Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHE)
Most widely used heat transfer equipment.
Large heat transfer area in a relatively small volume
Fabricated from alloy steels to resist corrosion and used for heating, cooling, and for condensing wide range of vapours
Various types of construction of STHE, and a typical tube bundle is shown in the Figures on the following slides.
![Page 12: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

13
The simplest type of STHE is “fixed tube sheet type”:
Fixed tube sheets at both ends into which the tubes are welded and their ends are expanded (flared).
Tubes can be connected so that the internal fluid can make several passes, which results into a high fluid velocity for a given heat transfer area and fluid flow rate.
Shell-side fluid is made to flow in a ZIG-ZAG manner across the tube bundle by fitting a series of baffles along the tube length.
![Page 14: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Baffles can be segmental with ≈ 25% cutaway (see Figure) to provide some free space to increase fluid velocity across the tubes, resulting into higher heat transfer rates for a given shell-side fluid flow rate.
Limitations of fixed tube sheet type STHE:
⌧ Tube bundle cannot be removed for cleaning
⌧ No provision exists for differential expansion between the tubes and the shell (an expansion joint may be fitted to shell but this results into higher fabrications cost).
![Page 15: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

17
STHE with floating head
If we want to allow for tube bundle removal and for tubes’ expansion (thermal expansion): floating head exchanger is used (see Figure).
One tube sheet is fixed, but the second is bolted to a floating head cover so that the tube bundle can move relative to the shell (in the case of thermal expansion).
The floating tube sheet is clamped between the floating head and a split backing flange in such a way that the tube bundle can be taken out by breaking the flanges.
![Page 18: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
The shell cover at the floating head end is larger than that at the other end.
Therefore, the tubes can be placed as near as possible to the edge of the fixed tube sheet, thus utilising the space to the maximum.

STHE with hairpin tubes
This arrangement also provides for tubes’ expansion.
This involves the use of hairpin tubes (see Figure).
This design is very commonly used for the reboiler of distillation columns where steam is condensed inside the tubes to provide for the latent heat of vaporisation.

Sometimes, it is advantageous to have two or more shell-side passes, although this increases the difficulty of construction.
![Page 24: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Design considerations for STHE
The HE should be reliable with the desired capacity.
Use of standard components and fittings and making the design as simple as possible.
Minimum overall cost.
Balance between depreciation cost and operating cost.
![Page 25: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
For example, in a vapour condenser:
Higher water velocity in tubes ⇒ higher Reynolds number Re ⇒ higher heat transfer coefficient on TUBE SIDE ⇒ higher OVERALL transfer coefficient ⇒ smaller exchanger (lower area).
However, pumping cost increases rapidly with increase in velocity (kinetic head increases).
Economic optimum is required to be calculated (see Figure).
![Page 26: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Classification of STHEBasis for classification of STHE: “standard” published by Tubular Exchanger Manufacturer’s Association (TEMA), 8th Edition, 1998. Supplements pressure vessel codes like ASME and BS 5500.
Sets out constructional details, recommended tube sizes, allowable clearances, terminology etc.
Provides basis for contracts.
Tends to be followed rigidly even when not strictly necessary.
Many users have their own additions to the standard which suppliers must follow.

TEMA E-type shell for STHE
The simplest possible construction.
Entry and exit nozzles at opposite ends of a single pass exchanger.
Most design methods are based on TEMA E-type shell, although these methods may be adapted for other shell types by allowing for the resulting velocity changes.
One-pass shell

33
TEMA F-type shell for STHE
Longitudinal baffle gives two shell passes (alternative to the use of two shells for a close temperature approach or low shell-side flow rates).
ΔP for two shells (instead of F-type) is ≈ 8× that for E-type design (pumping cost).
Limitation: probable leakage between longitudinal baffle and shell may restrict application range.

TEMA G-type shell for STHE
Performance is superior to E-type although ΔP is similar to the E-type.

36
TEMA X-type shell for STHE
No cross baffles and hence the shell-side fluid is in counter-flow giving extremely low ΔP, hence,
Gas coolers and condensers operating at low pressures.
Cross flow
![Page 37: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
MOC of shell of STHE: carbon steel (C.S.); standard pipes for smaller sizes and rolled welded plate for larger sizes (> 0.4-1.0 m).
Except for high pressure, calculated wall thickness is usually < minimum recommended values, although a corrosion allowance of 3.2 mm is added for C.S.
Shell thickness: calculated using Equation for thin-walled cylinders (minimum thickness = 9.5 mm for shells > 0.33 m o.d. and 11.1 mm for shells > 0.9 m o.d.)
Thickness is determined more by rigidity requirements than by internal pressure.
![Page 38: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Minimum shell thickness for various materials is given in BS-3274 (and many international standards).
Shell diameter should be such that the tube bundle should fit very closely ⇒ reduces bypassing of fluid outside the tube bundle.
Typical values for the clearance between the outer tubes in the bundle and the inside diameter of the shell are available for various types of HEs (see Figure).
![Page 39: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Tube bundle design takes into account shell-side and tube-side pressures since these affect any potential leakage between tube bundle and shell which cannot be tolerated where high purity or uncontaminated materials are required.
In general, tube bundles make use of a fixed tube sheet, a floating-head or U-tubes.
![Page 41: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

42
Tube DIAMETER selection
Smaller tubes give a larger heat transfer area for a given shell diameter (16 mm o.d. tubes are minimum size to permit adequate cleaning).
Smaller diameters ⇒ shorter tubes ⇒ more holes to be drilled in tube sheet ⇒ adds to construction cost and increases tube vibration.
Heat exchanger tubes size range = 16 mm (⅝ inch) to 50 mm (2 in) o.d.
![Page 43: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Smaller diameter tubes are preferred ⇒ more compact and hence cheaper units.
Larger tubes are easier to clean by mechanical methods and are hence widely used for heavily fouling fluids.
The tube thickness should withstand internal pressure and should provide adequate corrosion allowance.
Details of steel tubes used in heat exchangers are given in BS-3606, and standards for other materials are given in BS-3274.
![Page 44: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Tube LENGTH selection
As tube length ↑ cost ↓: for a given surface area because of smaller shell diameter, thinner tube sheets and flanges, smaller number of holes in tube sheets.
Preferred tube lengths: 1.83 m (6 ft), 2.44 m (8 ft), 3.88 m (12 ft) and 4.88 m (16 ft).
Longer tubes: for low tube-side flow rate.
For given number of tubes per pass for the required fluid velocity, the total length of tubes per tube-side pass is determined by heat transfer surface required.
![Page 45: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Then, the tubes are fitted into a suitable shell to give the desired shell-side velocity.
With long tubes and relatively few tubes, it may be difficult to arrange sufficient baffles for sufficient support to the tubes.
For good all-round performance, the ratio of tube length to shell diameter is typically in the range 5-10.

Tube layout and pitch: equilateral triangular, square and staggered square arrays.
Triangular layout: robust tube sheet.
Square layout: simplifies maintenance and shell side cleaning.
Minimum pitch: 1.25 × tube diameter.
Clean fluids: smallest pitch (triangular 30° layout) is used for clean fluids in both laminar and turbulent flow.

Baffle (cross-baffle) designs
Baffle: designed to direct shell-side flow across the tube bundle and to support the tubes against sagging and possible vibration:
Segmental baffle: most common type is the which provides a baffle window.
Ratio (baffle spacing/baffle cut): decides the maximum ratio of heat transfer rate to ΔP.
Double segmental (disc and doughnut) baffles: to reduce ΔP by about 60%.
Triple segmental baffles: all tubes are supported by all baffles ⇒ low ΔP and minimum tube vibration.
![Page 55: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Baffle (cross-baffle) designs
Baffle spacing: TEMA recommendation:
Segmental baffles spacing ≥ 20% shell ID or 50 mm whichever is greater.
It may be noted that the majority of failures due to vibration occur when the unsupported tube length is in excess of 80 per cent of the TEMA maximum; the best solution is to avoid having tubes in the baffle window.

(ΔT)MEAN in multipass STHE
Multipass STHE (having more tube-side passes then shell-side passes): flow is countercurrent in some sections and cocurrent in other sections.
The LMTD does not apply in this case.
Correction factor F: when F is multiplied by LMTD for countercurrent flow, the product is true average temperature driving force.
![Page 65: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
The assumptions involved are:
The shell fluid temperature is uniform over the cross-section in a pass.
Equal heat transfer area in each pass.
Overall heat transfer coefficient U is constant throughout the exchanger.
Heat capacities of the two fluids are constant over the temperature range involved.
No change in phase of either fluid.
Heat losses from the unit are negligible.

There may be some point where the temperature of the cold fluid is greater than θ2. Beyond this point the stream will be cooled rather than heated.
This situation is avoided by INCREASING the number of shell passes.
If a temperature cross occurs in a 1 shell-side passSTHE, 2 shell-side passes should be used.
The general form of the temperature profile for a two shell-side unit is as shown in the Figure on next slide.

Shell-side (longitudinal) baffles: difficult to fit andserious chance of leakage between two shell sides ⇒ use two exchangers in series, one below the other.
On very large installations it is necessary to link up a number of exchangers in SERIES (Figure on next slide).
For A ≥ 250 m2, consider using multiple smaller unitsin series; initial cost is higher.

For maximum heat recovery from the hot fluid, θ2should be as high as possible.
The difference (T2–θ2) is known as the approach temperature OR temperature approach.
If θ2 > T2: temperature cross (F decreases very rapidly when there is only 1 shell-side pass) ⇒ in parts of HE, heat is transferred in the wrong direction.
Consider an example (1,2-STHE) where equal ranges of temperature are considered:

There may be a number of process streams, some to be heated and some to be cooled.
Overall heat balance: indicates whether there is a net PLUS or MINUS heat available.
The most effective match of the hot and cold streams in the heat exchanger network: reduces the heating and cooling duties to a minimum.
This is achieved by making the best use of the temperature driving forces.
![Page 77: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
There is always a point where the temperature difference between the hot and cold streams is aminimum and this is referred to as the pinch.
Lower temperature difference at the pinch point means lower demand on utilities.
However, a greater area (and hence cost) is involved and an economic balance must be made.

Effect of variation of fluid properties with temperature on turbulent convective heat transfer
The previous equations can be used without correction for variation of physical properties with temperature provided that the driving force (Tbulk – Twall) is small, that is, less than ≈ 15% of absolute temperature of fluid.
If a gas is being cooled (Tbulk > Twall), error analysis shows that no correction is necessary even for large ΔT.
If gas is being heated (Tbulk < Twall), then heat transfer is reduced and a correction must be applied. The recommended form of correction is:
![Page 80: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

In liquids, μ decreases with T, hence effect of temperature is the opposite to that in gases and heat transfer is increased in case of heating (Tbulk < Twall).
Therefore, in liquids, (cooling and heating), a correction is applied if Tbulk and Twall are significantly different. The correction factor recommended is (Sieder and Tate, 1936) as:

EXAMPLE (Effect of fluid properties on turbulent convective heat transfer):
Compare the heat transfer rates for air, water, and oil flowing in a pipe of 2.5 cm diameter at a Reynolds number of 105. The internal surface temperature of pipe is 99 0C and fluid mean temperature is 55 0C. How would the pressure drop vary for the three cases? Properties at the mean film temperature (Tbulk+Twall)/2 are as given in the following table:

ΔP/L is an indication of pressure loss in pipe.
Pressure loss in case of oil is very high ⇒ velocity of 167 m/s is impractical.
![Page 88: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)

If average oil velocity is brought down to 2 m/s, then (ΔP/L)oil will reduce to 707 (N/m2)/m, but (Re)oil will also reduce from 105 to ≈ 1199.
That will bring down (hi)oil drastically.
This means: heat transfer rates equivalent to water can not be obtained with oil for commensurate pressure loss. WHY???
Please note: Dittus-Boelter equation is no longer valid for Re of 1199, that is, laminar flow regime; some other appropriate equation will have to be used.

Calculations for heat transfer and pressure loss for fluids flowing inside tubes is relatively straightforward.
Heat transfer and pressure loss calculations within the shell of the exchanger are not straightforward, because of the complex flow conditions.
The calculation procedure has evolved over the decades.
Initially, methods (correlations) were developed for computing shell-side pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient based on experimental data for “typical”exchangers.

Kern (1950) method: correlation of data for standard exchangers by a simple equation analogous to equations for flow inside tubes. (Kern, Donald Q. 1950, “Process Heat Transfer”, McGraw-Hill).
Limitations:
Restricted to a fixed baffle-cut (25%), can not account for effect of other baffle configurations,
Can not adequately account for leakages through gaps between tubes and baffles, and between baffles and shell,
Can not account for bypassing of the flow around the gap between tube bundle and shell.

Nevertheless, Kern method: very simple and rapid for the calculation of shell-side heat transfer coefficients and pressure losses.
Based on data from industrial heat transfer operations and for a fixed baffle cut of 25%, Kern gives the equation:

Use the Kern method to calculate shell-side heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop for flow of a light hydrocarbon with following specification (at Tbulk):
Total mass flow rate = MT = 5.5188 kg/s
Density = ρ = 730 kg/m3
Thermal conductivity = k = 0.1324 W/(m K)

Bell (1963) developed a method in which correction factors were introduced for the following:
Leakage through gaps between tubes and baffles, and baffles and shell, respectively,
Bypassing of flow around the gap between tube bundle and shell,
Effect of baffle configuration (recognition: only a fraction of the tubes are in pure cross-flow),
Effect of adverse temperature gradient on heat transfer in laminar flow.

Flow Stream-Analysis method(Tinker, T. 1951; Wills, M.J.N. and Johnston, D. 1984)
Tinker (1950) suggested “stream-analysis” method for calculation of shell-side flow and heat transfer.
Formed the basis of modern computer codes for shell-side prediction.
Wills and Johnston (1984) developed a simplified version suitable for hand calculations.
Simultaneously adopted by Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU, 1983), and provides a useful tool for realistic checks on “black box” computer calculations.

Example: A flow of 1 kg/s of an organic liquid of heat capacity 2.0 kJ/(kg K) is cooled from 350 K to 330 K by a stream of water flowing counter-currently through a DPHE. Estimate effectiveness of heat exchanger if water enters DPHE at 290 K and leaves at 320 K.
Solution:
MORG = 1 kg/s
cP,ORG = 2.0 kJ/(kg K) = 2000 J/(kg K)
ΔTORG = TORG,OUT – TORG,IN = 350 – 330 = 20 K

Similar to co-current flow, equation can derived for effectiveness of heat exchanger for counter-current flow.
Please note: in case of counter-current heat exchanger, θ1 = T2,2–T1,1; θ2 = T2,1–T1,2.
Equation for effectiveness E is given by:

Example: A process requires a flow of 4 kg/s of purified water at 340 K to be heated from 320 K by 8 kg/s of untreated water which can be available at 380, 370, 360or 350 K. Estimate the heat transfer surfaces of 1,2-STHE suitable for these duties. In all cases, the mean heat capacity of the water streams is 4.18 kJ/(kg K) and the overall coefficient of heat transfer is 1.5 kW/(m2 K).
Solution:
For the untreated water (hot fluid):
(McP)HOT = 8 × 4180 = 33,440 J/(s K)
![Page 142: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
142
For the purified water (cold fluid):
(McP)COLD = 4 × 4180 = 16,720 J/(s K)
Therefore, (McP)MIN = (McP)COLD = 16,720 J/(s K)

Plate heat exchangers
First developed by APV, and then by Alfa-Laval.
Series of parallel plates held firmly together between substantial head frames.
Plates: one-piece pressings (usually SS), and are spaced by rubber sealing gaskets cemented into a channel around the edge of each plate.
Plates have troughs pressed out perpendicular to flow direction and arranged to interlink neighbouring plates to form a channel of constantly changing direction.
![Page 146: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
146
Generally, the gap between the plates is 1.3-1.5 mm.
Each liquid flows in alternate spaces and a large surface can be obtained in a small volume.
Because of shape of the plates, the developed area of surface is appreciably greater than the projected area.
High degree of turbulence is obtained even at low flow rates and the high heat transfer coefficients obtained.
The high transfer coefficient enables these exchangers to be operated with very small temperature differences, so that a high heat recovery is obtained.

These units have been particularly successful in the dairy and brewing industries, where the low liquid capacity and the close control of temperature have been valuable features.
A further advantage is that they are easily dismantled for inspection of the whole plate.
The necessity for the long gasket is an inherent weakness, but the exchangers have been worked successfully up to 423 K and at pressures of 930 kN/m2.
They are now being used in the processing and gas industries with solvents, sugar, acetic acid, ammoniacalliquor, and so on.

Spiral heat exchangers
Two fluids flow through the channels formed between spiral plates.
Fluid velocities may be as high as 2.1 m/s and overall heat transfer coefficients (U) ≈ 2800 W/(m2 K) can be obtained.
Inner heat transfer coefficient is almost DOUBLE that for a straight tube.
Cost is comparable or even less than that of STHE, particularly when they are fabricated from alloy steels.

Thermal InsulationHeat Losses through Lagging
Heat loss (gain) from vessels and utility piping: radiation, conduction, convection.
Radiation: f(T14–T2
4) = increases rapidly with (T1–T2).
Conduction: Air is a very poor heat conductor ⇒ heat loss by conduction (by air) is very small.
Convection: Convection currents form very easily ⇒heat loss from an unlagged surface is considerable.
![Page 185: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)
185
Lagging of hot and cold surfaces is necessary for:
Conservation of energy,
To achieve acceptable working conditions.
For example: surface temperature of furnaces is reduced by using a series of “poor-heat-conducting”insulating bricks.
Main requirements of a good lagging material:
Low thermal conductivity,
It should suppress convection currents.
![Page 186: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/186.jpg)
186
The materials that are frequently used are:
Cork: very good insulator but becomes charred at moderate temperatures and is used mainly in refrigerating plants.
85 per cent magnesia: widely used for lagging steam pipes: applied either as a hot plastic material (cannot be reused) or in preformed sections (can be reused).
Glass wool: cannot be reused.
Vermiculite: a reusable inorganic material.
![Page 187: applications of the principles of heat transfer to design of heat exchangers](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042507/554a209db4c905825d8b57d3/html5/thumbnails/187.jpg)
187
The rate of heat loss per unit area is given by:temperature difference
thermal resistance∑∑
For example: in case of heat loss to atmosphere from a lagged (insulated) steam pipe, thermal resistance is:
Due to steam condensate film inside pipe (conVEctive),
Due to dirt / scaling inside the pipe (conDUctive),
Due to pipe wall (conDUctive),
Due to Lagging / insulation (conDUctive),
Due to air film outside the lagging (conVEctive).

Economic Thickness of Lagging
Thickness of lagging ↑, loss of heat ↓⇒ saving in operating costs.
However, cost of lagging ↑ with thickness ⇒ there will be an optimum thickness of lagging when further increase does not save sufficient heat to justify the cost.

Typical Recommendations (loose):
373-423 K, 150 mm dia. pipe: 25 mm thickness of 85% magnesia lagging
373-423 K, > 230 mm dia. pipe: 50 mm thickness of 85% magnesia lagging
470-520 K, < 75 mm dia. pipe: 38 mm thickness of 85% magnesia lagging.
470-520 K, 75 mm < dpipe ≤ 230 mm : 50 mm thickness of 85% magnesia lagging.

198
Critical Thickness of Lagging
Lagging thickness ↑, resistance to heat transfer by thermal conduction ↑, AND the outside area (circular pipes) from which heat is lost to surroundings also ↑⇒possibility of increased heat loss.
The above argument can be explained if we consider the lagging to work as a large circular fin having very low thermal conductivity.
