Vertical Exchanger - Tube Projection
Vertical Exchanger - Tube Projection
(OP)
I've got a 96 tube heat exchanger that was formerly horizontal, now is vertical. I'm replacing the bundle on it and the tubes are to be Seal Welded and Rolled.
Do I need to do anything different as far as tube projection because it is vertical?

RE: Vertical Exchanger - Tube Projection
Which direction is flow? You don't want projection on the inlet side for flow reasons.
It is common to roll and then mill the ends to a controlled (and very small) projection before welding.
