Heat Exchanger Tube Bundle For Oil Refinery Project in Saudi Arabia, ASME SA213 TP316L heat Exchanger with ASME SA516 Gr.70 TubeSheet
Yuhong Group start to support this project from 2023 Dec., the project end user below Aramco & Total join venture company : Satorp, due to old design has problem , final the old heat exchangers face leak during the application , and then Satorp company sent the new request with their new idea to replace the heat exchanger tube bundle , change the heat exchanger tube from ASME SA179 to ASME SA213 TP316L , and Tubeshee change from ASME SA516 GR.70 to ASME SA516 GR.70 + both sides with 3mm cladding SS316L ,our engineer team rechecked thermal calculation , GA drawing , Mechanical Calculation , Final we submit full set technical documents to Satorp , and all other procedure documents & ITP, WPS, WPQ, PQR, all depend on ARAMCO system , after 14 months documents adjust , final we match Satorp company documents request , and we also i becamse the AVL company in China to make service for Satorp .
1. Key Applications of Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles
A. Oil & Gas Industry
- Crude Oil Refining: Used in pre-heaters, condensers, and coolers for processes like distillation, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming.
- Example: Cooling hydrocarbon streams in a shell-and-tube condenser after distillation.
- Natural Gas Processing: Tube bundles in gas coolers remove heat from compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG).
B. Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
- Reactor Cooling/Heating: Maintain temperature control in exothermic/endothermic reactions.
- Acid/Alkali Heat Exchange: Tube bundles made of titanium or Hastelloy resist corrosion from aggressive fluids (e.g., sulfuric acid, chlorinated solvents).
C. Power Generation
- Steam Condensers: Convert turbine exhaust steam back to water in thermal power plants.
- Feedwater Heaters: Preheat boiler feedwater using steam extracted from turbines (improves plant efficiency).
D. HVAC & Refrigeration
- Chillers: Tube bundles in evaporators/condensers transfer heat between refrigerants and water/air.
- District Heating: Heat exchangers transfer thermal energy from centralized plants to residential/commercial buildings.
E. Food & Beverage Industry
- Pasteurization: Stainless steel tube bundles heat/cool products like milk, juices, or beer while maintaining hygienic standards.
- CIP (Clean-in-Place) Systems: Designed for easy cleaning to prevent bacterial growth.
F. Marine & Offshore
- Seawater Cooling: Titanium tube bundles handle corrosive seawater in shipboard cooling systems.
- LNG Carriers: Tube bundles in cryogenic heat exchangers manage ultra-low temperatures (-160°C).
2. Tube Bundle Configurations
The choice of design depends on thermal performance, maintenance needs, and cost:
| Type | Application | Advantages |
| Fixed Tube Sheet | Stable temperature/pressure (e.g., HVAC, light chemical processes). | Simple design, low cost. |
| U-Tube Bundle | High thermal expansion (e.g., steam-to-water exchangers). | Absorbs thermal stress; no expansion joint. |
| Floating Head | Large temperature differences (e.g., refinery crude oil pre-heaters). | Easy maintenance; handles expansion. |
| Multi-Pass | High heat transfer efficiency (e.g., chemical reactors, boilers). | Enhances turbulence and heat transfer. |
3. Technical Considerations
a. Material Selection
- Stainless Steel (SS316/SS304): General-purpose fluids (water, oils).
- Titanium/Titanium Alloys: Seawater, chlorides, or acidic environments.
- Nickel Alloys (Inconel, Monel): High-temperature/pressure or hydrogen-rich fluids.
- Cupronickel (90/10 or 70/30): Marine applications (anti-fouling).
b. Tube Layout & Pitch
- Triangular Pitch: Maximizes tube count for compact designs (common in high-pressure systems).
- Square/Rotated Square Pitch: Easier cleaning (used in fouling-prone fluids).
c. Heat Transfer Optimization
- Internal Turbulators: Fins or twisted tapes inside tubes to enhance turbulence.
- External Low-Fin Tubes: Increase surface area for shell-side heat transfer.
d. Fouling Mitigation
- Electropolishing: Reduces surface roughness to prevent particle deposition.
- Online Cleaning Systems: Installations like AutoTap to remove scale without disassembly.
4. Industry Standards
- ASME BPVC Section VIII: Governs design and fabrication for pressure boundaries.
- TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) Standards: Classify exchangers into TEMA R, C, or B .
- API 660: Specific requirements for shell-and-tube exchangers in oil and gas.
