I think you are talking about the release valve (RV) on the positive displacement pump. When the head pressure on the discharge side increases the release valve will increase as well, which is designed to protect the piping network and the pump itself. If you want to reduce the flow rate through...
Gaskets are important to prevent wall erosion, if this occurs the heat-exchanger's thermal performance will be effective
on the water side. Therefore, the Lanier path on the waterside will be reduced.

I know you're requesting assistance in the gasket designs, but I'm curious why you decided to use an u-tube design (shell & tube) for air to water application? Most of the time you need more surface area on the air side to properly transfer energy from one boundary to another. Most of the...
There are mainly two types of pitches required for heat exchanger application:
One is called a streamlined pitch and the other is a transverse pitch.
I believe your equation is calculating the distance between 2 tubes in the transverse direction which is perpendicular to your stream-flow's path...
I worked for Thermal Transfer Technology, which we might be of help in conducting test for you on the existing tube bundle. I have a few questions for you to determine, if we can preform the test in our manufacturing facility.
1) size of the tube-bundle's gross dimensions?
2) cross-sectional...
