Description:

Over the past 20 years, RODbaffle heat exchangers have successfully been utilized to eliminate shellside flow-induced vibration problems, reduce shell side pressure losses, diminish shellside fouling, and improve shellside flow uniformity in many industrial heat exchange applications. To date, over 2000 RODbaffle heat exchangers have been fabricated for service in petrochemical refineries, chemical plants, gas processing facilities, ammonia plants, and offshore oil & gas gathering platforms throughout the world. RODbaffle heat exchanger single-phase thermal-hydraulic predictive methods are based on 14 different bare tube and low-finned tube research bundles, and three different test media. Single-phase thermal-hydraulic predictive methods are valid over Reynolds numbers ranging from 300 to 150,000 and Prandtl numbers ranging from 0.7 to 45. RODbaffle thermal-hydraulic correlations have been incorporated into two Phillips designed computer programs, P7302 and P7303, which allow RODbaffle exchangers to be easily sized for single phase, and two phase applications, respectively. RODbaffle heat exchangers have been fabricated with shell diameters ranging from 12 inches (305 mm) to 180 inches (4572 mm), and tube lengths extending to 80 feet (24.38 m).
