Vapor Distribution Belts
(OP)
Does compress handle vapor distribution belts for a heat exchanger or do I have to model it as a separate vessel? I did not see the option.
Please advise,

RE: Vapor Distribution Belts
COMPRESS has a feature to evaluate Integral Flat Head with large single circular central opening, Appendix 14.
Here is a story that could help you. We were asked to evaluate a heat exchanger with a vapor distribution belt. We first tried the Appendix 14 approach and the results were a required thickness for vapor distribution belt that was very thick (over 2" for MAWP=150 psi). We decided then to evaluate the vessel by use of FEA.
Hope it helps,
Eddy

Afox88 - As far as I know, Compress does not address vapor distribution belts. Would be a good addition though!
