Heat exchangers on shell side

Figure 10-63. Maximum velocity for gases and vapors through heat exchangers on shell side.

Orientation of inlet and outlet nozzles should be veiy carefully decided, especially on the shell side. The possibility of short-circuiting (when inlet and outlet nozzles ate on the same side of the axis of a single-pass heat exchanger) is always there. In the case of multiple-pass heat exchangers (on shell side), there is a possibility of idle pockets at comers of baffles.
