at least 6 mm on each side, or 12 mm on one side?

What is the purpose of allowing the horizontal position of the air-cooled tube bundle on the frame to move by at least 6 mm on each side, or 12 mm on one side?
If it swells, it needs to be moved; otherwise the tube bundle will deform
On our side, one end is fixed while the other is movable; the remaining amount is there to ensure that the floating tube box can move freely during operation, thereby compensating for the thermal expansion and contraction of the finned tubes.
It is set taking into account the amount of expansion of the process medium after entering the air cooler.
Expansion amount due to temperature changes in steel pipes
Depending on temperature changes, the expansion amount of the facility changes as well
