HTRI warning messages
Thread Content
Could you help me understand the warning message from HTRI: “The estimated tube count for this shell is 0. A large variation from the expected tube count may indicate that the program has used different clearances (such as bundle-to-shell clearance and heights-under-nozzles) than those expected. Although the specified number of tubes has been used to calculate the available heat transfer area, discrepancies in exchanger clearances can result in inaccurate pressure drop and heat transfer calculations.” How can this issue be resolved?
Was it resolved later? Does this have an impact? ?
Same question: I’ve also seen this message. What’s the reason, and how can I fix it?
Is this problem caused by the fact that the heat exchanger specified in the manual has a different number of tubes than the default value for the system?
