Workshop
The purpose of this exercise is to design a very large heat exchanger
requiring up to two shells in parallel. This example will take you
through entering data via the normal data input forms.
The Design calculation will determine the shell length and diameter,
the nozzle sizes, the number of tubes and passes, the number of baffles
and baffle cut. Other details such as shell and header type, baffle type,
tube type and layout will remain as initially set.
Data can be entered on the TEMA sheet in any of the areas marked light
blue. The data in this sheet is linked to the normal data input forms in
TASC and vice versa so either method of input can be used at any time
(the next example illustrates the use of the main input forms). As you
move the cursor around the sheet you will find in some cases drop
down boxes become available. Help may be obtained at any time by
placing the cursor on an item and pressing F1. You may also enter data
in grey fields but these data are not necessary for a run of TASC - they
are treated simply as comments.
The TASC design logic will attempt to optimise the heat transfer against
the allowable pressure drop on both the shell and tube sides. It also has
built in heuristic rules, which will stop it searching once it realizes that
further calculations are pointless. As a general rule, TASC will attempt
to design small diameter single pass exchangers before increasing the
tube length, shell diameter, number of passes and number of shells.

4. Select the Cold Side tab and repeat as before, then click OK.
5. From menu, click onto Input and then Exchanger Geometry and
enter the exchanger as a BEM, TEMA Class as C, then the
Maximum Number of Parallel Shells to 2 and the Side for Hot
Stream to shell-side.
6. Select the Exchanger Details tab and set the Counter Current in
First Tube Pass to yes.
7. If you then select the Material Properties tab you will notice that
the tube material is by default set at carbon steel.
8. Click OK and then select Bundle Geometry from the Input
menu.

9. From the Tube Details tab, enter the tube outside diameter, tube
wall thickness, the maximum and minimum tube lengths and
ensure that the tube layout is set at 30°. Now select the Bundle
Layout tab.
