In what cases should the gaps in the baffle plates of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger be arranged vertically left and right?
When the fluid in the shell side of horizontal heat exchangers, condensers, and reboilers is a mixture of gas and liquid or contains solid particles, the gaps in the baffle plates should be arranged vertically left and right, with liquid inlets provided at the lowest point of the baffle plates.
When the fluid in the shell side of horizontal heat exchangers, condensers, and reboilers is a mixture of gas and liquid or contains solid particles, the gaps in the baffle plates should be arranged vertically left and right, with liquid inlets provided at the lowest point of the baffle plates.
When the medium in the shell is a gas-liquid two-phase mixture, or when the liquid contains a small amount of solids, the baffle plates should be arranged vertically left and right, with a liquid inlet provided at the lowest point of the baffle plates.
When the fluid in the shell side of horizontal heat exchangers, condensers, and reboilers is a mixture of gas and liquid or contains solid particles, the gaps in the baffle plates should be arranged vertically left and right, with liquid inlets provided at the lowest point of the baffle plates.
Clause 6.8.2.4.2 of GB/T151-2014 stipulates that in horizontal heat exchangers, condensers, and reboilers, when the medium in the shell side is in a gas-liquid mixture or contains solid particles, the gaps in the baffle plates should be arranged vertically, left to right.
When there is a gas-liquid co-phase or solids present in the liquid medium.
Thank you to the original poster for sharing; I need to learn* this as well
