Heat Exchanger in Simulator

Fast to Complex

▪ Heat Balance (End Point)

– Constant UA approach (Need an estimation of the Heat Transfer)
– Fixed Pressure Drops
▪ Weighted
– UA approach defined by zone
– Fixed Pressure Drops

▪ Detailed simulator model

– Some Geometry specified

– No Design and Cost/Vibration calculation

▪ Rigorous – specialized model

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 5
Drawbacks of the UA Model

▪ UA is normally evaluated at given flow conditions, e.g., pressure,

temperature and flow rate
▪ UA is assumed constant, but
– In case of single phase flow, for example, heat transfer coefficient is a
function of the flow rate (velocity or Reynolds Number)

  f (Re)0.8
– Must not change the stream phase as local heat transfer coefficients
may dramatically alter
– Physical properties vary with temperature

▪ If the local heat transfer changes, the overall U value alters,

which means that as the UA is constant, the Area MUST
change!
© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 6
Rigorous Model Applications

▪ Recommended when you require:

–Accurate rating of existing equipment

– Heat Duty
– Pressure Drop

–Detailed design
–Equipment Cost and Weight
–Vibration analysis

Introductions to Shell Types

▪ The following exchanger shell types (TEMA) are included for review:
– E and F type shells
– G and H-shells
– I/J, K and X-shells

Note: Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger also handles “double-pipe” and “multi-tube hairpin” exchangers

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 18

Shell Types – E and F

▪ E-type shell should be used, if possible, but

▪ F-shell gives pure counter current flow with two tube passes (avoids very long exchangers)

Note: longitudinal baffles are difficult to seal with the shell especially when reinserting the bundle into the shell
after maintenance

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 19

Shell Types – G and H

▪ Often only used for horizontal thermosyphon reboilers

▪ Longitudinal baffle then more a distribution plate – may be perforated

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 20

Shell Types – I/J, X and K

I/J

▪ I and X give low shell side Dp

▪ Combining J-shell called I- shell by EDR (I shell

shown above)

Introduction to Front and Rear Heads

The following exchanger heads are included for review:

▪ Front Head Types

- A,B,C, D and N

▪ Rear Head Types

- Fix Tube (L,M, and N)
- U-Tube
- Floating Head ( P,S, T and W)

Front Head Types – A and B

A – Channel and B – Ellipsoidal Cover

Removable Cover and Cylinder

▪ A-type is standard for dirty tube side

▪ B-type for clean tube side duties – use if possible since cheap and simple

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 24

Front Head Types – C and N

Channel integral with tube sheet Flat Cover – Non removable bundle
▪ C-type with removable shell for hazardous tubeside fluids with heavy bundles or services
that need frequent shellside cleaning

▪ N-type for hazardous fluids on shell side

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 25

Summary of Front Head Selection

▪ B-type standard for clean tube side fluids

▪ A-type standard for dirty tube side fluids

▪ Consider C-type for:

– Hazardous tubeside fluids
– Heavy tube bundles
– Frequent shellside cleaning

▪ Consider N-type for fixed tubesheet exchangers with hazardous shellside fluids

▪ Consider D-type (or bonnet welded to tubesheet) for high pressure

▪ Consider conical for single tube pass (axial nozzle)

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 26

Rear Head Types

▪ Rear head types fall into three general types:

– Fixed tubesheet (L, M, N)

– U-tube
– Floating head (P, S, T, W)
▪ Use fixed tube sheet if DT low*, otherwise use other types to allow for differential thermal expansion

▪ You can use bellows in the shell to allow for expansion but these are special items which have pressure limitations (max. 80 bar)

*For preliminary scoping studies, take below 500C as being low

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 27

Rear Heads - Fixed Tubesheet

The L, M, and N type rear heads have the

same features as for the corresponding
front head types, A, B, and N. With these
types of rear head construction, the bundles
are not removable from the shell
These give small bundle to shell clearance

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 28

Rear Heads - Floating Head Types

Split backing
T has simpler construction than S but gives high shell
with high bundle to shell clearance
ring

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 29

Rear Heads – P and W Floating Heads

▪ Rarely used except on small units

▪ Note that you cannot have a pass partition plate in a W-type thus limiting it to 2 (or 1) pass

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 30

Rear Head Selection

▪ Fixed tube sheet (L, M, N) – small bundle to shell clearance

▪ U-tube - simple design but difficult to clean – small bundle to shell clearance

▪ Floating head (P, S, T, W) – S most common

– S gives higher bundle to shell clearance

– T gives highest bundle to shell clearance
– W limited to 2 (or 1) passes

Rear Head Selection

▪ Fixed tubesheets (L, M, N) provided that:

– No overstressing due to differential expansion
– Shellside does not need mechanical cleaning
▪ Fixed tubesheet with bellows provided that:
– Shellside fluid is not hazardous
– Shellside pressure is below 80 bar (1160 psi)
– Shellside does not need mechanical cleaning
▪ U-Tube provided that
– Tubeside will not need mechanical cleaning
– Countercurrent flow is not required (unless F shell ok)
▪ Split backing Ring Floating Head (S-type)
▪ T,P,W floating head

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 33

Tube Pattern

▪ Use 900 (or 450 ) if shellside cleaning required

▪ Use 300 (or 600 ) otherwise – higher packing density

▪ Little difference between 300 and 600 and between 900 and 450

▪ 300 and 900 normally used

Triangular - 30o Square - 90o

Rotated Triangular - 60o Rotated Square - 45o

Choice of Baffles

▪ Single segmental baffles standard

▪ Use double segmental baffles if lower Dp required
▪ Use ‘no tubes in window’ if vibrations problems likely (with intermediate tube supports)
▪ Use unbaffled only if really necessary (coefficient low)
▪ Other types used less often
– Rod baffles – really a grid support not a baffle
– Triple segmental
– Disc and doughnut
– Helical / spiral flow inducing
– Orifice

Allocation of Fluids

▪ Put dirty stream on the tubeside – easier to clean inside the tubes

▪ Put high pressure stream on the tubeside to avoid thick, expensive shell

▪ When special materials required for one stream, put that one on the tubeside to avoid expensive shell

▪ Cross flow gives higher coefficients than in plain tubes, hence put fluid with lowest coefficient on the shellside

▪ If no obvious benefit, try streams both ways and see which gives best design (Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger makes this easy)

Induced Draught ACHE

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 44

Comparison Forced/Induced

▪ Forced:
– Lower volume of cold air - less fan power
– Air exit temperature not limited by fan/motor tolerance
– Fan and bundle more accessible for maintenance
– Higher turbulence at bundle inlet (improved heat transfer)

▪ Induced:
– Upper rows protected from sun, hail etc
– Less risk of recirculating discharge air
– Lower noise and can fit a recovery bell
– More uniform air flow at bundle inlet

Typical Fouling Resistance

▪ Fouling resistance is an important heat exchanger design

factor that needs to be taken into consideration.
Typical Fouling Resistance - Examples
Fluid stream r m2K/W
Sea water below 50oC 0.0001
Treated cooling water below 50oC 0.0002
Treated cooling water above 50oC 0.0003

Steam (oil free) 0.0001
Compressed air 0.0003
Natural gas 0.0002

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 55

Overall Coefficient for Tube

▪ U defined on the basis of the area of the outside of the tube

▪ Must correct for smaller inside area, hence:

Local and Mean Values

▪ “Overall” means from the hot side to the cold side including all resistances

▪ However it is still at a particular point in the exchanger: i.e., it is local

▪ Hence you can have a local, overall coefficient

Calculation Modes
Rating / Checking

▪ Starting point for Rating /Checking

– Fully specified geometry, hence the Aactual known
– The required heat duty, Qreq
– The process inlet and outlet conditions (implicit in above)
– The allowable pressure drops on the two sides, Dpallow

▪ Main results of calculation:

– The calculated heat transfer area to do the duty, Acalc
– The calculated stream pressure drops, Dpcalc
– Area ratio, Aactual/Acalc

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 63

“Checking” or “Rating”

▪ Some people and companies use the word Rating and others use Checking, they are the same thing

▪ Rating / Checking is answering the following questions:

– Will this exchanger handle the specified duty?
– How much under or over-surface does it have?

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 64

Simulation

▪ For exchanger with fully specified geometry:

– Calculates the outlet conditions of the two streams from their inlet conditions

Set Calculated

Geometry set

Set Calculated
Therefore answers the question “How will this exchanger perform?”

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 65

Maximum Fouling

▪ The calculation mode is similar to Checking, but adjusts the fouling resistance(s) to determine, if possible, the maximum values which give an
area ratio of unity

▪ You can specify that the fouling resistance is only adjusted on one side (hot or cold), or that both resistances on both sides are scaled or added
to

Summary of Calculation Modes

▪ Four calculation modes:

– DESIGN - what geometry of exchanger will perform the specified duty?
– RATING/CHECKING - will this exchanger perform the specified duty (does it have sufficient surface area) ?
– SIMULATION - what duty will this exchanger perform?
– MAXIMUM FOULING - answers the questions:
– What is the maximum fouling for a specific thermal duty to be obtained?
– OR ….what fouling resistance is associated with these process conditions?

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 68

Comments on Calculation Modes (1)

RATING/CHECKING

▪ Quick and easy to use but …

▪ Results may not be very accurate if the exchanger is greatly under/over surfaced

SIMULATION

▪ Results are a true prediction of the exchanger’s performance (especially pressure drop) but

▪ Can take a longer time to run

▪ Properties must be specified over full temperature range otherwise program may fail to converge

© 2018 Aspen Technology, Inc. All rights reserved. 69

Comments on Calculation Modes (2)

DESIGN

▪ Most problems with DESIGN are caused by pressure drop constraints

▪ Many engineers use DESIGN only to find a “ball park” design and refine it using CHECKING mode

▪ Shell & Tube optimization provides excellent starting point for expert or casual user
