  • Publication number: 20240085126
    Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly including an elongated tubular heat exchanger enclosure defining an interior chamber. A tube sheet is positioned within the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure separating the interior chamber into a shell side and a channel side. The interior portion is configured to removably receive a tube bundle positioned within the shell side of the interior chamber. An annular sleeve member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure. An annular elastic torsion member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger such that the sleeve member is positioned between the tube sheet and the elastic torsion member. The elastic torsion member has an inner circumference deflectable relative to its outer circumference for torsioning the elastic torsion member.

  • Patent number: 10527357
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shell and tube heat exchanger that includes, inter alia, an elongated cylindrical shell that defines a longitudinal axis for the heat exchanger and an internal chamber. The shell has at least one feed gas inlet and feed gas outlet formed in an outer wall for allowing a feed gas to enter and exit the internal chamber. At least one tube sheet is associated with an end of the elongated shell and a plurality of circular baffles are longitudinally spaced apart within the internal chamber of the shell for redirecting feed gas flow within the internal chamber. The heat exchanger also includes a tube bundle which has a plurality of tubes for allowing effluent gas to traverse from an inlet plenum through the internal chamber of the shell to an outlet plenum. Additionally, a shroud distributor is arranged and configured to direct feed gas flow from the feed gas inlet to the internal chamber proximate the at least one tube sheet.
