• Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

    Shell and tube heat exchanger consist of a series of stainless steel tube. One set of these tubes contains the fluid that must be either heated or cooled. The second fluid runs over the tubes that are being heated or cooled so that it can either provide the heat or absorb the heat required. A set of tubes is called the tube bundle and can be made up of several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc. Shell and Tube heat exchangers are typically used for high pressure applications (with pressures greater than 30 bar and temperatures greater than 260°C. This is because the shell and tube heat exchangers are robust due to their shape. There are several thermal design features that are to be taken into account when designing the tubes in the shell and tube heat exchanger. These include: Tube diameter: Using a small tube diameter makes the heat exchanger both…

It has better corrosion resistance than 316L and 317L, and at the same time, it takes into account both price and performance, and is extremely cost-effective . Because of the addition of 1.5% copper, it has very good corrosion resistance for reducing acids such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. 904L super austenitic stainless steel also has excellent corrosion resistance to stress corrosion, pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion caused by chloride…

  • Effect of Aging Temperature and Time on the Structure and Precipitated Phase of TP304H Stainless Steel

    TP304H stainless steel has high thermal strength and good oxidation resistance, widely used in the high temperature section of boiler superheaters and reheaters over 600℃, and the maximum operating temperature can reach to 760℃. The use of TP304H stainless steel, to a certain extent, solves the over-temperature tube burst caused by the large temperature difference of the furnace smoke, and significantly improves the safety of the boiler operation. However, TP304H stainless steel is prone to structural transformation during long-term high temperature operation, resulting in material aging. Therefore, studying the structure transformation of TP304H austenitic stainless steel and its influencing factors when operating under high temperature conditions is of great significance for rationally arranging the running time of the material, monitoring the damage degree of the pipeline online, and improving the material itself. For this reason, through the high temperature aging simulation test, the influence of aging temperature and time on…

  • Heat Exchanger Type Application Select

    Guanyu Tube is specialized manufacturer of Heat Exchanger Tubes. A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact.They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, and natural gas processing. One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the heat source, being a hot engine-cooling fluid, water, transfers heat to air flowing through the radiator (i.e. the heat transfer medium). In almost any chemical, electronic, or mechanical system, heat must be transferred from one place to another or from one fluid to another. Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. A basic understanding of the mechanical components of a heat exchanger is important to understanding how they function and…
