what is the differance between Horizental and vertical heat
exchanger?
Answer Posted / ossus
1.Thermosyphon type HE is vertical HE and Kettle type HE is horizontal HE.
2.in horizontal position, pressure drop is negligible and in vertical position,pressure drop is significant and high.
3. If viscosity of bottom product of distillation column is very high then vertical position preferred and if low then horizontal position preferred.
4 in vertical position high circulation of fluid of possible and low circulation in horizontal position.

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
