PREFACE
'fhc design of process equipment such as shell-and-tube heat ex-rlrlrrgcrs, pressure vessels and storage tanks requires a familiarity with avirr icty of sources of design data and procedures. The purpose ofthis booki$ to oonsolidate the scattered literature and present the material in simpli-lro(l li)rm so that it can be easily applied to design problems. Typical ex-irrrrplcs have been included to illustrate the application of the relationshipsrrrrtl procedures presented in the text. Therefore, the designer should findtlris book to be a convenient and useful rcference.
This book is based upon the author's several years of design exper-ic ce and extensive researchinto previously published literature. The topicsl)r'cscnted were selected based upon t}le problems most frequently en-crountered by the author.
Every effort has been made to eliminate effors during the develop-0r0r1t of this book. However, should any euors be noted, the reader is en-oouraged to bring them to the attention of the author. In addition anycomments or questions related to the topics within this book are invitedl)y the author. Neither the author nor the publisher, however, can assumetcsponsibility for the results of designers using values or procedures con-tained in this book since so many variables affect every design.
The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Frank R.llollig for editorial work and to Eugene F. Megyesy for his help in prepar-ing this book for publication.
The author also wishes to express his appreciation to the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers, Gulf Publishing Company, Chemical En-gineering, The James F.

ISHELL-AND.TUBf, HEAT EXCHANGERS
lntroduction
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from one fluidto another. This type of equipment is mostly used in petroehemicalplants and petroleum refineries. Proper selection of such equipmentcannot only minimize the initial plant cost but can also reduce the dailyoperating and maintenance costs' The project or process engineerdoes not have to be familiar with the complete design aspects sincethese exchangers are generally designed by the manufacturer'
The project or process engineer, however, must understand themethods ol designing and labricating heat exchangers in order to obtainthe best suited unit liom the manulacturer. By knowing these methods,he can cooperate more closely with the manulacturer and this can savethem both time and money in exchanger applications.
Several types ol heat exchangers are available but only lhe majortypes along with their design leatures will be discussed in this chapter.
Applications of Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applicationspetrochemicai plants and petroleum relineries. The functions ofmajor types are:'
ChillerThe chiller cools a process stream by evaporating a rel'rigerant. lt lstusually employed where required process temperatures are lower thanthose attainable with cooling waler.

I)tist(;N ()tr t,tr,(x:liss li(?tI ,MLiN I'(irudcnscrl'hc condenser condenses vapors by rcmoving heat to cooling water,atmospheric air or other media.
Partial Condenser
The partial condenser condenses vapors at a point high enough toprovide a temperature dillerence great enough to preheat a cold streamoi process Uuid. lt saves heat and eliminates the need lbr providing aseparate preheater using a Iurnace or steam.
Final Condenser
The linal condenser condenses vapors to a linal storage temperature olaround l00oF. It generally uses water cooling which means that thetranslerred heat is lost to the process.
Cooler
The cooler cools process streams by removing heat to cooling water,atmospheric air or other media.
Exchanger
The exchanger exchanges heat from a hot to a cold process stream.
Heatr
The heater heats a process stream by condensing steam.
Reboiler
The reboiler connects to the bottom of a distillation column to boilbottoms liquids and supply heat to the column. The heating media canbe steam, hot water or hot process stream.
Thermosiphon Reboiler
With the thermosiphon rboiler the natural circulation ol the boilingmedium is obtained by maintaining sufficient liquid head to provide lbrcirculation of the fluid material.
Forced Circulation Reboiler
The lbrced circulation reboiler uses a pump to lorcc liquid through thcreboiler ol a distillation column.

Sterm Generator
The steam generator generates stam lbr use elsewhere in th plant byusing high level heat from any available Iuel.
Superheatel
The superheater heats a vapor above the saturation or condensationtemPerature.
!hporizerThe vaporizer is a heater which vaporizes part of the liquid led to it'
Wast Heat Boilel
The waste heat boiler produces steam and is similar to a steam generator'except that the heating medium is a hot waste gas or hot liquid by-product produced within the plant.
To perform these applications, many types of heat exchangers areavailable. However, their design and materials of construction must besuitable for the desired operating conditions. The selection of matrialsof construction is mainly influenced by the operating temPerature, andthe corrosive nature of the fluid being handled. In each case seleclionmust be both economical and practical.
CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
The classification oI heat exchangers is primarily defined by theirtype of construction of which the most common is the shell-and-tubetype. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are built of round tubes mountedin cylindrical shells with their axis parallel to that ofthe shell. These haveextreme versatility in thermal design, and can be built in practically anysize or length. Tbe majority ofliquid-toJiquid heat exchangers fall in thistyp of construction. These are employed as heaters or coolers for avaiiety of applications that include oil coolers in power plants and theprocess heat exchangers in the petroleum refining and chemicalindustries. This type of construction is also well suited to specialapplications in which the heat exchanger must be made ofglass toresistthe attack of highly corrosive liquid, to avoid alfecting the flavor offoodproducts, or the like. Figure I shows some of the various kinds of mostiommonly used shell-and+ube heat exchangers.2
The general construction features of common shell-and-tube typeexchangers as well as the nomenclature involved is illustrated in Figure.r2
l)lisl(;N ( )l; Pl..(x:liss IIQLJIPMUN'tF igurc 2 shows sections ol typical exchangers. The tube bundle is
made up of tubes, tubshets and cross baflles. The channel at the frontend of the exchanger serves as a header to feed the fluid into the tubes.The tloating head at the back end ofthe tube bundle is the return header.It moves freely with the thermal expansion of the tubes in the bundle.
The shell unit is essentially a cylinder with a bolting flange at eachend. The channel bolts to th front flange, and the shell cover bolts to therear flange. Figure 2 also shows some ofthe variations available in shell-and-tub designs. Each variation has certain advantages, and also hassome disadvantages. The major types of shell-and-tube heat exchangrsdepending on their mechanical conliguration are discussed below.r

Usually, the tubesheets extend beyond the shell and scrve ersllanges lbr bolting tubeside headers. This construction requires t hat shclland tubesheet materials must be weldable to each other.
_
Because -there are no gasketed joints on the shellside, fixed_
lgbesheet exchangers provide maxrmum protection against leakage of5Sellside fluid to the outside. Since clearance betwe; th; oui..rn.r,lgbes and the shell is only the minimum required for fabrication, tubesmay completely fill the exchanger shell. However, this type haslirnitations such as: (a) the shell side cannor be mechanically cleaned orinspected, and (bl t hereis no provision for dillerential therrnut

Tubeside headers, channel covers, gaskets erc.,are accessible lbr maintenance and replacement, and tu-bes can bereplaced.and cleaned internally. The shellside can be cleaned onll oy6sckwashing or circulating a cleaning fluid.
_.
Fixed-tubesheet exchangers tjnd use primarily in services where the56ellside fluids are nonfouling, such as steam, refrigerants, gases, certainheat transfer nuids, some cooling waters and clean process streams.
g-Tube Heat Exchangers
In this type, both ends of U-shaped tubes are fastened to a singlestationary tube-sheet, thus eliminating the problem ot aifiereitiatllermal expansion because the tubes are free to expand unJ

The U-tube bundles provide aboul the same minimum clearancebetween the outermost tubes and the inside ofthe shell as fixed_tubesheetexchangers. The number of tube holes in the tubesheet for anv sivcn5hell, however, is less than for the fixed_tubesheet kind becau,ie oflirnitations on bending tubes. The number of tubeside passes mustalways be an even number, the maximum is limited only by ft" nu.U".of return bends.

FABRICATION OF SHELL-AND-TUBEHEAT EXCHANGERS
Standards
The TEMA'? (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) haspublished detailed standards for the design and construction of.shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The mechanical standard has been dividedinto three parts rePresenting the following three diflerent classes of heatexchangers:
l. Class "R" Exchangers This type is specified for the generally severerequirements of petroleum and related processing applications'Equipment fabricated pr this class is designed for safety andduraLi[ty under the rigoroirs service and maintenance conditions rnsuch applications.
2. Class "C" Exchrngers This is specified for the generally moderaterequirements of commercial and general process applications'Equipment fabricated in accordance with this class isdesigned for theeconomy and ove.all compactness consistent with safety and servicerequirements in such applications.
3. Class "B" Exchangers This cl4ss is specified for chemical processservice. The equipment is designed for the maximum economy andoverall compactness consistent with safety and service requirementsin such applications.
Fabrication Procedure''s
Shells
The shell portion ofthe heat exchanger is made ofeither seamless pipe orrolled and welded cylinder. These are fabricated from pipe with nominalpipe diameters up to 12" as given in Table 1. Above 12" and including 24"the actual outside diameter and the nominal pipe diameter are the same.Shells above 24" in diameter are fabricated by rolling and welding steelplates in accordance with the ASME Code Section VIII, Division l, forFressure Vessels. Automatic welding is used almost exclusively on thelongitudinal sams and also on most of the circumferential seams.

There are several types of baffles which are employed in heatexchangers, but by far the most common are the segmnt baffles asshown in Fig. 6. Segmental baffles are drilled plates which are general-ly cut to some percentage of the shell inside diameter' Baffles may bearranged, ur rho*rr, for "up-and-down" flow or may be rotated 90oto prJuid" "side-to-side" flow, the later being desirable when a mix-ture of liquid and gas flows through the shell' The baffle pitch not thepercentage cut detlrmines the effective velocity of the shell fluid'
Other types of bames are the disc or donut, and the orifice baflles asshown in Figs.7 and 8 respectively. Although additional types aresometimes employed, they are not of general importance.
Tubes
Heat-exchanger tubes are also referred to as condenser tubes and shouldnot be confused with steel pipes or other types of pipes which areextruded to iron pipe sizes. The outside diameter of heat exchanger orcondenser tubes is the actual outside diameter in inches within a verystrict tolerance. Heat exchanger tubes are available in a variety ofmetalswhich include steel,copper, admiralty, muntz metal, brass, 70-30 copper-nickel, aluminium bronze, alurninium and stainless steel. They areobtainable in a number of wall thicknesses defined by the BirminghamWire Gage, which is usually referred to as the BWG or gage of the tube.These tubes are available in various sizes, of which i" O.D. and 1" O.D.are most common in heat exchanger design.
The choice of a tube material for any particular application maypresnt no problem at all in many cases but may be a dilficult andcomplex problem in severely corrosive envitonments. All the knownfactors which influence or contribut to corrosion such as pastperformance of materials under similar service condition, type ofcorrosion experienced in similar units, etc. would aid an engineermaterially in selection of most economical and most serviceable tubematerial for the job.Duplex Tubes
It is not uncommon to find conditions where the fluids both inside andoutside the tubs are extremely corrosive, and in addition require adilferent amount of corrosion on each side. Tubes which combine two

differrent metals called duplex tubes can be used to meet this problem'Duplex tubes are manufactured by mechanically bonding tubes. of twodifferent metals or alloys so that they are in intimate contact' In this wayit is possible to choose various combinations of ferrous or non-ferrousalloys to combat successfully a certain type of corrosion at the^outsidesurface and entirely different type of corrosion at the inside surface'
Ferrules
Where contact of the ends of th outer tube with the fluid passingtfriough tlt" toUe isconsidered objectionable, these ends may be replacedwith flrrules of the same alloy as that of the inside tube' These ferrulesneed be only long enough to ensure their bing held in place when the
tube ends are rollid into the tubesheets' It is a distinct advantage to haveiil."-1".tut". furnished as an integral part of the tube to facilitateir,.Lttutiott. The construction of duplex tubes with attached ferrules isshown in Fig. 9 and 10 before and after installation respectively'
Tube Rolling
Tubes are passed through the tubeshets and baffles, and are fixed inplace by an expanding operation. They are set in a preliminary.fashionLy forcing u piog ug"intt the tubes. The plug preYents the tube fromturning when the roller expander is inserted' The roller is a rotatrngmandr-il having a slight taper. It is capable ofexceeding the elastic limit ofthe tube metai and transforms it into a semiplastic condition so that itflows into the grooves and forms an extremely tight seal A simple and
"ornrnon ""u.ll. is shown in Fig. 11. Tube rolling is a skill,since a tube

so that they can be removed easily as shown in Fig. 12. The tubes areactually packed in the tubesheet by means of ferrules using a soft metalpacking ring.
After completion ofthe bundle assembly, it is brought to a test rackwhere a hydrotest is applied. Bundles are then lowered vertically into theexchanger shells and linal hydrotest of the exchanger is made. After theoutside ofthe shell is painted with a rust-preventive paint and all flangesare covered to prevent damage, the unit is ready for shipment.

The flanges included in the API Standard and the several TaylorForge Standards are designed in accordance with the requirements ofthecode. When flanges to other standards are considered, only allowableratings in accordance with the code need to be checked instead of thedevelopment of an individual design.
Taylor Forge Catalog No. 722 lists all of the above and also otherlarge diameter flanges. A lot of unnecessary flange design time can besaved by choosing the appropriate flange from this catalog. Howevcr,due to the variety of sizes and pressure and temperature combinationsrequired for process equipment, manual designing ofthese flanges is notvery uncommon. The design analysis of various types of flanges alongwith the sample design calculations for eash kind are included in thischapter.
We will cover the design ofcircular flanges under internal pressure withgaskets entirely within the inrer edges of the bolt holes and with the outerrims of the flanges not touching under the applied loading as discussed rnASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel coder and EPG Bulletin No. 502,2 Thescare classified as circular flanges as illustrated in Appendix 2 of 1983 editionof the ASME code Section VIII, Div l, Paragraph 2-4 and Fig. 2-4. Thefollowing are types of such flanges:1 Intgral Type Flanges. This type covers designs where the flange rs
integral with the neck or vessel wall, butt-welded to the neck or vesselwall, or attached to the neck or vessel walt by any other type of weldedjoint that is considered to be the equivalent to an integral structure. Inwelded construction, the neck or vessel wall is considered to act as ahub.
Fig. la through ld represent flanges of this type. For flangcshaving tapered hubs, the dimension 9o is defined in the code as thehub thickness at the small end, but for calculation purposes it is moreconvenient to let go equal the wall thickness of the attached cylinder.Also, th hub length I extends exactly to the point where its slopelinemeets the O.D. of the vessel or nozzle and thus ft may actually beshorter or longer than the hub length as manufactured.
The dimension B in this case will be the inside diameter of boththe flange and the vessel or nozzle.
2- Loose Type Flanges. This type covers designs where the flange hasno dirct attachment between the vessel or nozzle and those wherethe method of attachment is not considered to be equivalent rointegral structure.
60 6l
Irl.AN(il; l)rlsl(;N
l-ig. lc shows the original application of this type. The hub canho made of any length or omitted entirely. Bsides lapjoint, slip on,threaded and socket type flangs are also classed as loose typ. Forhubbed flanges ofthis type, there is no minimum limitation on i or go.I{owever, values oI go less than 1.5t, and i lcss than go are notrecommended. Ifthe hub is too small to meet these limits, it is best todesign it as in Fig. 1f, but ofintegral type, using hub thickness equal to(t r + t,) at large end, t, at small end and B as the inside diameter ofthevessel or nozzle.
While designing loose type flanges, B should be taken as theinside dianeter of the flange but not the vessel or nozzle.
Optional Type Flanges. This type covers designs where theattachment of the flange to the vessel or nozzle wall is such that theassembly is considered to act as a unit which should be calculated asan integral flange, with the vessel wall taking on the functions of thehub. This obviously includes welded construction with no apparenthub, as shown in Fig. 1g and lh, or constructions with such smallhubs that do not merit inclusion in the loose typ group. The term"optional" is used because the designer may calculate theconstruction as a loose type flange provided none of the followingvalues is exceeded:
B .^^
,o:i Incn. ..i
:J(^JDesign pressure :300 psi
Operating temperature : 700"F
Thus the integral flanges that come within the above restrictionscan also be designed as loose type flanges. This simplifies the calcula-tions and may result in som economy.
BOLT LOAD AND GASKET REACTIONIn bolt-up condition the bolt load is balanced only by the gasket
reaction as shown in Fig. 2a. As internal pressure is applied, the boltload is balanced by lhe sum of gasket reaction and the hydrostatic endforce due to pressure as shown in Fig' 2b. Thus, while designing aflange, both the above conditions should be analyzed separately.

Thus, ifthe actual spacing exceedsthe normal bolt spacing, the flange thickness must be increased in orderto maintain an even distribution ofgasket load. This necessary increasein thickness can be determined by giving the total moments acorresponding increase, the thickness increase being proportional to thesquare root of the moment increase as derived from formulas forcalculation of S^ and St, the radial and tangential stresses in the flangerespectively.

Allowable Flange Dsign Stresses
l hc flange stresses as calculated above shall not exceed the followingvalues:
l. Longitudinal hub stress Sr should not be greater than 1'5 S/" in theoperating condition and 1.5 S/" in the gasket seating condition.
l. Radial flange stress SR shall not exceed S/, in the oprating conditionand S/. in the gasket seating condition.
I. Tangential flange stress Sr shall not be greater than S/" in theoperating condition and S/, in the gasket seating condition.
4. The greater of 0.5(srf + Sr) or 0.5(Sr, * Sr ) shall not exceed Sr" in theoperating condition and S/" in the gasket seating condition.
If any of the stresses other than S, exceeds the allowable' the flangeI hickness r can be revised till the stresibs are within allowable. However,if S,, xceeds the allowable, the increase in flange thickness will not helpand it may be necessary to lengthen the hub, increase the 9r thickness oralter both of them.
Considering Pass Rib Area in Flenge DeignIn certain application of flanges, especially in shell-and-tube heatcxchangers where multipass channels are specified, the area for pass ribsalso contributes to required bolt load in the operating as well as in thegasket seating conditions. Its effect may be negligible in some cases but itis advisable to consider it in flange design wherever applicable. The mostcommonly used pass arrangements for two, four and six pass channelsare indicated in Fig. 9. In order to simplify the calculations, the rib areasfor each case and for exchanger sizes 6" through 100" inclusive are givenin Table 5. Use ofrib area in llange design is illustrated in the calculationsheet.

F'LANC!: DESIGN
SOLUTION
ln this case we will have two flanges bolted together but designed fordiffcrent conditions. The required bolt load in the operating conditionlbr the shell side will govern the design of both flanges because of lhehigher design pressure. Since the gaskets on both sides are of the samenraterial, the required bolt load for gasket seating will be greater for thelow pressure flange. Since such a high design pressure is involved, gasketscating probably will not control the design. Tberefore, the shell sidellange will be the independent flange while the channel side will be thedcpendent flange.
Independent flange has to be designed first so that we can carry overthe bolt load for the design ofthe dependent flange. Both the flanges willbc designed here in detail, but the attached calculation sheets can be usedto save time. Both these flanges will be designed using corrodeddimensions because the corroded condition results in greater thicknels.
Design of Independent FlangeRefer to Figure and design steps on Weld Neck Independent FlangeDesign Calculation Sheet. Now we have,
