Shell & tube heat exchangers consist of a series of tubes & cylindrical shell. One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled. The second fluid runs over the tubes i.e inside the shell that are being heated or cooled. A set of tubes is called the tube bundle.(as shown in Fig).

There are five front head types: A, B, C, D and N. There are eight rear head types: L, M, N, P, S, T, V, and W which corresponding in practice to only three general construction types, namely fixed tube sheet, U-tube and floating head.
18
PDEC
Rear head L is identical to a front head A and rear head M is identical to a front head B while N is the same nomenclature.
There are seven types of shell depending on fluid flows through a shell - E, F, G, H, J, K and X.

PDEC
A fixed-tube sheet heat exchanger has straight tubes secured at both ends to tube sheets welded to the shell. The construction may have removable channel covers (e.g. AEL), bonnet type channel covers (e.g. BEM) or integral tube sheets (e.g. NEN)
21
PDEC
22
PDEC
Advantages of this exchangers The main advantage of a fixed-tube sheet construction is low cost as it has the simplest construction. Permits mechanical cleaning of the inside of the tubes as these are accessible after removal of the channel cover or bonnet.
23
PDEC
No leakage from the shell side fluid as there are no flanged joint. Disadvantages of this exchangers The outside of the tube can not be cleaned mechanically as the bundle can not be removed from the shell. Due to this shell side fluid should be clean
24
PDEC
U-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER As name implies, the tubes of a U-tube heat exchanger are bent in the shape of a U. There is only one tube sheet in a U-tube heat exchanger.
25
PDEC
U-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER Advantages of this exchangers It permits the tube bundle to expand or contract according to the differential stress set up due to free at one end. It permits the outside of the tubes cleaning as the tube bundle can be removed.
26
PDEC
U-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER Disadvantages of this exchangers The inside of the tube cannot be cleaned effectively. This exchangers should not be used for services which have dirty fluid inside the tubes.
27
PDEC
It places a very severe limitation on U-tube heat exchangers for refinery services, which usually have dirty streams on both the tube side and shell side. This is primarily the reason why U- tube heat exchangers are not generally used in oil refineries .
28
PDEC
FLOATING- HEAD HEAT EXCHANGER A Floating-heat exchanger is one where one tube sheet is fixed relative to the shell and the other is free to float within the shell.
29
PDEC
This type of heat exchanger permits free expansion of the tube bundle It permits cleaning of both the inside and outside of the tubes. It is used for services where both the shell side and tube side fluids are dirty.
30
PDEC
FLOATING- HEAD HEAT EXCHANGER Floating head exchanger is the most versatile construction. Disadvantages of this exchangers It is more costlier than Fixed tube & U- tube exchangers due to: More components in this construction Shell diameter is larger than floating tube sheet.
31
PDEC
Pull through with backing device:TEMA type S Pull through: TEMA type T Outside- packed stuffing box: TEMA type P Outside-packed lantern ring: TEMA type W
32
PDEC
Most commonly used type in the chemical processing industries. The floating head cover is secured against the floating tube sheet by bolting it to an ingenious device called split backing ring. The floating head closure is located beyond the end of the shell and contained by a shell cover of a larger diameter.
33
PDEC
Cont. For dismantling the heat exchanger, the shell cover is removed first, then the split backing ring and finally the floating head cover after which the tube bundle can be removed from the stationary end.
PDEC
35
PDEC
36
PDEC
It is generally used for kettle re-boilers having a dirty heating medium where u-tube cannot be used. The shell diameter is the largest in this type of construction since floating head tube sheet with cover has to be removed through the shell. Hence, the cost is the highest in this type of construction.

OUTSIDE-PACKED STUFFINGBOX:TEMA TYPE P In this construction, the shell side fluid is sealed by ring of packing compressed within a stuffingbox by a follower ring. This construction is prone to leakage. Due to this, its usage is limited to shell side services, which are: Non-hazardous and non-toxic services Moderate pressure and temperature (40 kg/cm and 300c).

PDEC
The shell side and tube side fluids are sealed by separate ring of packing or O-ring and separated by a lantern ring provided with weep holes. Hence any leakage will be the outside.
The width of the tube sheet necessarily has to be sufficient to accommodate the two packing rings and the lantern ring, plus the expansion margin.

SHELL AND SHELL COVER: The shell is cylinder in which tubes are contained and serves to contain the shell side flowing stream and forms the outer casing of the tube bundle. TUBE BUNDLE: The tube bundle is the heart of the shell and tube unit and comprises tubes, tube sheets, baffles, floating head cover, split ring. Tie rods, impingement plate, baffle, longitudinal baffle and sealing/sliding strips.
54
PDEC
TUBES: Tubes are most vital component of the heat exchangers. Tubes are two types, namely a) plain or bare and b) finned external or internal Plain tubes are most common ones which are generally used in refineries
55
PDEC
Cont. Tubes are usually defined by outer dia (OD) and wall thickness (or BWG- Birmingham Wire Gauge). Wall thickness can be either minimum wall (when there is no under-tolerance, but only over tolerance), or average wall thickness (when there is both under tolerance and over tolerance).
56
PDEC
Cont. The usual practice is to order tubes with minimum wall thickness for carbon steel and low alloy steel tubes and with average wall thickness for non-ferrous and high-alloy steel tubes. Material of construction of tubes are- carbon steel, low and high alloy steels, special stainless steels, Admiralty brass and bronze, alloys of copper and nickel, Hastealloys and Tantalum.
57
PDEC
TUBE SHEETS: The ends of the tubes fit into a common sheet and are expanded against or welded to the shell to form a pressure tight seal which separates fluid in the shell and that in the tubes. Tube sheet are two types
PDEC
Welded tube to tube sheet joints are usuallyemployed for severe condition such as high pressure (say, in excess of 80 kg/cm) or when handling toxic or inflammable fluids where leakage is not permitted. Floating tube sheet: A tube sheet which can move to allow for expansion or contraction of the tubes relative to the shell.
59
PDEC
Tube sheet thickness can vary from 25 mm for low-pressure low shell dia. to 300 mm for high pressure & large shell Depending on the severity of the situation, tubes are either expanded into grooves in the tube sheet or welded to theme to tube sheet
Baffles:
It serve to support the tubes as well as to impart a sufficiently shell side velocity to yield a satisfactory heat transfer co-efficient.
60
PDEC
Baffles are held securely in place by a combination of tie rods and spacers. The length of spacers is equal to the baffle spacing. The outside diameter of the baffle has to be less than the inside diameter of the shell to permit insertion of the tube bundle into the shell and removal of the bundle from the shell.
61
PDEC
LONGITUDINAL BAFFLES:
A plate which is placed transversely along the centre line of the shell and is employed to divide the shell into two or more compartments is called longitudinal baffle.
A single longitudinal baffle from one tube sheet to just sort of the other tube sheet produce on F shell i.e. a shell with two shell passes.
62
PDEC
A pair of sliding strips is provided at the bottom of floating head tube bundles for their insertion and removal to and from the shell.
A sufficient number of sealing strips is required to be inserted in the gap between the shell and outer most tubes in floating head tube bundles to minimize leakage of the shell
63
PDEC
IMPINGEMENT PLATE: The inlet nozzle is provided with a plate which is used to protect the uppermost tubes located just below the shell side inlet nozzle against direct impingement by the shell side fluid is called an impingement plate. CHANNEL, CHANNEL COVER & PASS PARTITION PLATES: Channel is the inlet and outlet chambers for the fluids flowing through the tubes.
64
PDEC
A channel may either be of a bonnet const. where a dished end is welded to channel barrel or a flanged channel cover. Pass partition plates are the plate in the channel which make the fluid in the tubes flow through one set of tubes and back through another set. They fit tightly into grooves in the tube sheet and channel cover in order to eliminate the possibility of leakage of the tube side fluid from one pass to the next.

BASIC FORMULA: The basic formula for heat transfer is, Q = A* U*T Where, Q = Total heat to be transferred, Kcal/hr A = Required effective heat exchanger surface, based on the tube O.D , m2 U= Overall heat transfer co-efficient,Kcal/hr-m2-c
69
PDEC
Cont. T = effective mean temperature difference, OC For exchangers where the flow of the hot and cold fluids is true counter or concurrent, T is equal to the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) In most commercial exchangers, the use of shell baffles and multiple tube passes causes the flow to be partially counter current and
70
PDEC
Cont. partially concurrent flow. For this mixed flow T is obtained by applying a correction factor (F) to the calculated LMTD for a counter current flow arrangement i.e. T (effective) = LMTD * F ( F= < 1.0)
Where,
LMTD =
Th - Tc Ln ( h / Tc ) (T
71
PDEC
Cont. Where, Th = T1 - t2 Tc = T2 - t1 T1 = Inlet temp. of hot fluid T2 = Outlet temp. of hot fluid t 1 = Inlet temp. of cold fluid t 2 = Outlet temp. of cold fluid
72
PDEC
Cont. The value of correction factor F is obtained from TEMA chart. F is plotted as a function of P and R . Where and R P = Temp. effectiveness or efficiency of exch. = (t of cold fluid) / (t of hot & cold fluid inlet temp.)

PDEC
BASIS OF DESIGN PRESSURE: Maximum pump shut of pressure, or 25 psi or 10% greater than the maximum operating pressure in PSIG BASIS OF DESIGN TEMPERATURE: The minimum design temp is normally set a 25oC above the maximum operating temp at the exchanger
75
PDEC
DESIGN OF STHEs: The design of shell and tube heat exchangers comprises two distinct activities are: Thermal design and Mechanical design
76
PDEC
Thermal design: In thermal design, the heat exchangers is sized, which means that all the principal construction parameters such as shell type and diameter, number of tubes, tube OD and thickness, tube length, tube pitch, number of tube passes, baffle spacing & cut and nozzles sizes are determined.
77
PDEC
Basic aims of a thermal designer are: 1.Produce a thermal design that has a low overall cost. Overall cost = initial cost + operating cost Initial cost is evidently the fixed cost or first cost of the heat exchangers Operating cost = pumping cost + maintenance cost + down time cost
78
PDEC
Cont.: Maintenance cost= periodically cleaning cost + anti - foulant cost + any repair or replace. Cost. 2. Utilize allowable pressure drop as fully as possible. Higher the velocity of the fluid higher will be the heat transfer co-efficient. Higher heat transfer co-efficient will be higher pressure drop.
79
PDEC
Cont.: Higher heat transfer co-efficient will tend to reduce first cost of the exchangers. Higher pressure drop will tend to increase the operating cost of the exchangers Thus a very important goal for a good thermal design is the best utilization of the allowable pressure drop
80
