PASS/EQUIP → Working with PASS/EQUIP → Data input → Heat Exchanger with U-shaped tubes
Data input is similar to heat exchangers with stationary tube plates. The tube plate must always have a pass partition and tubes must be arranged symmetrically. Tube sheet for this heat exchanger can be performed similar to Heat Exchanger with stationary tube plates.
Besides, as per GOST 34233.7-2017, a variant of tube sheet clamped between the flanges is additionally available (Fig. 1).
