U-shaped stainless steel pipes

U-shaped stainless steel pipes are commonly used in equipment such as heat exchange tubes, and there are many types, generally including floating head type, fixed tube sheet type, and U-shaped tube type. This time, we will talk about U-shaped pipes for everyone. Interested parties can take a look.

Stainless steel U-shaped tubes, each tube in a U-shaped shape, with both ends fixed on the same tube plate. Each tube can be freely retracted to solve the problem of thermal compensation. The disadvantage is that the inner wall of the pipe is difficult to clean, the pipe is difficult to replace, and there are fewer pipes arranged on the pipe plate. The advantages are simple structure, light weight, and suitable for high temperature and high pressure conditions.

In various comparisons, U-tube heat exchangers have fewer tube sheets than fixed tube sheet heat exchangers, and the number of leakage points can also be correspondingly reduced. U-tube heat exchangers have a wide range of applications, simple maintenance, and good operational flexibility.

In application, U-tube heat exchangers are generally used when the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger is small, the temperature difference between the shell side and the tube side is large, or the shell side medium is easily dirty, and the surface of the tube bundle needs to be cleaned frequently.

This is some knowledge about U-shaped stainless steel pipes that I will introduce to you. I hope this introduction can help you understand this content.
