Description
The development in the field of heat exchangers is determined decisively by practical needs. On one hand theses apparatus should operate under extreme conditions (for example high pressure and temperature), on the other hand the employment of material should be minimized and has to come to a highest possible thermal power per area and space volume.
These requirements as well have conducted the use of new materials as to the development of novel heat exchanging areas. So, for example, alloyed steels, titanium, graphite, glass and copper alloys could be classified as parent materials meanwhile. At the same time numerous ideas to raise the heat transfer found their way into practice, where they often constitute the basis of modern solution deposits.
This PDF guidebook gives a still actual overview regarding the technology and material engineering of tubes typically used in tube-bundle-heat exchangers. It covers thermal and mechanical attributes, heat transfer optimization via inline structures, integration of tubes as basic elements of heat exchangers, safety in operation and corrosion prevention, damage issues and removal.
