What is the minimum diameter of a heat exchanger for which baffle plates are not necessary?
Our DN300, DN400 heat exchangers, 3 meters in length, all come with baffle plates.
Do I need dn200 with a length of 0.8 meters?
Whether to use baffle plates depends on the heat exchange efficiency; it cannot be omitted just because it’s small – calculations are necessary
It must be determined based on process calculations, and it is necessary to check whether it exceeds the maximum unsupported span.
If the tube train is under tension, can the maximum unsupported span be ignored?
The diameter seems to have little impact on the baffles; their main function is likely to improve heat exchange efficiency and secure the tubes, so it is more related to the length of the heat exchanger.

Are these two related? It’s not entirely clear; the equipment industry has design reference standards such as GB/T151-2014, unless there is prior experience with similar equipment.
