SEALING STRIPS IN TUBULAR HEAT EXCHANGERS.

Author(s) : TAYLOR C. E., CURRIE I. G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

SEALING STRIP SHAPES, LOCATIONS, AND GAP WIDTHS ARE EVALUATED AS TO THE PRESSURE DROP THEY CREATE AND AS TO THEIR HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS. UNEXPECTED TRENDS WERE FOUND IN THE HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP RESULTS OF THE GAP WIDTH TESTS. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE RECTANGULAR SEALING STRIP LOCATED AT THE SEVENTH ROW WITH A GAP EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TUBE PITCH AND THE TUBE DIAMETER WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE. FROM THE MEASUREMENTS, PRESSURE DROPS AND HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS MAY BE DEDUCED.
