Thank you all for your answers so far.
We have been asked to fabricate the unit not do the thermal or operational design. My only question is as originally asked "what is a tube pitch appropriate for boiling water service".
Regards
Peter
Hello,
Looking for an opinion.
What tube pitch would be appropriate to suit this requirement from the customer?
" Size the shell diameter to hold the tubes with the appropriate pitch for boiling water service"
Water is outside of tubes.
Tubes: 149 qty of 1.0" x 0.083" wall 12 ft long.
