Spherical chamber in heat exchanger
Spherical chamber in heat exchanger
(OP)
Spherical heads are commonly used in high pressure heat exchangers as tube side chambers, but as far as I know I'm not able to calculate them by Compress. Is there any hope to get this feature to Compress soon?
RE: Spherical chamber in heat exchanger
COMPRESS currently provides option to specify hemispherical heads as bonnet end closures for the tube side channels. Is this what you are referring to?
If not, please write to me at support@codeware.com and provide more details. A picture (graphic or CAD drawing) would be helpful in this case. Thank you.

Thus it is not possible to model this construction and follow the rules of ASME UHX. COMPRESS does not provide any other method of analysis for this construction.
Can anyone offer suggestions for a relevant design code for this type of construction?
