Basic Heat Exchanger Equation
The general relation reflects the heat transfer across a surface is:
Q = U A (LMTD)
Where,
Q M h ( H hi H ho ) M c ( H co H ci )

Shell
Dimensions
Orientation
• Horizontal in General
• Limited space or certain process requirements – Vertical Orientation
• For thermo siphon re-boilers, vertical orientation is preferred to
horizontal orientation, even if the heating medium is fouling.

Tubes
• The smallest tube diameter generally produces the most heat transfer
area per unit volume in a given shell and most efficient heat transfer.
• 19.15 mm tubes are commonly used for clean services.
• For very clean services, 15.875 mm tubes are sometimes used.
• For gases, boiling, condensing or two phase flow 19.05 mm to 31.75 mm
tube ODs are required.
• For vertical tube side vacuum falling film evaporators tubes with outside
diameter upto 2 inches are used.

Selection of Tube

Tube sheets
• Tubes are held on both the ends called tube sheets.
• The tube sheet thickness varies from 1 inches (25 mm) for low pressure
and low shell diameter applications up to over 12 in. (300 mm) in high
pressure and large shell diameters.

Tube to tubesheet joint
• Tubes are expanded into grooves in tube sheet or welded to them.
• Welded joints are preferred in sever conditions like high pressures (80
kg/cm2 g) or when handling toxic or inflammable fluids where leakage
are not permitted.

Tube Layout Pattern

Tube-side Passes
Multiple passes are used to
• Increase tube-side velocity and taking maximum advantage of
available pressure drop
• Reduce overall length
• Allow U-tube/floating head designs

Baffles
• Baffles provide the framework to support and secure the tubes and
prevent vibration
• Baffles redirect the shell side flow across the tube bundle

Impingement Plate
Purpose:
To protect the uppermost tubes located just below the shell-side inlet nozzle against
direct impingement.
[email protected]
Standard Dimensions for
impingement plate
•Minimum height under nozzle (Hmin) = D/4,
•Minimum width of the impingement plate (Wmin) = D + 50 mm,
•Length of the impingement plate L = D + (50 ~ 70 mm), where D is the nozzle
inside diameter.

The figure below shows the height under nozzle measurement for different cases
Nozzle
• Inlet and outlet nozzles are sized for pressure drop and velocity
considerations.
• The total nozzle pressure drop for either shell side or tube side
should not exceed about 25% of total.
• Nozzle pressure drop is dominating in case of condensers (due to
pressure recovery in condensers).
• For liquid flow nozzle rhoV2 should be limited to 3000 kg/m s2.
• For gas flow, nozzle velocity should be less than 20% of acoustic
velocity.
• Thermo wells, pressure indicator connections, safety and relief
valves, product drains, vents, block valve are other miscellaneous
nozzles.
[email protected]
Nozzle Locations
• Nozzle orientation should be decided in consideration of process
requirements, mechanical construction and requirements from plot plan.
• Following samples can be used as a good reference.
