SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of heat exchangers according to TEMA class B specifications, specifically regarding nozzle sizes. Participants clarify that heat exchangers typically do not have nozzles, suggesting the user may be referring to inlet and outlet internal diameters (ID) instead. The lack of explicit requirements for nozzle sizes in the TEMA documentation is noted, leading to confusion about the design parameters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) standards
  • Familiarity with heat exchanger design principles
  • Knowledge of inlet and outlet internal diameter specifications
  • Basic concepts of fluid dynamics related to heat exchangers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research TEMA class B specifications for heat exchanger design
  • Learn about inlet and outlet internal diameter calculations for heat exchangers
  • Explore fluid dynamics principles relevant to heat exchanger performance
  • Investigate common design challenges in heat exchanger applications
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, thermal system designers, and professionals involved in heat exchanger design and optimization.

I am supposed to be designing a heat exchanger in accordance with TEMA class B, but I am not able to find requirements about nozzle sizes in the TEMA document.

Probably because heat exchangers don't have nozzles!

Maybe you meant something else? inlet and outlet ID?
