Know more about the components of your Heat Exchanger Tube

It always helps to know more about the components of your heat exchangers so you will know how you can better take care of them and extend their life span. Heat Exchanger Tubes are plain and finned, external or internal. The plain tube is used in the normal heat exchanger units while the finned tubes give an increased heat transfer surface. Another type is the duplex tube. It is a tube within a tube snugly fitted by drawing the outer tube onto the inner tube. It is useful in conditions where the shell side fluid is not compatible with the material satisfactory for the tube side fluid. The outside diameters of the tubes vary from 6 mm to 40 mm. The thickness generally varies depending on the materials of construction and diameters. Tube lengths also vary from 0.5, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 meters. They are laid out either on an equilateral triangular pitch or a square pitch. The minimum pitch is 1.25 times the outside diameter of tubes. When tubes are on the square pitch a minimum cleaning l...

Various Types of Stainless Steel Tubes and Their Use

Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in low and high temperature because it contains chromium. This is what makes stainless steel different from mild steel or any other steel. Although tubes are not the cheapest option on the market, they have many benefits. Apart from being resistant to corrosion, which enables them to be useful in thin wall piping, they have low fluid friction properties and are easy to maintain, making them cost-effective. They have been used in the construction of safe and long-lasting structures, like factories. Different types of stainless steel tubes are made to withstand different environments, with varying temperatures. Here are several types of such tubes: • Austenitic - ductile, non-magnetic and good for welding. It is used to make kitchen wares, large scale piping, and containers. • Ferritic - same as austenitic, but a better resistant to corrosion. It is used in indoor equipment, like washing machines. • Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex) -...

Heat Exchanger Tube Advantages, Techniques and Equipment

  Heat exchangers play a key role in the operation of many systems and processes. Some everyday examples would include within your boiler when you turn on the hot water, or on your fridge or freezer to keep it cool. In the first case, heat is being transferred into the boiler, and the second heat is being transferred away to keep the freezer cool. Within industry heat exchangers are used for a whole host of processes, often within a critical setting. Within the power industry, for example, water must be heated into steam to drive the turbines, however, the steam must be superheated because any moisture in the steam can cause damage to the turbines. Without an effective heat exchanger, the steam wouldn't reach the correct temperature and the damage to the turbine would occur, potentially costing the power company millions. For this reason, it's incredibly important to keep heat exchangers and other essential equipment in top condition. In order to mitigate threats such as these...
