What is HE?
DOUBLE TUBESHEET EXCHANGERS
A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient HEAT transfer from one fluid to another,
whether the fluids are separated by a solid wall so that they never mix, or the fluids are
directly contacted.

MOCK UP TESTING
17 No of holes used.
Pull out test carried out on Hole nos. 4,9&14 ,surrounded by at least two
rows.
After satisfactory expansion, the joint with annular space was seal welded
first and then subjected to pneumatic test at 2.0 kg/cm2(g). pressure
followed by hydro test at 33.0 kg/cm2(g) and the results were leak tight.

The pull out loads were found to be satisfactory when the tests were done :-

2.
Macro test was conducted after sectioning to confirm the proper flow of
tube material in the grooves after expansion, the flow of material was
satisfactory.

PROBLEMS INCURRED

HEAT EXCHANGERS
PROBLEMS INCURRED
In mock up stage , both ends of the tube sheets were accessible and hence
it was easy to check % expansion in both the tube sheets separately.
In actual job, only one end was accessible. So it required a long bore gauge
to check the expansion. Since the fabricator was not having the long bore
gauge,expansion of the outer T/s was checked and reported. The same was
referred to client for concurrence and was accepted by them based on
satisfactory mock up results.

PROBLEMS INCURRED
CONTD..
BV insisted the above requirement for the T/S TO T/Sheet weld joint
Due to the joint geometry, radiography could not be realised. UT was the
next suggested alternative. Again due to joint configuration /lesser width of
joint & limitation of scanning area only a small portion could be
examined leaving out the critical root penetration.
To counter this, special care for the root pass was undertaken by keeping
3 visible ports for examining the root penetration visually. The root
penetration was found satisfactory.
