    Heat Plate Spiral
AI Thread Summary
There are no specific design standards for spiral plate heat exchangers that are directly comparable to TEMA for shell and tube heat exchangers. The discussion seeks clarification on whether "spiral plate" refers to helical type baffles and requests a description of spiral plate heat exchangers. It also distinguishes between thermal analysis and structural (stress) analysis, similar to TEMA's approach. Understanding these aspects is crucial for effective design and analysis of spiral plate heat exchangers. The conversation highlights the need for standardized guidelines in this area.

Hi guys !
Is there any Standards for thermal designing of spiral plate heat exchanger, like TEMA for shell and tube heat exchangers ?

By Spiral plate, do you mean helical type baffles? can you describe a spiral plate heat exchanger, and are you asking about the thermal analysis, or structural (stress) analysis as in TEMA?
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
