Sizing of a Heat Exchanger

Hello

I am in the process of making a calculation of the dimensions of a glycerine cooler (tube and calender exchanger) and I want to know how to choose the diameter of the tube sheet and especially the shoulders of the gasket and the bolting area.

If there are links or documentation I will be delighted

Looking forward to your reply, please accept my best regards.

Kind regards.

For all types of heat exchangers

You need to know the delta t you want 

and the quantity of the product to be cooled 

which will give you a power to create preferably with a good tolerance

So now you have your needs 

with which product you will cool 

Water, nitrogen?

It is the choice of the cooling product and its volume hour that will give you the power to install

then it's the contact surface that will correspond to the proportional of your cooling request

Connection joints will be defined according to the type of product and the passage section
