Tube Failures in High Pressure Boilers
There are twenty-two primary reasons for tube failures in a boiler, which can be classified under six major groups. They can be analyzed and corrective and preventive action can taken. Good operating and maintenance practice reduces tube failures. Tube failures during the initial operation period, the normal operation period, and after ten to fifteen years operation show different trends.
Corrosion Failure
Fluid velocity in excess of the manufacturer recommendation on either the shell or tube side of the heat exchanger will likely cause erosion damage as metal wears from the tubing surfaces. If any corrosion is already present on the exchanger, the erosion is accelerated, exposing the underlying metal to further attack without a protective coating.
Thermodynamics and Heat Exchanger Efficiency
Thermodynamics and Heat Exchanger Efficiency The science of thermodynamics is universally concerned with the relationship between heat and temperature, and energy and work. Though thermodynamics is by no means simple enough to explain in brief terms, one of its main tenets essentially states that efficiency is unattainable in the real world.
CiteSeerX — Failure Analysis of Methanol Evaporator
According to fluid mechanics, this phenomenon is a particular type of transient flows during which abrupt change of fluid leads to sudden pressure change inside the tube. In this paper, the mechanism of abrupt failure of 80 tubes of 481 tubes of a methanol heat exchanger is discussed.
Chapter 16 HEAT EXCHANGERS
16-6C Using six-tube passes in a shell and tube heat exchanger increases the heat transfer surface area, and the rate of heat transfer increases. But it also increases the manufacturing costs. 16-7C Using so many tubes increases the heat transfer surface area

Troubleshooting steam heat exchangers
2000/5/3The entire series describes shell-and-tube heat exchangers, although most elements of our system will apply to all types of steam heat exchangers. Specific system components Let's look at some of the system components before and after our exchanger to help us better understand stall conditions.
Industrial Heat Exchanger: Operation and Maintenance
Heat exchanger is equipment used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. It has extensive domestic and industrial applications. Extensive technical literature is available on heat exchanger design, operation and maintenance, but it is widely scattered throughout the industrial bulletins, industrial design codes and standard, technical journals, etc. The purpose of this book chapter is to
Shell tube heat exchanger pressure drop
Shell and tube sides of the exchanger Shell and tube heat exchangers are very popular and widely used in the process industry, thanks to their versatility.They consist of metal tubes passing through another metal enclosure, which is referred to as the 'shell'. So in shell and tube exchanger, we have two compartments shell side and tube
The stress state analysis of the high performance heat exchanger
This causes that the thermal loading inside the tubes differs significantly, what may lead to exceeding the allowable stress level of the material and consequently to the failure of the heat exchanger [1, 2]. In the past the one of such failures of

Case 39: Vibration failure of a heat exchanger tube
2021/4/16At a recent seminar I presented, several attendees were having vibration problems similar to the type described in this case history. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers can develop tube leaks at the baffles due to wear caused by flow-induced vibration. These show up as grooves in the tubes (Fig. 1
Solving Hydraulic System Overheating Problems
2020/8/13Inspect the heat exchanger and ensure that the core is not blocked. The ability of the heat exchanger to dissipate heat is dependent on the flow-rate and temperature of both the hydraulic fluid and the cooling air or water circulating through the exchanger.

The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger as One of Several
A straight tube heat exchanger is easier to clean than a U-tube heat exchanger, so it is better for a tube side fluid that tends to foul the tube, causing a need for regular cleaning. The U-tube heat exchanger works well if the two fluids have greatly different thermal expansion characteristics, because it can allow the tube and the shell to expand or contract independently.
(PDF) Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers Using Cooling
Many shell and tube heat exchangers use cooling water. There are a number of design criteria/principles, peculiar to the use of cooling water, which should be considered if the best design is to be obtained for such a unit. This guide gives good
Heat exchanger tubes, Tubes for Heat Exchanger and
For most shell-and-tube heat exchanger types, the first step in designing an exchanger for a specific process is thermal design. Given the process conditions and heat transfer requirements, the thermal design determines the exchanger's size, shape, number and size of
Signs your Shell Tube Heat Exchanger may Fail
Shell tube heat exchangers have no moving parts, make no noise and generally go about their jobs in an unassuming manner. But there is a lot happening inside them and a failure in one heat exchanger may shut down an entire operation whether it be a large
Six Causes of Heat Exchanger Tube Failure
In many cases a heat exchanger failure or malfunction could cause a complete shutdown of operations. This article seeks to provide engineers with an overview of some problems specifically affecting heat exchanger tubes. Six Causes of Heat Exchanger Tube
Premature Failure of Grade
2020/10/12Premature failure of seamless tubes made of 316Ti stainless steel in a boiler feed-water (BFW) heat exchanger occurred at a local steel complex, which led to about 65–70% service-life reduction. The heat exchanger is a fixed-tube-sheet type with hydrogen gas flowing inside the tubes and water circulating through the shell side. The cooled hydrogen gas is purged to box annealing furnaces

VIBRATION IN HEAT EXCHANGERS
Vibration of tubes in heat exchangers is an important limiting factor in heat exchanger operation. The vibration is caused by nonstationary fluid dynamic processes occurring in the flow. These are turbulent pressure pulsations (see Turbulent flow), vortex initiation and separation from tubes in crossflow (see Crossflow), hydroelastic interaction of heat transmitting element (tubes) assemblies
HRS explains exchanger fouling
This shortens the working life of the heat exchanger and can result in catastrophic failure. The fouling factor The fouling factor represents the theoretical resistance to heat flow due to the build-up of a fouling layer on the tube surfaces of the heat exchanger.
