Client wants A type, due to ease in maintenance activities (avoid disturbance to attached piping). Nevertheless, we'll take up this issue again with Client along with supporting data.
r6155, possible to share the uplift calculations that you carried out?
Regards,
Mike, Thanks for your feedback.
r6155, We had initially proposed BEU, But Client insisted for AEU.
Channel Side Weight = 38 Ton
Shell Side Weight (without Bundle weight) = 15 Ton
Removable Bundle Weight = 8 Ton

Mike, r6155, I'm attaching conceptual sketches for 2 Solutions (Note: Solution 1 with 3 Saddles has been dropped).Exchanger material is CS.
Which Solution do you suggest in attachment, 2 or 3?
Would look forward to your valuable feedback...
SnTMan/Mike, I guess you are implying to the solution of having 2 Saddles on Shell side. If Zick is not applicable, then what alternate calculation method we should consider in this case?
Noted on your point of one saddle design for uplift & reverse uplift during maintenance. I guess we'd have...
Thanks r6155 for your feedback, much appreciated.
By calculations with uneven distribution of loads, Do you mean to have both Saddles on Shell side while Exchanger COG is away from the 2 Saddles (i.e. Exchanger COG is in Channel side & hence not between 2 Saddles on shell side)?
Have you seen...
Hi,
I have a situation where girth flanges & A cover of AEU Tema type Exchanger are very heavy (Tube Side Design pressure is very high, 140 barg).
As a result, Exchanger COG (Center of Gravity) is away from Shell side (COG is in the Channel side area).
Normally, Saddles are located on Shell...
