  • Patent number: 11494525
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a heat exchanger includes a structural model creation step (S1) of creating a structural model of a heat exchanger; a iron-linear model creation step (S4) of creating a iron-linear model in which a non-linear spring element in an out-of-plane direction, in which a load is generated only at me time of contact between a heat transfer tube and an anti-vibration member, is applied to an opposing portion between the heat transfer tube and the anti-vibration member in a structural model, and a load distribution acquisition step (S5) of performing analysis in which a load in the out-of-plane direction is applied to the non-linear model to acquire load distribution of the heat exchanger from a value of the load in each opposing portion.

  • Publication number: 20150219332
    Abstract: A heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device and a steam generator are provided. The heat exchanger tube vibration suppression device includes: a plurality of sleeves disposed in a heat exchanger tube with a predetermined gap in relation to an inner surface of the heat exchanger tube so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger tube; and a connecting member that connects the plurality of sleeves so as to be movable between a contracted position at which adjacent sleeves overlap at least partially and an extended position at which the amount of overlap of the adjacent sleeves is minimized. In this way, it is possible to suppress the vibration of the heat exchanger tube appropriately.
