Regarding the support design for vertical fixed-tube-sheet heat exchangers: which type provides better stress distribution?
Ear-type supports are generally used; for larger sizes, skirt supports can also be employed!
For smaller sizes, we use channel steel as supports; for slightly larger sizes, we use ear-type supports; and for even larger sizes, we use skirt supports.
