Safety Considerations for Plate Heat Exchanger Design

During the process, there are some safety considerations you should notice:
1. Design specifications. The design specifications of heat exchangers include the types of working fluid and flow, import and export temperature, working pressure and heat exchanger efficiency. Aerospace heat exchangers should also include permissible pressure drop, size and quality.
2. Overall arrangement. First you should choose the type and structure of heat exchangers, the form of fluid flow and the materials, and then choose the type of heat surface, to consider the operating temperature and pressure, etc.
3. Heat design. The thermal design of the heat exchanger includes heat transfer calculation, flow calculation and determination of size. In addition to technical performance indicators, thermal design also need heat transfer characteristics (including heat transfer characteristics, flow characteristics and structural parameters) and fluid and material thermal activity parameters. According to the design goal, for the selected variety of forms and heat transfer surfaces, through different angles to optimize the analysis, provide centralized options.
4. Structure design.
(1) According to the maximum operating temperature and maximum working pressure, as well as thermal design and resistance calculation results, determine the material and size of each part to ensure the performance of the heat exchanger in stable operation.
(2) Depending on the operating temperature, pressure and fluid properties, choose the welding methods and sealing materials.
(3) To ensure the uniformity of fluid distribution as the goal, do the head, header, adapter and partition design.
(4) In order to meet the structural design of thermal and resistance performance, the main components have to be checked for strength to avoid waste in the extreme working conditions due to lack of strength.
(5) Consider requirements of maintenance (including cleaning, repair and maintenance, etc.) and shipping.
For some heat exchangers operating under special conditions, it is also need to calculate the thermal stress during start-up and stop periods, calculate structural vibrations due to fluid flow, or calculate flow rates to reduce corrosion and structure. In short, structural design and thermal design are same important, the design of heat exchangers need to be considered two or more things, and should be coordinated

5. Design choice. After complete the thermal design and structural design of the heat exchangers, provide options, and then based on the evaluation criteria make decisions. The conditions of the selection are qualitative, such as mold manufacturing conditions, brazing furnace size, transport restrictions, delivery date, company policy and competitive strength, which all will affect the final choice.

  1. The first system cleaning in place or chemical washing is decidedly simpler but does not always allow you to obtain the desired effect it may not address deeply embedded or inaccessible residues and contaminants, leading to incomplete cleaning outcomes. In such cases, during Plate Type Heat Exchanger Maintenance work, disassembly and complete regeneration is a must.
