    Expansion joints are used in fixed tube sheet heat exchangers to allow for differential expansion between the tube and shell materials. They are attached to the shell wall where two pipe pieces join together. Expansion joints accommodate expansion and contraction from temperature differences between the tube-side and shell-side fluids. U-tube heat exchangers are generally cheaper than floating head exchangers but are more difficult to clean tube-side dirty fluids from. Floating head exchangers come in pull-through designs with or without split baking rings, with the pull-through without baking ring being more expensive but easier to remove the entire tube bundle. Sealing strips are provided between tube bundles and shell walls in pull-through floating head ex

    Expansion joint:

    • Expansion joint is attached to shell wall. Shell is made two


    pipe pieces Two pipe pieces are joined together by expansion
    joint.
    • Expansion joint is used in a fixed tube sheet Heat
    Exchangers. Expansion joint is provided in fixed tube sheet
    Heat Exchangers, if tube & shell expand or contract differently
    with temperature. Differential thermal expansion is indused if
    there is large temperature difference between the tube side
    fluid temperature & shell side fluid temperature and tube
    material & shell material are different.
    • U tube heat Exchanger is cheaper than floating head heat
    Exchanger.
    • Both type of heat Exchanger also facilitate the cleaning of
    tube bundle from outside surface. Both have one
    disadvantages over fixed tube sheet Heat Exchangers that is
    in both type of heat Exchanger for a given no of tubes
    required to accommodate the tubes are higher than the
    same required for fixed tube sheet Heat Exchangers.
    • U tube Heat Exchanger are not recommend to use for
    tube side dirty fluid. It is difficult to remove dirt from the U
    tube.While floating head Heat Exchanger can be used
    where both shell side & tube side fluid are dirty.
    Floating head Heat Exchangers are two types
    (i) Pull through floting head with baking device.it is widely used
    in chemical process industries.
    Advantage: Compred to Pull through floting head less diameter
    is required for shell to accommodate the same number of tubes.
    Disadvantage: More maintenance time is required.In
    maintenance shell cover is removed first,then the split baking
    ring, then floating head cover, then tube bundle is removed
    from stationary end.
    (ii) Pull through floting head: It is used with kettle type
    reboiler.it does not use the spilt baking ring. with this Heat
    Exchanger it is possible to remove the entire tube bundle
    including floting head assembly from the stationary end. But it is
    the costlier Heat exchanger.
    Sealing strip:
    • In Kern method, it is assumed that entire fluid is flowing in cross flow
    manner. In all latest method of process design shell side fluid flow is
    divided in five different streams. Among these streams one of the
    stream is flow of shell side fluid bypassed through the clearance
    between tube bundle & shell ID. This clearance are significant in case of
    Pull through floting head heat Exchanger.
    • Bypassing of shell side fluid through this area reduce the value of shell
    side heat transfer coefficient. For such cases, sealing strips are provided
    in clearance between tube bundle & shell ID. Sealing strips reduce the
    amount of bypass stream flow through this methods. Shell side heat
    transfer coefficient is also a function of no of sealing strips provided in
    this area. sealing strip s also make the removal of tube bundle from the
    shell easier. hence they are also known as sealing strips.
    Tube: Tube sizes are ranging from 1/4"(6.35mm) to 2 1/2
    (63.5mm) are used. For a without phase change Heat Exchanger &
    for condenser 3/4" size tube is widely used in actual practice.
    While for reboiler 1" tube size is common.
    Tube side pass partition: Tube side passes are provided to
    decrease the tube flow area and to increase the tube side fluid
    velocity & therby to improve the tube side heat transfer
    coefficient, but at the exapance of pressure drop. For example For
    design purpose of we compare 1-1 heat Exchanger with 1-2 heat
    Exchanger, for the same nos of tubes & same size of tubes, for a
    equal flow rate velocity of tube side fluid in 1-2 heat Exchanger is
    doubled than 1-1 heat exchanger.
    Tube sheet: Tubes are attached to tube sheet. Tube to tube
    sheet joints are two types (1) Expanded joint (2) welding joint.
    Welding joint is costlier than Expanded joint. hence welding joint
    is used only for the cases where leakage of fluid resulted in
    disaster.
