FAQ's of Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger:
Q: How do you select the appropriate tube and shell material for a shell and tube heat exchanger?
A: Material selection depends on the process fluids and operating conditions. Stainless steel, copper, admiralty brass, and mild steel are available. For corrosive environments or high hygiene demands, stainless steel is preferred, while copper and brass suit standard heating or cooling processes.
Q: What are the standard and custom options for shell and tube dimensions?
A: Tubing is available in sizes from 12 mm to 25 mm in diameter, and shell diameters can be customized from 150 mm to 2000 mm. Length, width, and height are also tailored to meet your capacity and layout requirements.
Q: When should a horizontal versus vertical mounting type be chosen?
A: The choice depends on space availability, process flow, and ease of maintenance. Horizontal mounting is more common for large capacity or easier accessibility, while vertical is suitable where floor area is limited or for specific flow designs.
Q: Where are these heat exchangers typically installed?
A: They are widely used in industrial plants, chemical processing units, power stations, and manufacturing facilities across India and globally. Their adaptability and compliance with international standards make them suitable for various industries.
Q: What is the process for routine maintenance and tube cleaning?
A: Maintenance is straightforward; tube bundles are easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, or replacement. Regular maintenance involves periodic cleaning to prevent fouling and ensure optimal heat transfer efficiency.
Q: How does the heat exchanger provide high heat transfer efficiency?
A: The shell and tube design maximizes surface area exposure between fluids, supported by precise engineering to optimize flow paths. Customizable tube bundles and advanced materials further enhance efficiency for both heating and cooling processes.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this type of heat exchanger?
A: Key advantages include robust construction, high corrosion resistance, customizable configurations, efficient heat transfer, and minimal maintenance requirements. These features ensure longevity and reliable performance in demanding industrial conditions.
