Heavy-Duty Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

Thermal Sizing & Mechanical Stress Calculations:

Engineered for petrochemical processing and heavy plant heat recovery. The thermal design calculated the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (U), Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD), and segmental baffle spacing (25% shell cut) to maximize heat transfer rates while maintaining shell-side pressure drop below permissible limits.

Key Engineering Highlights:

• Strict adherence to TEMA Class R standards for severe petrochemical service.
• Tubesheet thickness calculations and tube-to-tubesheet joint strength per ASME BPVC Sec VIII.
• Thermal expansion differential stress simulation between tube bundle and outer shell.
