What Is A Good Method Of Minimizing Shell Side Pressure Drop In A Shell And Tube Exchanger? |
|
Answer» When SHELL PRESSURE drop is critical and impingement protection is required, use rods or tube protectors in top rows INSTEAD of a plate. These create LESS pressure drop and better distribution than an impingement plate. An impengement plate causes an abrupt 90-degree turn of the shell STREAM, which causes extra pressure drop.
