SCOPE
This specification covers the general requirements for the thermal and mechanical design,
materials, fabrication, workmanship, inspection, testing and supply of ACHE and is intended
to supplement the minimum requirements of the applicable codes and standards.
In case Purchaser furnishes thermal design, Clause-7.0 under Section-7 of this specification on
thermal design is not to be considered. In case thermal and mechanical designs are done and
engineering drawings furnished by Purchaser, then details given in these engineering drawings,
take precedence over this specification
This specification shall not be considered limiting and it shall be Vendor's responsibili
comply with all requirements of Material Requisition/Purchase Requisition/Bid Documents
(referred to as enquiry documents), to which this specification is attached.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
‘The Standard applicable for ACHEs shall be API Standard 661, Sixth Edition February 2006
except to the extent modified hereunder. The section, paragraph and figure numbers refer to
those used in API 661. "New” applies to entirely new paragraph presently not included and to
be inserted in the numbering order of API-661. "Addition" applies to an addition to the
original Para. "Modified" applies to modification of applicable portion of the API-661 Para.
GENERAL.
The pressure design code shall be ASME Section VIII Division 1, unless specified
(Modified) otherwise. Hereinafter referred to as Code,
44
For ACHE to be installed in India, Vendor shall comply with all applicable local
(Addition) regulations like approval from CMRI, PESO, and CCE etc. for all electrical and

instrument items.
PROPOSALS
‘The proposal shall include power consumed by the motor and required motor HP.
DOCUMENTATION
‘Vendor shall furnish documents as per Vendor Data Requirements specified in the requisition.
DESIGN
‘Thermal Design
The Vendor shall do thermal rating when specified. Thermal design proposed by the Vendor
will have to be in order as per either HTRI or HTFS software. This includes adequacy of heat
transfer area and tube and airside pressure drops. If any modifications are required to be
carried out by the Vendor in order to make the thermal design acceptable as per either HTRI
or HTFS software, the same will be done without any cost and delivery implications.
If an ACHE has to satisfy more than one process condition, separate "Equipment Data Sheet"
shall be furnished for each condition. The relevant process condition number shall be given in
the heading of each sheet.

7.0.3 ACHE design shall take into account operation at part load. This is important for viscous
materials (>=SeP) and those with high pour points. Vendor shall consider the following:
The inside tube wall temperature shall be a minimum of 10 °C (18 °F) above the pour point.
This condition shall be satisfied for the lowest part-load design case with the air entering at
winter design temperature. The provision of counter or parallel flow piping arrangement, air
re-circulation and/or heating coils may be necessary to achieve this.
In cases where the process fluid may solidify or become highly viscous when flow is
interrupted or for systems where there is a maximum allowable cooling rate, e.g. deposition of
ammonium carbonate, steam heating & control shall be incorporated for start up & shut down.
7.0.4 The varying air temperature across the rows of a single pass condenser results in unequal
performance. Employing variable fins per inch in the individual rows with the lowest in the
bottom row and highest in the top row should eliminate this.
7.1 Tube Bundle Design
710 Vendor shall strictly follow the design information issued by the Purchaser. Any
(New) comment and/or reservations shall be resolved with the Purchaser at the bidding stage
Reservations or deviations not accepted during bidding stage shall not be reopened

(Addition) _~ parts of plenum etc.). However these gaps shall be limited to 0.5 mm (maximum).
TALI3 ‘The bundle side frame shall have minimum 5 mm thickness for tube lengths less than
(New) 6 mand bundle width up to 2 m and shall have 8 mm thickness (minimum) for greater
tube lengths or bundle widths. Only one joint is permitted in the frame. The weld, if
any, shall be full penetration weld, shall be ground flush from inside and DP tested.
Tadad Tube to tube sheet joints
(New) Tube to tube sheet joints shall be expanded type except that the tube to tube sheet
{joints shall be welded for the following cases:
a) Critical service requirements such as lethal, hydrogen service with hydrogen
partial pressure > 7 kg/em? (g), et
b) For duplex and super duplex materials where reliable expanded joints are
difficult to achieve.
©) When specified in Process Licensor's requirements or datasheet.
4) Tube hardness or yield strength exceeds that of tube sheet.
e) ‘When design pressure > 50 kg/cm’ (g) and design temperature is > 400°C.
£) When design pressure > 70 kg/em? (g) and design temperature is > 300°C.
2) Forsourservice with 8S tubes and tube sheet.
713 Tube Bundle Design Temperature
731 ACHE MDMT shall be taken lower of 0 °C or the design temperature specified in the
