Put shell info in shell sheet in red areas


Note:
1. Initially estimate shell ID between 1.5-3 times tube-side pipeline ID, here it is 6 inch so

first estimation would be 12 inch.

Put Tube mechanical data


Since it is cooling water, 19.05 is selected and thanks to presence of CO2 and Ammonia
in the water Duplex SS is selected.
According to table below tube thickness of 1.65 is chosen.

Results:

1. Now run and the dp in hot shell side becomes 1.62 bar and overdesign factor becomes -22%
2. Now increase the shell ID and overdesign factor becomes 35% and dp reduces to 0.89 bar
3. Now increase baffle spacing to 250 mm and run it again. Dp reduces to 0.215 and overdesign
Factor to 33%.

Spacing Oversizing

100 35

250 33

300 31

350 31

400 30.5

4. Now decrease tube length to 4.87 to reduce oversize factor and run it and oversizing factor
becomes 5.54%. As a result, dp also reduces to 10.17
5. Now increase Shell ID to 450mm and reduce Tube length to 4.27m simultaneously and the
result is that dp becomes 0.138 bar and overdesign factor 14%

6. Now increase Shell ID to 500 mm and activate tube layout and run it and the overdesign
factor becomes 40%

7. Now omit some tube like below and run it and the overdesign becomes 21%

But after doing so, the water velocity in tube side reaches less than 1 m/s so we try to
use double pass and by doing so, dp in tube side goes from 0.11 to 0.39 bar and tube
side h goes from 5426 to 9898 and the velocity goes from 0.98 to 2.11.

8. Now omit some tubes like below and run it and overdesign factor becomes 7%

Now the only fly in the ointment is that B stream is low so different cut and spacing for baffle is
tested and baffle cut of 35% is tested and the overdesign factor becomes 1.73% and B-stream
increase to 50%.

Education Institute for

Equipment & Process Design

If baffle cut of 25% is selected then B-stream be as low as 41% but overdesign factor is
about 7%
Education Institute for

Equipment & Process Design

Now if the baffle cut 35% and increase tube length to 4.87 and run it. This results in overdesign
factor of 16% and so reduce the number of tubes till the overdesign factor becomes 10%. Then
activate impingement plate and omit some tubes and run it.

Which one should be selected?


While Topsoe design offers a heat exchanger with lower weight, that of mine offers a heat
exchanger with higher overdesign factor.
By the way Topsoe configuration was also tested on my design and my configuration was
slightly higher than that of Topsoe design
