Hello everyone.
I encountered a problem related to pipeline compensation as you can see in the attached picture. This is an installation project from an external contractor. The green arrows represent the sliding supports. Pipe size 6 in. Temperature rise 180 K. Stainless steel tube. Do I...
Thank you for the information.
I would like to go one step further: I have found a few information that the window in the support plate is mandatory for floating head but not necessary for U-tubes. I have found a few drawings as well where the U-tube budnle has solid support plate. What is the...
Mike, thank you so much for the answer.
So the only result of the construction without window in the support plate will be reduction of the heat exchange area equal to the outer surface of all tubes between the support plate and the tubesheet, right?

Hi!
Could anyone explain me, why the support plate (the baffle next to the floating tube sheet) in floating head heat exchangers (for example BES TEMA type) has usually cut out piece of material? Not like standard segmental baffle, just for example small square inside the diameter of the...
Hi Everyone!
I suppose that my question will be very easy for experienced engineers, but I would like to ensure myself:
Could somebody explain my how it is, that the fixed tube sheet heat exchanger equipped with the expansion joint (thin wall bellow) does not break between the saddles exactly...
