Case Study on Double Tube Sheet Failure in Heat Exchangers

Barun Singh

Abstract: This case study was conducted at M/s Aker Solutions Pvt ltd as a part of Summer Training under the guidance of Shri Murali Mohan, Chief Engineer, and Vessels.  In the normal operations of a Double Tube Sheet, due to the presence of pressure and temperature differences of the working fluids, stresses tend to develop in the tube. This case study is about the failure of the tubes in between the tube sheets due to the above factors. Now TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufactures Association) also has suggested a design for the case, so we first use TEMA and find the respective stress values and then on the basis of the theoretical knowledge and with the help of reference books another or similar design is suggested and the values which were calculated using TEMA Standards are calculated and a comparison is drawn in between the two values.
