Summary

ASSESSING HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGNS, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF FLOW INDUCED VIBRATION, IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT AS SHELL SIDE FLOW VELOCITIES ARE INCREASED IN A QUEST FOR BETTER THERMAL PERFORMANCE. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE STATE OF THE ART CONCERNING THE MAIN SOURCES OF VIBRATION EXCITATION. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE MANY AREAS WHICH REQUIRE FURTHER INVESTIGATION BUT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT DATA AVAILABLE AT PRESENT TO DESIGN, WITH REASONABLE CONFIDENCE, UNITS THAT WILL BE FREE FROM FLOW INDUCED VIBRATION.
