Heat exchanger design
Design Temperature:
Usually 10°C higher than the maximum temperature of any
component in the heat exchanger .
Exm. Fluid temperature is near to 85°C not beyond this and
therefore we are taking 95°C as design temperature which is
10°C greater than maximum working temperature.
Design Pressure:
Generally design pressure is 5% greater than the maximum
allowable working pressure by gauge .
Maximum Allowable Stress Value:
The maximum allowable stress values for different materials can
be determined by referring Subpart 1 of ASME Section II, Part D.
Material is selected as per the fluid temperature flowing
inside exchanger.

Design components
The major mechanical design components of shell and tube
heat exchangers are:
• shell
•shell cover
•tube-sheet thickness,
• flanges,
•nozzles,
•gaskets,
•supports.
Shell diameter and thickness.
The nominal diameter (outside diameter) is rounded to the
nearest in the case of cylindrical pipe shell in mm:
159, 219, 267, 324, 368, 419, 457, 508,
558.8, 609.6, 660.4, 711.2, 762, 812.8, 863.6, 914.4 ,

TEMA HEAT EXCHANGER
LAYOUT DESIGNATION
E-Type shell- one pass shell
F-Type shell
two passes being separated by a
longitudinal baffle.
G-Type shell
the shell side pressure drop is small.
This is achieved by splitting the shell side flow.
H-Type shell
This is used for similar applications
to G-Type Shell but tends to be used
when larger units are required.
J-Type shell
The divided flow on the shell side reduces the flow velocities over
the tubes and hence reduces the pressure drop and the likelihood
of tube vibration. When there are two inlet nozzles and one outlet
nozzle this is sometimes referred to as an I-Type Shell.
K-Type shell
This is used only for reboilers to provide a large disengagement
space in order to minimize shellside liquid carry over. Alternatively
a K-Type Shell may be used as a chiller. In this case the main
process is to cool the tube side fluid by boiling a fluid on the
shellside.
X-Type shell
This is used if the maximum shellside pressure drop is exceeded by
all other shell and baffle type combinations. The main applications
are shellside condensers and gas cooler
Shell cover .
There are different types shell covers used in shell and tube
heat exchangers: flat, torispherical, hemispherical, conical
and ellipsoidal. Torispherical head is the most widely used in
chemical industries for operating pressure up to 200psi.

Tubes Dimensions
Tube diameters in the range 58 in. (16 mm) to 2 in. (50 mm) are
used.
The smaller diameters 5/8 to 1 in. (16 to 25 mm) are preferred for
most duties.
Larger tubes are easier to clean by mechanical methods and would
be selected for heavily fouling fluids.
The tube thickness (gauge) is selected to withstand the internal
pressure and give corrosion allowance.
7.Heat exchanger sgfgfg design 4 .pptx (3).ppt
The preferred lengths of tubes for heat exchangers are:
6 ft. (1.83 m),
8 ft (2.44 m),
12 ft (3.66 m),
16 ft (4.88 m)
20 ft (6.10 m),
24 ft (7.32 m).
For a given surface area, the use of longer tubes will reduce the
shell diameter; which will generally result in a lower cost
exchanger, particularly for high shell pressures.
The optimum tube length to shell diameter will usually fall within
the range of 5m to 10m.
Tube arrangements
The tubes in an exchanger are usually arranged in an equilateral
triangular, square, or rotated square pattern.
The recommended tube pitch (distance
between tube centers) is 1.25 times the
tube outside diameter.
Where a square pattern is used for ease
of cleaning, the recommended minimum
clearance between the tubes is 0.25 in.

Tube-side passes (Pass partition plate)
The fluid in the tube is directed to flow back in a number of
“passes” through groups of tubes arranged in parallel, to increase
the length of the flow path.
The tubes are arranged into the number of passes required by
dividing the exchanger headers (channels) with partition plates
(pass partitions).
Pass partition plate
Pass partition plate specifies that the minimum thickness of
channel pass partition plates including corrosion allowance should
be 10 mm for both carbon steel and alloy up to channel size of 600
mm.
For higher channel size, the same should be 13 mm carbon steel
and 10 mm for alloy.
Pass partitions
7.Heat exchanger sgfgfg design 4 .pptx (3).ppt
Six tube passes
Two tube passes
Four tube passes
Baffles
They are fixed on the tube side between the tube bundle to
deflect the liquid or vapor-liquid mixture
Usually a metal plate about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick is used
Essentially, a shell and tube exchanger consists of a bundle of tubes
enclosed in a cylindrical shell. The ends of the tubes are fitted into
tube plate , which separate the shell-side and tube-side fluids.
Baffles are provided in the shell to direct the fluid flow and support
the tubes. The assembly of baffles and tubes is held together by
support rods and spacers.
Impingement plates
are fixed on the tube side between the tube bundle and inlet
nozzle to deflect the liquid or vapor-liquid mixture to protect
the tubes from erosion.
The protection against impingement may not be required for
the services involving non-corrosive, non-abrasive, single phase
fluids .
Usually a metal plate about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick is used as the
impingement plate.

Gaskets
Gaskets are used to make the metal -to-metal surfaces leak-proof.
Gaskets are elasto-plastic materials and relatively softer than the
flange materials.
Deformation of gaskets under load seals the surface irregularities
between metal to metal surfaces and prevents leakage of the fluid.
For design pressures<16 kgf/cm2 and when there is no contact with
oil or oil vapor, the compressed asbestos fiber, natural or synthetic
rubber or other suitable gasket and packing materials having the
appropriate mechanical and corrosion resisting properties may be
used).
A preliminary estimation of gaskets is done using following
