Tube to Tube Sheet

DEFINITION DEFINI TION - HEA HEAT T EXCHANG EXCHANGER  ER  

Heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one fluid to t o another, where the fluids are separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix. OR



Heat exchanger is defined as a device used to transfer heat from a fluids on one side of a barrier to another fluid, flowing on the other side of the barrier.

FIXED TUBESHEET

FLOATING  TUBESHEET

“U” BUNDLE  WITH SINGLE  TUBE SHEET

FIXED TUBESHEET

SUMMARY 

Two tube sheets with tube bundle assembled in between, are fixed to both ends of the shell.



Tube sheets are either directly welded to shell or bolted to flanges which are welded to shell ends.



Differential expansion if any, will develop stresses in tubes & shell material.



To tae care of differential dif ferential expansion, shell may re!uire expansion bellows.

FLOATING TUBESHEET

SUMMARY 

One tubesheet is fixed to one end of the shell.



Other tubesheet is floating within the shell w ith a floating head cover.



This facilitates tube & shell to t o expand independently without inducing any stresses due to differential expansion.



"o expansion bellow is re!uired on the shell to tae t ae care of differential expansion.

“U” BUNDLE WITH SINGLE TUBESHEET

“U” TUBE BUNDLE, KETTLE TYPE EXCHANGER 

SUMMARY 

#$% bent tube bundle assembled on one tubesheet.



ssembled tube bundle is inserted into the t he shell.



Tube sheet is bolted to shell flange.



#$% tubes can expand e xpand freely inside the shell.



"o stresses due to differential expansion.



"o expansion bellow is re!uired on shell to tae care of differential expansion .
