What is a tubular heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger is process equipment designed to transfer heat between two fluids or between the surface of a solid and a moving fluid. The manufacture of the heat exchanger can be performed in different grades of stainless steel or special alloys. They can withstand high and low operating pressures and a wide range of process temperatures. In the manufacture of heat exchangers, welding is a key aspect of the process. The tubular heat exchangers are very efficient process equipment, and a high speed improves heat transfer considerably. Sizing of a tubular heat exchanger To carry out the dimensioning of Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger Tubes , it is necessary to have certain starting data, such as the process flow, the initial and final temperature. An essential factor for the calculation and dimensioning of a tubular heat exchanger is to be able to characterize the behaviour of the product. It should be done in a reliable and precise way, through laboratory tests, where it is possi...
