APPENDIX-2
E-2 INSTALLATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
E-2.1 HEAT EXCHANGER SETTINGS
E-2.11
CLEARANCE FOR
DISMANTLING
For straight tube exchangers fitted with removable bundles, provide sufficient clearance at the
stationary head end to permit removal of the bundle from the shell and provide adequate space beyond
the rear head to permit removal of the shell cover and/or floating head cover.
For fixed tubesheet exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at one end to permit withdrawal and
replacement of the tubes, and enough space beyond the head at the opposite end to permit removal of
the bonnet or channel cover.
For U-tube heat exchangers, provide sufficient clearance at the stationary head end to permit
withdrawal of the tube bundle, or at the opposite end to permit removal of the shell.
E-2.12
FOUNDATIONS
Foundations must be adequate so that exchangers will not settle and impose excessive strains on the
exchanger. Foundation bolts should be set to allow for setting inaccuracies. In concrete footings, pipe
sleeves at least one size larger than bolt diameter slipped over the bolts and cast in place are best for
this purpose, as thy allow the bolt center to be adjusted after the foundation has set.
E-2.13
FOUNDATION BOLTS
Foundation bolts should be loosened at one end of the unit to allow free expansion of shells. Slotted
holes in supports are provided for this purpose.
E-2.14
LEVELING
Exchangers must be set level and square so that pipe connections may be made without forcing.
E-2.2 CLEANLINESS PROVISIONS
E-2.21
CONNECTION PROTECTORS
All exchanger openings should be inspected for foreign material. Protective plugs and covers should not
be removed until just prior to installation.
E-2.22
DIRT REMOVAL
The entire system should be clean before starting operation. Under some conditions, the use of
strainers in the piping may be required.
E-2.23
CLEANING FACILITIES
Convenient means should be provided for cleaning the unit as suggested under "Maintenance of Heat
Exchangers,"Paragraph E-4.
E-2.3 FITTINGS AND PIPING
E-2.31
BY-PASS VALVES
It may be desirable for purchaser to provide valves and by-passes in the piping system to permit
inspection and repairs.
E-2.32
TEST CONNECTIONS
When not integral with the exchanger nozzles, thermometer well and pressure gage connections
should be installed close to the exchanger in the inlet and outlet piping.
E-2.33
VENTS
Vent valves should be provided by purchaser so units can be purged to prevent vapor or gas binding.
Special consideration must be given to discharge of hazardous or toxic fluids.
E-2.34
DRAINS
Drains may discharge to atmosphere, if permissible, or into a vessel at lower pressure. They should not
be piped to a common closed manifold.
E-2.35
PULSATION AND
VIBRATION
In all installations, care should be taken to eliminate or minimize transmission of fluid pulsations and
mechanical vibrations to the heat exchangers.
E-2.36
SAFETY RELIEF
DEVICES
The ASME Code defines the requirements for safety relief devices. When specified by the purchaser,
the manufacturer will provide the necessary connections for the safety relief devices. The size and type
of the required connections will be specified by the purchaser. The purchaser will provide and install the
required relief devices.

APPENDIX-3
E-3 OPERATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
E-3.1
DESIGN AND OPERATING
CONDITIONS
Equipment must not be operated at conditions which exceed those specified on the name
plate(s).
E-3.2
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Before placing any exchanger in operation, reference should be made to the exchanger
drawings, specification sheet(s) and name plate(s) for any special instructions. Local safety
and health regulations must be considered. Improper start-up or shut-down sequences,
particularly of fixed tubesheet units, may cause leaking of tube-to-tubesheet and/or bolted
flanged joints.
E-3.21
START-UP OPERATION
Most exchangers with removable tube bundles may be placed in service by first establishing
circulation of the cold medium, followed by the gradual introduction of the hot medium. During start-
up all vent valves should be opened and left open until all passages have been purged of air and are
completely filled with fluid. For fixed tubesheet exchangers, fluids must be introduced in a manner to
minimize differential expansion between the shell and tubes.
E-3.22
SHUT-DOWN OPERATION
For exchangers with removable bundles, the units may be shut down by first gradually stopping the
flow of the hot medium and then stopping the flow of the cold medium. If it is necessary to stop the
flow of cold medium, the circulation of hot medium through the exchanger should also be stopped.
For fixed tubesheet exchangers, the unit must be shut down in a manner to minimize differential
expansion between shell and tubes. When shutting down the system, all units should be drained
completely when there is the possibility of freezing or corrosion damage. To guard against water
hammer, condensate should be drained from steam heaters and similar apparatus during start-up
or shut-down. To reduce water retention after drainage, the tube side of water cooled exchangers
should be blown out with air.
E-3.23
TEMPERATURE SHOCKS
Exchangers normally should not be subjected abrupt temperature fluctuations. Hot fluid
must not be suddenly introduced when the unit is cold, nor cold fluid suddenly introduced
when the unit is hot.
E-3.24
BOLTED JOINTS
Heat exchangers are pressure tested before leaving the manufacturer's shop in accordance
with ASME Code requirements. However, normal relaxing of the gasketed joints may occur
in the interval between testing in the manufacturer's shop and installation at the jobsite.
Therefore, all external bolted joints may require retightening after installation and, if
necessary, after the exchanger has reached operating temperature.
E-3.24.1
It is possible for the bolt stress to decrease after initial tightening, because of slow creep or
relaxation of the gasket, particularly in the case of the softer gasket materials.
OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL _ Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger
14
E-3.24.2
Excessive initial bolt stress can cause yielding of the bolt itself. This is especially likely with
bolts of small diameter or bolting having relatively low yield values such as stainless steels.
E-3.25 RECOMMENDED BOLT TIGHTENING PROCEDURE
E-3.25.1
All gasket joint surfaces shall be clean and free of oil or debris. If the gasket requires
assistance to be held in place for installation, grease shall not be used. Any tape applied
to a spiral wound gasket for shipping or assembly shall be removed prior to installing the
gasket. No tape, string or other object will be allowed to remain on the gasket surface once
assembly is complete.
E-3.25.2
Thoroughly clean threads, nut faces and the flange where nut face bears. If roughness, burrs
or any irregularity is present, dress it out to as smooth a surface as possible.
E-3.25.3
Thoroughly lubricate threads on studs, nuts and contacting surfaces on nuts and flange.
E-3.25.4
The joint shall ve snugged up squarely so the entire flange face bears uniformly on the
gasket.
E-3.25.5
"Tightening of the bolts shall be applied in at least three equally spaced increments using a
cross bolting pattern as illustrated in Figure E-3.25.5.
E-3.25.6
Once the cross bolting patterns are complete; a circular chase pattern shall be applied until
no nut rotation occurs.

APPENDIX-4
E-4. MAINTENANCE OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
E-4.1
INSPECTION OF UNIT
At regular intervals and as frequently as experience indicates, an examination should be made of the
interior and exterior condition of the unit. Neglect in keeping all tubes clean may result in complete
stoppage of flow through some tubes which could cause severe thermal strains, leaking tube joints,
or structural damage to other components. Sacrificial anodes, when provided, should be inspected to
determine whether they should be cleaned or replaced.
E-4.11
INDICATIONS OF
FOULING
Exchangers subject to fouling or scaling should be cleaned periodically. A light sludge or scale coating
on the tube greatly reduces its efficiency. A marked increase in pressure drop and/or reduction in
performance usually indicates cleaning is necessary. The unit should first be checked for air or vapor
binding to confirm that this is not the cause for the reduction in performance. Since the difficulty of
cleaning increases rapidly as the scale thickness or deposit increases, the intervals between cleanings
should not be excessive.
E-4.12
DISASSEMBLY FOR
INSPECTION OR
CLEANING
Before disassembly, the user must assure himself that the unit has been depressurized, vented and
drained, neutralized and/or purged of hazardous material.
To inspect the inside of the tubes and also make them accessible for cleaning, the following procedures
should be used:
(1) Stationary Head End
(a) Type A, C, D & N, remove cover only
(b) Type B, remove bonnet
(2) Rear Head End
(a) Type L, N & P, remove cover only
(b) Type M, remove bonnet
(c) Type S & T, remove shell cover and floating head cover
(d) Type W, remove channel cover or bonnet
E-4.13
LOCATING TUBE LEAKS
The following procedures may be used to locate perforated or split tubes and leaking joints between
tubes and tubesheets. In most cases, the entire front face of each tubesheet will be accessible for
inspection. The point where water escapes indicates a defective tube or tube-to-tubesheet joint.
(1) Units with removable channel cover: Remove channel cover and apply hydraulic pressure in the
shell.
(2) Units with bonnet type head: For fixed tubesheet units where tubesheets are an integral part of
the shell, remove bonnet and apply hydraulic pressure in the shell. For fixed tubesheet units where
tubesheets are not an integral part of the shell and for units with removable bundles, remove
bonnet, re-bolt tubesheet to shell or install test flange or gland, whichever is applicable, and apply
hydraulic pressure in the shell. See Figure E-4.13-1 for typical test flange and test gland.
OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL _ Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger
16
E-4.13
LOCATING TUBE LEAKS
(3) Units with Type S or T floating head: Remove channel cover or bonnet, shell cover and floating head
cover. Install test ring and bolt in place with gasket and packing. Apply hydraulic pressure in the shell. A
typical test ring is shown in Figure E-4.13-2. When a test ring is not available it is possible to locate leaks
in the floating head end by removing the shell cover and applying hydraulic pressure in the tubes. Leaking
tube joints may then be located by sighting through the tube lanes. Care must be exercised when testing
partially assembled exchangers to prevent over extension of expansion joints or overloading of tubes
and/or tube-to-tubesheet joints.
(4) Hydrostatic test should be performed so that the temperature of the metal is over 60 F
(16 C) unless the materials of construction have a lower nil-ductility transition temperature.
E-4.2
TUBE BUNDLE
REMOVAL AND
HANDLING
To avoid possible damage during removal of a tube bundle from a shell, a pulling device should be
attached to eyebolts screwed into the tubesheet. If the tubesheet does not have tapped holes for
eyebolts, steel rods or cables inserted throught tubes and attached to bearing plates may be used.
The bundle should be supported on the tube baffles, supports or tubesheets to prevent damage to the
tubes.
E-4.3 CLEANING TUBE BUNDLES
E-4.31
CLEANING METHODS
The heat transfer surfaces of heat exchangers should be kept reasonably clean to assure satisfactory
performance. Convenient means for cleaning should be made available.
Heat exchangers may be cleaned by either chemical or mechanical methods. The method selected
must be the choice of the operator of the plant and will depend on the type of deposit and the facilities
available in the plant. Following are several cleaning procedures that may be considered:
(1) Circulating hot wash oil or light distillate through tubes or shell at high velocity may effectively remove
sludge or similar soft deposits.
(2) Some salt deposits may be washed out by circulating hot fresh water.
(3) Commercial cleaning compounds are available for removing sludge or scale provided hot wash oil or
water is not available or does not give satisfactory results.
(4) High pressure water jet cleaning.
(5) Scrapers, rotating wire brushes, and other mechanical means for removing hard scale, coke, or other
deposits.
(6) Employ services of a qualified organization that provides cleaning services. These organizations will
check the nature of the deposits to be removed, furnish proper solvents and/or acid solutions containing
inhibitors, and provide equipment and personnel for a complete cleaning job.
APPENDIX-4
OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL _ Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger
17
E-4.32
CLEANING
PRECAUTIONS
(1) Tubes should not be cleaned by blowing through individual tubes since this heats the tube and may
result in severe expansion strain, deformation of the tube, or loosening of the tube-to-tubesheet joint.
(2) When mechanically cleaning a tube bundle, care should be exercised to avoid damaging the tubes.
(3) Cleaning compounds must be compatible with the metallurgy of the exchanger.
E-4.4
TUBE EXPANDING
A suitable tube expander should be used to tighten a leaking tube joint. Care should be taken to ensure
that tubes are not over expanded.
E-4.5
GASKET REPLACEMENT
Gaskets and gasket surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned and should be free of scratches and other
defects. Gaskets should be properly positioned before attempting to retighten bolts. It is recommended
that when a heat exchanger is dismantled for any cause, it be reassembled with new gaskets. This will
tend to prevent future leaks and/or damage to the gasket seating surfaces of the heat exchanger.
Composition gaskets become dried out and brittle so that they do not always provide an effective seal
when reused. Metal or metal jacketed gaskets, when compressed initially, flow to match their contact
surfaces. In so doing they are work hardened and, if reused, may provide an imperfect seal or result in
deformation and damage to the gasket contact surfaces of the exchanger.
Bolted joints and flanges are designed for use with the particular type of gasket specified. Substitution of
a gasket of different construction or improper dimensions may result in leakage and damage to gasket
surfaces. Therefore, any gasket substitutions should be of compatible design. Any leakage at a gasketed
joint should be rectified and not permitted to persist as it may result in damage to the gasket surfaces.
Metal Jacketed type gaskets are widely used. When these are used with a tongue and groove joint
without a nubbin, the gasket should be installed so that the tongue bears on the seamless side of the
gasket jacket. When a nubbin is used, the nubbin should bear on the seamless side.
E-4.6
DIAPHRAGM
INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
(1) Position diaphragm and tighten to remove all voids between diaphragm and component to which it
will be welded. This may be accomplished by bolting the cover in place, by a series of clamps or any other
means that guarantees that the diaphragm will not move during final bolt-up and crack the weld.
(2) Make the diaphragm to component weld and liquid penetrant inspect.
(3) Install cover and tighten studs to required torque or tension.
(4) Liquid penetrant inspect weld again after tightening studs.
E-4.7
SPARE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The procurement of spare or replacement parts from the manufacturer will be facilitated if the correct
name for the part, as shown in Section 1, Table N-2, of these Standards is given, together with the serial
number, type, size, and other information from the name plate. Replacement parts should be purchased
from the original manufacturer.
E-4.8
PLUGGING OF TUBES
In U-tube heat exchangers, and other exchanger of special design, it may not be feasible to remove
and replace defective tubes. Defective tube may be plugged using commercially available tapered plugs
with ferrules or tapered only plugs which may or may not be seal welded. Excessive tube plugging may
result in reduced thermal performance, higher pressure drop, and/or mechanical damage. It is the user's
responsibility to remove plugs and neutralize the bundle prior to sending it to a shop for repairs.
