Isometric view for U-tube exchanger
![Page 24: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When to use this type?
It is used where the temperature difference between the shell side and tube side fluids is quite great….WHY?
Because the tubes are free to expand since the tube bundle is fastened to only one tube sheet.

1. Put dirty stream on the tube side [fouling fluid] - easier to clean inside the tubes
2. Put high pressure stream in the tubes to avoid thick, expensive shell
3. When special materials required for one stream, put that one in the tubes to avoid expensive shell
4. Put corrosive fluid in the tube tom reduce the cost of expensive shell
5. Put toxic fluid in the tube to minimize leakage
Allocation of fluids
Tube side

Shell-Side
1. Viscous fluid to increase (generally) the value of "U“ [Cross flow gives higher coefficients than in plane tubes, hence put fluid with lowest coefficient on the shell side]
2. Fluid having the lowest flow rate
3. Condensing or boiling fluid
NoteIf no obvious benefit, try streams both ways and see which gives best design

Heat exchangers problems
Exchanger fouling
Corrosion
vibration
![Page 31: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Definition of fouling Build up of various kinds of deposits on the parts of an
exchanger
Types of fouling
1. Salt deposit [as Ca and Mg deposits in case of hard water]
2. Chemical fouling [as corrosion products]
3. Biological fouling [as growth of algae which form insulating layer]
4. Coking
![Page 32: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Effect of fouling on the H.X performance
1. Increase the thermal resistance and reduce the rate of heat transfer [decrease the efficiency of the H.X]
2. Increase the surface roughness [the flow of the fluid is restricted] and increase the pressure drop
Troubles that indicate the presence of fouling
1. Change in temperature or pressure
2. Change in flowrate [outlet flow rate]
![Page 33: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Factors affecting the kind and degree of fouling
1. The materials used in the heat exchanger
► Some materials corrode faster than others providing corrosion products which decrease heat transfer
► Rough surface provides cavities for the build up of deposits
2. Fluid velocity
Affect the fouling rate [as the velocity increase the fouling rate decrease]
![Page 34: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How to handle the problem of fouling
►Antifoulants prevent the formation of deposits
►Inhibitors [as corrosion inhibitors] prevent chemical reactions which might cause deposits to build up
►Frequent cleaning of the H.X [maintenance]
![Page 35: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Corrosion of heat exchangers
Another series problem in heat exchangers is corrosion
Severe corrosion can and does occur in tubing and very often with
common fluids such as water
To avoid corrosion►Proper material selection based on full analysis of the operating fluids, velocities and temperatures is a must
►Heavier gauge tubing is specified to offset the effect of corrosion followed by proper start up operating and shut down procedure
►Protection of the heat exchanger from corrosion [e.g.cathodic protection]
►Treatment of the cooling water used and using inhibitors

![Page 37: Heat exchangers The device at which heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures and separated by a solid wall occurs is called heat exchanger.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d9f5503460f94a8999e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Heat exchangers vibration
Vibration of the tubes as a result of the flow of the shell side past them is important phenomena specially when the H.X size and flow quantities of flow are increased
Vibration effects
►Vibration has a bad effect on both tubes and shell
►The joints between the tubes and tube sheet can fail due to vibration causing leakage
►It causes leakage in the joints between shell and tubes
►Increase the shut down time to repair the H.X

How to avoid vibration
Using inlet support baffles
Using double segmental baffles [improve tube support]
Using j shell type [ divided flow type to reduce the shell velocity]

Air cooled heat exchanger
Used for cooling and condensation and used when cooling water is in short supply or expensive
They can also be competitive with water cooled units even when water is plentiful
Most common used in petroleum and gas processing industries
Main components
Air cooled exchangers consist of banks of finned tubes over which air is blown or drawn by fans mounted below or above the tubeIf the fan is mounted below the tubes the unit is termed forced draft unit and if the fan is mounted above the tubes the unit is termed induced daft
