1.2 Responsibility
The manufacturer shall be responsible for the thermal design of the exchanger to the extent the properties of materials are correct on the data sheets. The manufacturer shall assume full responsibility that the materials are correct on the data sheets. The manufacturer shall assume full responsibility for the materials and workmanship on the exchanger. The installer shall be responsible that the units are correctly plumbed and adequately trapped. There should be no stress on the connections to the exchanger. It should be adequately attached to supporting members, not hung from its connections. Due care should be used in handling and installing the units so as to prevent any damage to the unit.
For U-tube style exchangers, the bend surface shall not be considered effective when calculating the heat transfer area. Unless otherwise specified, tri-clamp style fittings will be used on all product connections. Process materials shall be on the tube side of the exchanger. The heating/cooling medium shall be on the shell side of the exchanger.
6.1.2 Foundations
Foundations must be adequate so that exchangers will not settle and impose excessive strains on the exchanger. In concrete footings, pipe sleeves at least one size larger than bolt diameter slipped over the bolt and cast in place are best for this purpose, as they allow the bolt center to be adjusted after the foundation has set.
6.3.3 Vents
Vent valves should be provided so units can be purged to prevent vapor or gas binding. Special consideration must be given to discharge of hazardous or toxic fluids.
6.3.4 Drains
Drains may discharge to atmosphere, if permissible, or into a vessel at lower pressure. They should not be piped to a common closed manifold.
Each bolted joint should be first securely tightened; then, the diametrically staggered pattern should be repeated utilizing a torque wrench. Recommended torque should be a minimum of 40 ft-lbs but should not exceed 65 ft-lbs.
(5) Scrapers, rotating wire brushes, and other mechanical means for removing hard scale, coke or other deposits. (6) Employ services of a qualified organization that provides cleaning services. These organizations will check the nature of the deposits to be removed, furnish proper solvents and/or acid solutions containing inhibitors and provide equipment and personnel for a complete cleaning job.
Cleaning Precautions: (1) Tubes should not be cleaned by blowing steam through individual tubes since this heats the tube and may result in severe expansion strain, deformation of the tube or loosening of the tube to tubesheet joint. (2) When mechanically cleaning a tube bundle, care should be exercised to avoid damaging the tubes. (3) Cleaning compounds must be compatible with the metallurgy of the exchanger.

(*) Applies to both straight-tube and U-tube configurations (**) Applies to U-tube, removable tubebundle models only These O-ring model numbers are standard, off-the-shelf models. Replacement O-rings should be purchased in the material originally provided with your exchanger. Please refer to your heat exchanger drawing and Bill of Materials for elastomer composition.
