fluids.
increase
reduce or increase
reduce
maintain
Exchangers are called ______ when the temperature of a vapor is reduced to the point where some or all
of the vapor becomes liquid by the transfer of heat to another fluid, usually water.
preheater
radiators
condensers
reboiler
When a hot fluid is cooled to a lower
desired temperature by the transfer of heat to another fluid, usually water, the exchanger is usually referred to as a________.
radiator
reboiler
heater
cooler
When air is used to reduce the temperature of a hot liquid to a lower desired temperature, the exchanger is
referred to as _____
preheater
chiller
air cooler
condenser
In shell and tube-bundle exchangers, usually the tubes are attached to the tubesheet by
________.
threading
rolling and welding
rolling
slot in
What is an advantage of using a S&T HEX consisting of one Fixed Tubesheet with a Floating Head?
easier cleaning of external of tube bundle
this type of construction permits free expansion and
contraction with changes in temperature
lower cost compared to 2-fixed tubesheets type
higher heat transfer efficiency is provided
Horizontal reboilers normally have a/an ________ above the tube bundle.
water gauge
large vapor space
inlet nozzle
weir plate
___________ is used to produce vapor from liquids by passing a hot fluid through the tubes.
Reboiler
Preheater
Boiler
Stream condenser
In S&T HEX, frequently, _________ is located below the shell inlet nozzle to prevent
impingement of the incoming fluid on the adjacent tubes.
vortex breaker
tie rods
an impingement baffle plate
a longitudinal baffle
Why are plate HEXs easily clogged by dirt and products of
corrosion?
low temperature service cause more dirt to trap inside
flow rate is lower in plate HEX
the flow openings between plates are small
plate HEX does not have tubes
