How many shell side passes does this HX have?

How many shell side passes does this HX have?

How many shell side passes does this HX have?

(OP)
How many shell side passes does this HX have?

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

There's no dividers = 1 pass. No reverse flow or turns in the secondary side flow.

(OP)
There are baffles but no divider. Thank you.

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

OK, if there are baffles, where are the baffles? How many?

We can only answer based on the info given. No info = no value.

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

Our software handles it like this:
In the shell pass field, enter 1
In the shell type field, enter 2 for divided flow
enter 3 for divided flow and double segmental baffles

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

I'd say it has a 3 quarters pass bigsmile

Half the flow goes the full path the other half goes half the path ponder

All kidding aside you need to determine why such an arrangement would be desired.

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

I've seen kettle type (not as shown in the sketch) waste heat boilers with parallel shell bottom-side inlets for better hydraulics.

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

BTW, also thermosyphon reboilers have two bottom-side inlet nozzles but these units generally also have two shell top-side outlets.

RE: How many shell side passes does this HX have?

And the original poster STILL has not bothered to say how baffles he actually has in the HX.
