AI Technical Summary
In traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers, the thermal stress generated by the thermal expansion and contraction of the heat exchange tubes cannot be released, leading to tube bending, deformation, or even breakage, thus reducing the service life.
Employing a floating head assembly and a fixed assembly, the floating head tube sheet and floating head cover plate move freely within the shell assembly, releasing thermal stress, and the design of hook rings and connecting rings improves sealing performance and ease of maintenance.
It effectively releases thermal stress, extends the service life of heat exchange tubes, improves maintenance convenience, reduces the risk of fluid leakage, and shortens replacement time.
