Describe the typical instrumentation used in monitoring the performance of a shell and tube heat exchangers
-Thermometers in the inlet and outlet of the tube and also inlet and outlet of the shell (4 thermometers) - Density meters, or specific gravity in inlets and outlets -Flow rate meters in the inlets of both shell and tube -Pressure meters in the inlets and
For shell and tube heat exchanger if this is a chiller or such. You need temperature, both in supply and return. The temperature on fluid inside the tube and the temperature outside the tube. Also their pressure. You also need to consider their flow. Give me the exact detail or application of the HX so I can help you further Also, if you have plate heat exchanger which is used in Energy Transfer Stations, you need this parameters. Chilled Water Supply Temperature Chilled Water Return Temperature Chilled Water Supply Flow Rate Chilled Water Return Flow Rate Chilled Water Energy Rate Modulating Valve Auto/Manual Status Pump On/Off Status Pump Normal/Fault Status Power Supply Healthy/Failure Status Pump Flow Status Pump Flow Rate Pump On/Off Control Chilled Water Supply Temperature Chilled Water Return Temperature Chilled Water Supply Flow Rate Chilled Water Return Flow Rate Differential Pressure
