7- GENERAL CONSTRUCTION FEATURES OF TEMA STANDARD HEAT EXCHANGERS
1. HORIZONTAL UNITS :
For units with removable tube bundles, supports should be designed to withstand a pulling force equal to 1-1/2 times the
weight of the tube bundle. For purposes of support design, forces from external nozzle loadings, wind and seismic events are
assumed to be negligible unless the purchaser specifically details the requirements. When these additional loads and forces
are required to be considered, the combinations need not be assumed to occur simultaneously.
2. VERTICAL UNITS
Vertical units are to be provided with supports adequate to meet design requirements. The supports may be of the lug,
annular ring, leg or skirt type.
3. LIFTING DEVICES
Channels, bonnets, and covers which weigh over 60 Ibs. (27.2 Kg) are to be provided with lifting lugs,
rings or tapped holes for eyebolts. Unless otherwise specified, these lifting devices are designed to
lift only the component to which they are directly attached. Lugs for lifting the complete unit are not normally provided. When
lifting lugs or trunnions are required by the purchaser to lift the complete unit, the device must be adequately designed.
4. WIND & SEISMIC DESIGN

For wind and seismic forces to be considered in the design of a heat exchanger, the purchaser must
specify in the inquiry the design requirements.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE
SECTION 4 : INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
1. PERFORMANCE OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
• PERFORMANCE FAILURES
The failure of heat exchanger equipment to perform satisfactorily may be caused by one or
more factors, such as:
(1) Excessive fouling.

(2) Air or gas binding resulting from improper piping installation or lack of suitable vents.
(3) Operating conditions differing from design conditions.
(4) Maldistribution of flow in the unit.
(5) Excessive clearances between the baffles and shell and/or tubes, due to corrosion.
(6) Improper thermal design.
SECTION 4 : INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
2. INSTALLATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
1. HEAT EXCHANGER SETTINGS

• CLEARANCE FOR DISMANTLING
• For straight tube/ Fixed tube / U tube exchangers fitted with removable bundles, provide sufficient clearance at the
stationary head end to permit removal of the bundle from the shell and provide adequate space beyond the rear head to
permit removal of the shell cover and/or floating head cover.
• FOUNDATIONS
Foundations must be adequate so that exchangers will not settle and impose excessive strains on the exchanger.
• FOUNDATION BOLTS
Foundation bolts should be loosened at one end of the unit to allow free expansion of shells Slotted holes in supports are
provided for this purpose.
• LEVELING
Exchangers must be set level and square so that pipe connections may be made without forcing.
2. CLEANLINESS PROVISIONS
• CONNECTION PROTECTORS
All exchanger openings should be inspected for foreign material. Protective plugs and covers
should not be removed until just prior to installation.
• DIRT REMOVAL
The entire system should be clean before starting operation. Under some conditions, the use of strainers in the piping
may be required.

SECTION 6
FLOW INDUCED VIBRATION

SECTION 6 : FLOW INDUCED VIBRATION
SCOPE
• Fluid flow, inter-related with heat exchanger geometry can cause heat exchanger tubes to vibrate.
VIBRATION DAMAGE PATTERNS
1. COLLISION DAMAGE
Impact of the tubes against each other or against the vessel wall, due to large amplitudes of the vibrating
tube, can result in failure.
2. BAFFLE DAMAGE
When large fluid forces are present, the tube can impact the baffle hole causing thinning of the tube wall in
a circumferential, uneven manner, usually the width of the baffle thickness. Continuous thinning over a
period of time results in tube failure.
3. TUBESHEET CLAMPING EFFECT
Tubes may be expanded into the tube sheet to minimize the crevice between the outer tube wall and the
tube sheet hole. The natural frequency of the tube span adjacent to the tube sheet is increased by the
clamping effect. However, the stresses due to any lateral deflection of the tube are also maximum at the
location where the tube emerges from the tube sheet, contributing to possible tube breakage.
4. MATERIAL DEFECT PROPAGATION
Flaws contained within the material and strategically oriented with respect to the stress field, can readily
propagate and actuate tube failure. Corrosion and erosion can add to such failure mechanisms.
5. ACOUSTIC VIBRATION
Acoustic resonance is due to gas column oscillation creates an acoustic vibration of a standing wave type.
When the acoustic resonant frequency approaches the tube natural frequency, any tendency toward tube
vibration will be accentuated with possible tube failure.

DIMENSIONLESS NUMBERS
1. STROUHAL NUMBER
Shedding of vortices from isolated tubes in a fluid medium is correlated by the Strouhal Number. which is
given by:
where
• s= fs do /12V
• f s = Vortex shedding frequency, cycles/sec
• V = Cross-flow velocity of the fluid relative to the tube, ft/sec
• do = Outside dia
1. FLUID ELASTIC PARAMETER
A dimensionless parameter used in the correlations to predict flow induced vibration is given by:
• X= 144woxdawaT\ Po do2 meter of tube, inches
• Wo = Effective weight of the tube per unit length, defined in Paragraph V-7.1, Ib/tt
• 6 T = Logarithmic decrement in the tube unsupported span (see Paragraph V-8)
• Po = Density of the shell side fluid at its local bulk temperature, Ib/tt 3
• do = Outside diameter of tube, inches
• NATURAL FREQUENCY
• Most heat exchangers have multiple baffle supports and varied individual unsupported
spans. Calculation of the natural frequency of the heat exchanger tube is an essential step
in estimating its potential for flow induced vibration failure. The current state-of-the-art flow
induced vibration correlations are not sophisticated enough to warrant treating the multi-
span tube vibration problem (or mode shapes other than the fundamental) in one
comprehensive analysis. Therefore, the potential for vibration is evaluated for each
individual unsupported span, with the velocity and natural frequency considered being that
of the unsupported span under examination
• fn= 10.838-AC/ L 2 [EI/Wo] ½ or f n= 68.06Cu/r 2 [EI/Wo] ½

(Straight tube) (U-tube)
• A =Tube axial stress multiplier. See Paragraph V-6

ESTIMATE OF CRITICAL FLOW VELOCITY

The critical flow velocity, V c , for a tube span is the minimum cross-flow velocity
at which that span may vibrate with unacceptably large amplitudes. The critical
flow velocity for tube spans in the window, overlap, inlet and outlet regions, U-
bends, and all atypical locations should be calculated. The critical velocity, V c,is
defined by:
V c = D fn do /12
where
• D = Value obtained from Table V-10.1
• f n = Fundamental natural frequency, cycles/sec (see Paragraph V-5.3)
• d 0 = Outside diameter of tube, inches
The user should ensure that the reference cross flow velocity V, at every location, is
less than V c for that location.

• DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1. TUBE DIAMETER
Use of the largest reasonable tube diameter consistent with practical thermal and hydraulic design
economics is desirable. Larger diameters increase the moment of inertia, thereby effectively increasing the
stiffness of the tube for a given length.
2. UNSUPPORTED TUBE SPAN

The unsupported tube span is the most significant factor affecting induced vibrations. The shorter the tube
span, the greater its resistance to vibration.
3. ENTRANCE/EXIT AREAS
Entrance and exit areas are generally recognized to be particularly susceptible to damage in vibration
prone exchangers .Consideration may be given to the use of partial supports to reduce unsupported tube
spans in the entrance/exit regions.
4. U-BEND REGIONS
Possibility of U-bends to damaging vibration may be reduced by optimum location of adjacent baffles in the
straight tube legs and/or use of a special bend support device.
5. TUBING MATERIAL AND THICKNESS

Tube metallurgy and wall thickness also affect the damping characteristic of the tube.
6. BAFFLE THICKNESS AND TUBE HOLE SIZE
Increasing the baffle thickness and reducing the tube-to-baffle hole clearance increases the system
damping
7. OMISSION OF TUBES
Omission of tubes at predetermined critical locations within the bundle may be employed to reduce
vibration potential. For instance, tubes located on baffle cut lines sometimes experience excessive damage
in vibration prone units; therefore, selective removal of tubes along baffle cut lines may be advantageous.
8. TUBE AXIAL LOADING

The heat exchanger designer must recognize the potential adverse impact on vibration by compressive
axial loading of tubes due to pressure and/or temperature conditions. The use of an expansion joint in such
cases may result in reduction of the tube compressive stress
9. TUBE PITCH
Larger pitch-to-tube diameter ratios provide increased ligament areas which result in a reduced crossflow
velocity for a given unsupported tube span, or a reduced unsupported tube span for a given crossflow
velocity. The increased tube to tube spacing reduces the likelihood of mid-span collision damage

TYPES OF FOULING
1. Precipitation fouling
2. Particulate fouling
3. Chemical reaction fouling
4. Corrosion fouling
5. Biological fouling
PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Typical physical factors influencing the determination of fouling resistances are:
• Fluid properties and the propensity for fouling
• Heat exchanger geometry and orientation
• Surface and fluid bulk temperatures
• Local fluid velocities
• Heat transfer process
• Fluid treatment
• Cathodic protection
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
• Typical economic factors influencing the determination of appropriate fouling resistances are:
• Frequency and amount of cleaning costs
• Maintenance costs
• Operating and production costs
• Longer periods of time on stream
• Fluid pumping costs
• Depreciation rates
• Tax rates
• Initial cost and variation with size
• Shut down costs
• Out-of-service costs
FLUID TEMPERATURE RELATIONS

LOGARITHMIC MEAN TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
• For cases of true countercurrent or cocurrent flow, the logarithmic mean
temperature difference should be used if the following conditions substantially
apply:
1. Constant overall heat transfer coefficient

2. Complete mixing within any shell cross pass or tube pass
3. The number of cross baffles is large
4. Constant flow rate and specific heat
5. Enthalpy is a linear function of temperature
6. Equal surface in each shell pass or tube pass
7. Negligible heat loss to surroundings or internally between passes
• CORRECTION FOR MULTIPASS FLOW

• In multipass heat exchangers, where there is a combination of cocurrent and
countercurrent flow in alternate passes, the mean temperature difference is less than the
logarithmic mean calculated for countercurrent flow and greater than that based on
cocurrent flow. The correct mean temperature difference may be evaluated as the product
of the logarithmic mean for countercurrent flow and an
• LMTD correction factor, F.
• TEMPERATURE EFFECTIVENESS
• The temperature effectiveness of a heat exchanger is customarily defined as the ratio of
the temperature change of the tube side stream to the difference between the two fluid
inlet temperatures, thus:
• p= (t 2 -t l ) / (TI-t l )
• where P is the effectiveness
• SHELL MEAN METAL TEMPERATURE

• TUBE MEAN METAL TEMPERATURE
• TUBESHEET MEAN METAL TEMPERATURE
• ESTIMATION OF SHELL AND TUBE FLUID AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
• The differential thermal growth between the shell and tubes is determined as follows:
• where
• Δ L = L t (a s [T M - 70] - aT [t M - 70])
• Δ L = Differential thermal growth between the shell and tubes, inches
• L t = Tube length, face-to-face of tubesheets, inches
• as = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the shell, inches/inch/oF (see Table 0-11)
• aT = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the tubes, inches/inch/oF (see Table 0-11)
• t M = Tube mean metal temperature, 0 F
• TM = Shell mean metal temperature, 0 F
