[MW:33809] Re: HEAT EXCHANGER CONSTRUCTION

One of thought is Nitrogen Purging  in the HEX tubes during PWHT of Shell  to Tube sheet , Tube sheet  to  Channel joints 

Can any one throw light on Nitrogen purging system and its effectiveness ?How it is done / system in market ?

This will keep DSS HEX tubes cool (< 300 Deg C) and serve the purpose 

Thanks and regards

Dear Experts 

One of HEX involves  following MOCs -

HEX tubes - SA 789 TYP 32205 

Tubesheet -SA 266 CL 2 CS - Tube sheet IS cladded with TYP S32205  overlay.

Shell side - CS -SA 516 GR 70 - 75mm thk 

Channel side - CS- SA 516 GR 70 - 75 mm thk 

PWHT is required for  Tube sheet to Shell welding and Tube sheet to Channel welding. These are butt welds with CS Weld metal .

PWHT is not required for  Tube sheet to HEX Tube  welding due to DSS tube to DSS cladding.

Pl advice for the  care that shall be taken during PWHT  of Tube sheet to Shell welding and Tube sheet to Channel welding.

Thanks and regards
