Design & Optimization of Equipment for Insertion of Tube Bundle of Heat Exchanger
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Presently pressure vessel industries, manufacturing screw plug heat exchanger implements manual way for inserting tube bundle against shell. This manual way of inserting tube bundle inside shell involves challenges such as centrealignment of shell & tube bundle, manual pushing of tube bundle inside shell. This method of insertion may either leads to damage of inner cladding of shell or baffle of tube bundle. Rather than this, manual method of tube bundle insertion needs more labors & more time is needed to complete the entire activity. This article proposes semi-automatic equipment which makes tube bundle insertion process more safe & reliable. Using this equipment around 90% time saving can be achieved for tube bundle insertion activity with reduced numbers of labors as well.
