Shell Side/Tube Side

Shell Side/Tube Side

Shell Side/Tube Side

(OP)
I am looking for the definitions for Shell Side and Tube Side. An illustration would be very helpful. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help, Kent.

RE: Shell Side/Tube Side

Hi,

just to expand on PVRV's post.  The tubeside would be  defined as those compartments which contain (or are in contact with) the tubeside process fluid.It includes channel (or bonnet), tubes, nozzles, & flanges connected to these parts.The shellside would be those compartments that contain (or are in contact with) the shellside fluid .It includes the cylindrical shell, the shell cover, any nozzles, & flanges connected to these parts.Items like the tubesheets, floating head assembly, and tubes, are part of both the shellside and tubeside as they are in contact with both tubeside and shellside process fluids.

RE: Shell Side/Tube Side

John,

Excellent post.  Perhaps, you should explain and define what
process fluid, nozzles, flanges, tubesheet, floating head assmebly, are ? etc.

Since Kent had required assistance grasping "shell side" &
"tube side"

Cheers
