Heat exchanger arrangement and duty
Heat exchanger arrangement and duty
(OP)
Dear Forumners,
I'm quite new when it comes to HE and I am learning to understand arrangement and duty mean on the data sheet. Basically in the data sheet I was referring to stated that the HE shall be 3 x 50% in parallel. What this mean actually?
Based on my understanding this refers to the HE are design in parallel where each unit working at 50% heat duty. Meaning all three units are working with 50% of its design duty isn't it?
Thank you in advance for your gracious helps

Sometimes facilities have a planed rotation, so the 'out of service' unit changes regularly.
Some plants always clean and test a unit when it is taken out of service, and then it is left clean and dry ready to be used when one of the others becomes too dirty or fails.
