Answers to Common
Heat Exchanger Design Queries.
We’ve compiled answers to common questions about heat exchanger configurations, thermal review and mechanical design support.
We provide thermal and mechanical engineering support for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including condensers, reboilers, coolers and process heaters. The equipment type and scope are confirmed against the project requirements.
Design checks can be carried out with reference to the applicable TEMA class and ASME requirements, together with project specifications and client standards. The governing requirements are agreed at the start of the assignment.
Typical inputs include process datasheets, flow rates, inlet and outlet temperatures, operating and design pressures, fluid properties, allowable pressure drop, material requirements and the project design basis. Existing drawings and specifications are also useful.
Depending on the project, the scope may include configuration review, thermal rating review, tube layout, baffle and tie-rod details, tubesheet and flange design, expansion-joint design, shell and channel calculations, bundle pulling and maintenance access checks.
