3. GENERAL 3.1 Shell-and-tube heat exchangers shall conform to the requirements of this Guide except as modified and supplemented by the project specifications and EGE 13-D-10 or equivalent data sheets. The project specifications shall include all mandatory statutory rules and regulations that apply. Any such requirements that are in addition to, or more stringent than, Mobil requirements shall take precedence. 3.2 Shell-and-tube heat exchangers shall conform to the requirements of API Standard 660 and to TEMA Standards except as modified by this Guide. 3.3 Vendors shall comply with the requirements of EGE 00-C-4 except as amended herein.

4. HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN 4.1 4.1.1 General Foreign Codes

Heat exchangers that are required to conform to recognized foreign codes shall also comply with the following additional requirements: (a) The minimum design thickness (fabricated thickness less specified corrosion allowance) shall not be less than that obtained by means of the appropriate formula in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, using the allowable stress and joint efficiency permitted by the applicable local codes. (b) When the allowable design stress exceeds 115 percent of that permitted by the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1, for the equivalent material, the following requirements shall be complied with: (1) All buttwelded seams shall be completely radiographed when the fabricated shell thickness exceeds 19 mm ( in.).

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 13-B-10 1991

PAGE 4 OF 44 FEBRUARY 1991

(2) Reinforcement of openings in shells and heads shall be in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1. Exception: When the ratio of shell thickness to shell inside diameter is greater than 0.02 and the shell thickness is greater than 25 mm (1 in.) (excluding corrosion allowance), two-thirds of the required reinforcement shall be within a distance equal to the inside radius of the opening plus the factor 0.5 Rt [R = shell or head radius, mm (in); t = thickness of shell, mm (in)] the distance shall be measured along the shell from the centerline of the opening. 4.1.2 Exchanger Type

Exchangers shall be of the removable bundle type, with floating head or U-tube construction, unless otherwise specified in the project specifications. Tubes shall be accessible for inspection, cleanout, and replacement. With the exception of seawater service, U-tube bundle construction is preferred to floating head design for services where the tubeside fouling resistance does not exceed 0.00053 mC C/W (0.003 hCftCF/Btu). Straight tubes shall be used for seawater service. Subject to Mobil approval, U-tube bundles may also be used for: (a) higher tubeside fouling resistances, provided the ability to clean U-tubes has been demonstrated in like or similar service, and (b) services in which the potential for leakage of a floating head gasket cannot be tolerated. For split-ring and pull-through floating head requirements, see Paragraph 5.6.3 (Addition). Fixed tubesheet exchangers may be used, when approved by Mobil, for services where the shellside fluid is nonfouling [fouling resistance does not exceed 0.00018 mCC/W (0.001 hCftCF/Btu)], or where the shellside fouling can be effectively removed by chemical or solvent cleaning. 4.1.3 Single-Pass Tubes

The design of exchangers with a single pass on the tubeside shall ensure uniform distribution of the fluid in the tubes and prevent direct impingement of the incoming fluid on the face of the tubesheet. To ensure uniform fluid distribution in the tubes, the ratio of friction pressure drop through the bundle to entrance plus exit losses (in channel and floating head) should be a minimum of 3 to 1. Impingement protection is generally accomplished by the provision of a perforated plate installed in the inlet floating head or by conical channels. 4.1.4 Interchangeability

As many tube bundles as practical shall be interchangeable. Where designing for such maximum interchangeability increases the cost of an item, a comparison between this increase and the cost of a separate spare bundle shall be submitted. Shell diameters shall be standardized insofar as feasible to provide maximum interchangeability. 4.1.5 Thermosyphon Reboilers

For thermosyphon reboilers, the recommended range of vaporization is 25 to 33.3 percent by weight. In clean service, where the fouling resistance does not exceed 0.00026 mCC/W (0.0015 hCftCF/Btu), the vaporization may be increased to a maximum of 40 percent by weight. Horizontal thermosyphon reboilers shall have centrally located single inlet and outlet shell nozzles when the tube length is no greater than the smaller of 3 m (10 ft) or five times the shell diameter. Double inlet and outlet shell nozzles shall be used when the tube length exceeds five times the shell diameter. Sufficient space shall be provided at the top of the bundle to allow the vapor to flow freely to the outlet nozzle. The cross-sectional dome area above the bundle shall not be less than the area of one outlet shell

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE

EGE 13-B-10 1991

nozzle. The outlet shell nozzle pressure drop shall not exceed 1.4 kPa (0.2 psi). Mean temperature differences (MTDs) for thermosyphon reboilers shall be based on Paragraph 4.2.1 of this Guide. 4.1.6 Bundle Rotation

Where feasible, exchangers shall be designed so that 180 degree rotation of the tube bundle is possible to compensate for unequal corrosion loss, with no alterations other than changing the impingement baffle location (see Paragraph 4.2.7 of this Guide). In some instances, providing for bundle rotation will require extra pass partition grooves to be machined into the tubesheet. These extra pass partition grooves shall be protected against corrosion by "dummy" pass partition ribs in the channel and extra pass partition ribs in the channel-to-tubesheet gaskets. 4.1.7 Two-Pass Shells

Two-pass shells (TEMA Type F) shall not be used unless specified or approved by Mobil. When these shells are used, removable bundles shall have a shroud to completely enclose one of the shell passes, plus Lamiflex strips to prevent bypassing around the shroud (see Paragraph 5.7.5.8 for Lamiflex strip requirements). Nonremovable bundles shall have a welded-in longitudinal baffle. 4.1.8 Fluid Location

The choice of which fluid shall pass through the tubes, if not indicated on the data sheet, should be made on the following basis: (a) Cooling water tubeside. (Water on the shellside is not recommended because of inherent corrosion problems arising from pocketing and deposits at baffle dead corners.) (b) (c) (d) Inhibited tempered water shellside or tubeside. High-pressure fluids tubeside. The more corrosive fluid tubeside.

(e) More fouling fluids tubeside, except where both fluids are fouling. In this case, the more viscous fluid should be on the shellside. (f) Mixed-phase fluids or large-volume condensing vapors shellside.

(g) Where difference in single-phase flowrates (either all liquid or all vapor) is considerable, the smaller flowrate shellside. It should be recognized that, in many instances, these recommendations may be conflicting. Therefore, alternative designs should be investigated and the most economical design (including maintenance costs) should be selected. 4.1.9 Double Tubesheets

Where interstream leakage between the tubeside and shellside cannot be tolerated, the use of U-tubes with double tubesheets shall be considered. Double tubesheets provide greater assurance against inter-stream leakage than seal welded tube-to-tubesheet joints but are more expensive. A space of 25 mm (1 in.) minimum between tubesheets shall be provided, together with an outside wrapper plate (welded to the outside periphery of both tubesheets), to protect the exposed tubes and to collect and vent or drain any fluid

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 13-B-10 1991

PAGE 6 OF 44 FEBRUARY 1991

leakage. The outside wrapper plate shall be designed for 350 kPa gage (50 psig) to permit air testing of tube joints. Integral double tubesheets (that is, single tubesheets machined to simulate double tubesheets) may be used as an alternative to the double tubesheet design. 4.1.10 Shell Diameter

When exchangers are predesigned either by Mobil or the contractor, the specified shell diameters are approximate and the vendor shall furnish the heat transfer surface indicated on EGE 13-D-10. The vendor shall provide the necessary shell diameter to accommodate inlet shell nozzle impingement plate requirements and the entrance and exit velocity limitations stated in Paragraphs 5.7.4.1 through 5.7.4.3 (Complete Substitutions). 4.1.11 Fixed Tubesheets

Fixed tubesheet exchangers shall be designed for the differential expansion that occurs when the shellside is at ambient temperature and the tubeside is at maximum inlet fluid temperature under clean conditions. 4.1.12 Tube Joint Loads

Allowable loads for tube-to-tubesheet joints shall be established on the basis of the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1, Appendix A. 4.1.13 Tube Vibration

The vendor shall check all tube bundles for flow-induced or sonic vibration and shall include the necessary mechanical features to minimize vibration. The vendor shall supply a copy of the results to Mobil for review and approval. 4.2 4.2.1 Thermal Design MTD

A weighted mean temperature difference (MTD) shall be used when heat release curves are nonlinear. The vendor shall specify on EGE 13-D-10 if the MTD is weighted. If weighted by individual zone heat transfer coefficients, the vendor shall so indicate. MTDs for recirculating thermosyphon and kettle reboilers shall be based on isothermal boiling at the outlet temperature. MTDs for once-through thermosyphon reboilers shall be calculated in the normal way using terminal temperatures and the shape of the heat curve. In order to compensate for boiling temperature variations which may occur due to operating pressure changes, all once-through reboilers shall be designed for 110 percent of the specified duty. 4.2.2 Tube Inserts

Tube inserts shall not be used for turbulence promotion. 4.2.3 Fouling

The fouling resistance shall be indicated on EGE 13-D-10. When not specified, the fouling resistance specified in TEMA Standards shall be used. 4.2.4 Pressure Drop

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE

FEBRUARY 1991 PAGE 7 OF 44

EGE 13-B-10 1991

(a) The allowable pressure drop shall be indicated on EGE 13-D-10. Where an increase of 10 percent or less in the specified allowable pressure drop permits a reduction in exchanger size, an alternative quotation for the smaller exchanger may be submitted for consideration. Conflicts between minimum velocity and maximum pressure drop shall be brought to Mobils attention. (b) Unless otherwise specified on EGE 13-D-10, or limited by system hydraulics, the following allowable pressure drops shall be used: (1) (2) (3) For fluids having a viscosity less than 2 mPaCs (2 cP): 70 kPa (10 psi). For viscosities in the range of 2 to 5 mPaCs (2 to 5 cP): 105 to 140 kPa (15 to 20 psi). For viscosities higher than 5 mPaCs (5 cP): 175 to 210 kPa (25 to 30 psi).

The viscosities indicated are the average values at exchanger bulk flowing conditions. The pressure drop recommendation in Item (3) is subject to an economic evaluation of exchanger costs in relation to pumping costs. It should also be recognized that high velocities (and consequently higher pressure drops) tend to result in less fouling deposits and therefore less frequent cleaning of exchangers. (c) The shellside pressure drop shall be calculated on the basis of all baffle tube-to-tubehole and baffle-to-shell leakage streams closed off when the shellside fouling resistance is greater than 0.00035 mCC/W (0.002 hCftCF/Btu). This calculated pressure drop may exceed the allowable clean pressure drop by 50 percent or by 70 kPa (10 psi) maximum. The shellside heat transfer coefficient shall be based on all leakage streams that are open. (d) When horizontally cut baffles are used for two-phase flow, the calculated pressure drop shall be increased by at least 30 percent to allow for liquid holdup behind the baffles. That is, the calculated pressure drop shall not exceed 77 percent of the allowable. 4.2.5 Cooling Water (a) Cooling water (other than inhibited tempered water) flowing through the tubes shall have a minimum velocity of 1.2 m/s (4 ft/s) for nonferrous material and 1.8 m/s (6 ft/s) for ferrous material. The exchanger shall be designed for the highest water velocity through the tube within the maximum allowable pressure drop [140 kPa (20 psi) if not otherwise specified] and the maximum velocities given in Table 1 of this Guide. (b) Maximum outlet cooling water temperature shall be 49C (120F) for fresh water and 43C (110F) for brackish or salt water. 4.2.6 U-Tubes

For exchangers with U-tubes, the percentage of the U-bend surface area considered effective for heat transfer shall be as follows:
Shellside Fouling Resistance mCC/W (hCftCF/Btu) Greater than 0.00026 (0.0015) 0.00026 (0.0015) or lower Effectiveness % 0 100

In addition, when strip or other special bend supports are used, as required by TEMA Standards, Paragraph RCB-4.54, the entire bend surface shall be considered ineffective and shall not be included in the calculation

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 13-B-10 1991

PAGE 8 OF 44 FEBRUARY 1991

of total effective surface of the exchanger. When strips or other special supports are assembled and secured by welding, special precautions shall be taken to protect the tubes from arc strikes.

Baffle Cut

The orientation of baffle cuts shall be as follows:

Shellside Fluid Condition All Liquid All Vapor Two-Phase Condensing Two-Phase Vaporizing Baffle Cut Orientation Horizontal Horizontal Vertical 45 or Horizontal

(Horizontal cut baffles may only be used when the shellside flow is well into the spray flow region.)

(This paragraph shall normally take precedence over paragraph 4.1.6 of this Guide.) 4.2.8 Kettle Reboilers

Kettle reboilers shall be designed such that no more than 0.5 percent liquid is entrained in the outlet vapor. Minimum requirements are a dome height of 460 mm (18 in.) above the normal liquid level and a dry pipe on the vapor outlet nozzle. For kettles with a weir, the minimum holdup time beyond the weir shall be two minutes. 4.3 4.3.1 Design Pressure The design pressure shall be at least the greatest of the following. (a) A pressure of 500 kPa gage (75 psig). (When approved by Mobil, design pressures lower than 500 kPa gage (75 psig) may be used for large-diameter exchangers operating at near to atmospheric pressure.)

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE EGE 13-B-10 1991

PAGE 10 OF 44 FEBRUARY 1991

(b) The maximum operating pressure plus 10 percent, for exchangers protected by conventional safety relief valves. (c) The maximum operating pressure plus 5 percent, for exchangers with maximum operating pressures over 3.4 MPa gage (500 psig) and protected by safety relief valves with pilot operators. 4.3.2 In addition to the requirements of Paragraph 4.3.1, exchangers that operate under vacuum conditions shall be designed for full vacuum. All exchangers in steam service shall also be designed for full vacuum. 4.3.3 Subject to Mobil approval, tube bundles may be designed for a minimum differential pressure of 2.1 MPa (300 psi) when the design pressure is above 4.1 MPa gage (600 psig) and service conditions make it impossible to pressurize one side of the exchanger without simultaneously pressurizing the other side. 4.3.4 In determining the maximum process pressure, variations in pressure (other than during upsets) that may be expected to arise because of operating fluctuations, including startup and shutdown conditions, shall be taken into account. Liquid static head, fluid friction losses under clean and fouled conditions, pump and compressor head characteristics or pressure pulsations, and the like shall be considered. 4.3.5 A higher design pressure may be offered by those vendors having standard pressure classifications or a parts standardization program. In such cases, the vendor shall indicate on the specification sheet the pressure for which the exchanger will be designed, in lieu of the specified design pressure. 4.3.6 When the maximum process pressure on one side of an exchanger exceeds 150 percent of the design pressure on the other side, the need to protect the low-pressure side against overpressure resulting from a ruptured tube or internal expansion bellows shall be investigated in accordance with the guidelines given in API RP 521 (second edition, September 1982, Paragraph 3.15). If protection is required, it can be provided by: (a) Increasing the design pressure on the low-pressure side. (b) Providing a pressure-relieving device sized in accordance with API RP 521 (second edition, Paragraph 3.15.3) and API RP 520, Part 1. 4.4 Internal Expansion Joints

4.4.1 Internal expansion joints shall be designed for the full internal and external design pressures applied independently with either full vacuum or atmospheric pressure on the opposite side. Full vacuum shall be used when the specification sheet specifies that the exchanger is to be designed for full vacuum. 4.4.2 The expansion joint manufacturer shall fulfill the requirements of ASME Code Case 1177-9 and shall guarantee that the expansion joint, while subject to the design pressure and temperature, will withstand a minimum of 3000 cycles. 4.4.3 The expansion joint manufacturer shall submit test data certifying that a prototype or production expansion joint (not less than the size required by the individual exchanger) has successfully undergone hydrostatic testing to 150 percent of the shellside design pressure, corrected for temperature. 4.4.4 The expansion joint shall have an internal sleeve welded to the upstream end to minimize deposits in the bellows. Expansion joint sleeves in vertical exchangers shall have drain holes to prevent liquid retention.

MOBIL ENGINEERING GUIDE

FEBRUARY 1991 PAGE 11 OF 44

EGE 13-B-10 1991

4.4.5 The expansion joint shall be cold sprung for the full design movement during initial assembly so that the stresses in the expansion joint are minimized when the exchanger is onstream. 4.4.6 Floating head tailpipe/shell cover assembly designs that utilize two gaskets in parallel with one set of bolts, as well as designs in which leakage to atmosphere is possible from either shellside or tubeside, are not acceptable. Drawings of the expansion joint assembly and floating head tailpipe/shell cover assembly shall be submitted with the exchanger proposal for approval by Mobil. 4.5 Alloy Linings

4.5.1 Alloy linings shall be applied by either: integrally cladding or weld overlaying. Minimum lining thickness shall be 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) for integral cladding or 4 mm (0.15 in.) for weld overlay. (See Paragraph 7.9.1 for requirements regarding alloy lining of tubesheets). 4.5.2 Nozzles and other connections in alloy-lined components shall be one of the following:

(a) Integrally clad or overlaid base material nozzles. (b) Solid alloy nozzles, when permitted by Paragraph 4.5.3. 4.5.3 Solid stabilized austenitic stainless steel nozzles and other connections may only be welded into alloy-lined ferritic base materials when the service conditions are noncyclic (temperature) and do not include chlorides, and the nozzle size and maximum operating temperature are within the following limits:
Nominal Pipe Size in. Maximum Allowable Temperature C 540 430 230 F 1000 800 450

#2 #3 #4

Solid austenitic stainless steel nozzles that do not see flow, such as vents and drains, should be evaluated for their potential for chloride induced stress corrosion cracking. 4.5.4 Overlaid ferritic base material flanges may only be welded to solid austenitic stainless steel shells when approved by Mobil. When requesting approval, vendors must submit calculations based on the ASME Code, Section VIII, Div. 2, Appendix 4 or other recognized design codes or practices, to confirm that the stresses are within acceptable limits when operating at the maximum operating temperature concurrently with the design pressure. 5. MODIFICATIONS TO API STANDARD 660 The following items are amendments to API Standard 660, 1987. The section and paragraph numbers refer to those used in that standard.

SECTION 5 DESIGN

Paragraph 5.1

Design Temperature

Paragraph 5.1.1.1 (New)

Design temperatures for exchanger components shall be established on the following basis: 1. When the maximum operating temperature is 343C (650F) or lower. (a) For pressure parts (excluding tubes) constructed of carbon orlow-alloy steel (as indicated in the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1, Part UCS), the design metal temperature shall be 343C (650F) unless otherwise dictated by flange ratings or metallurgical considerations (such as hydrogen attack or corrosion). Lower design temperatures may also be used when exchangers are built to foreign codes that permit higher allowable stresses to be used at temperatures below 343C (650 F).

The nameplate shall be stamped with the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) at design temperature for the fully corroded exchanger. 3. Nameplates for ferritic exchangers shall indicate the minimum permissible hydrostatic test temperature (see Paragraph 8.3.2). 4. Nameplates for exchangers with minimum design temperatures below 49C (120F) shall be stamped with both maximum and minimum design temperatures (see Paragraph 5.1.1.2).

SECTION 9 PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT

Paragraph 9, Item 1 (Addition)

All exchangers shall be dried to a dewpoint temperature of 0C (32F) prior to closing for shipment.

Paragraph 9, Item 3 (Substitution)

All external surfaces (except nozzle gasket surfaces) shall be shop painted prior to shipment, as follows: (a) Heat exchangers with maximum operating temperatures below 110C (230F) shall be given one spray coat of a phenolic alkyd resin primer, such as Valspar Chromox Primer, 13-R-50, or an equivalent approved by MTC. The dry film thickness of the paint shall be 0.050 to 0.075 mm (0.002 to 0.003 in.). Surfaces shall be power tool cleaned in accordance with SSPC SP3 prior to application of this primer. (b) All other heat exchangers shall be given one spray coat of an inorganic ethyl silicate zinc-rich primer, such as Valspar Mz #7 (formerly Mobilzinc 7), 13-F-12, or an equivalent approved by MTC. The dry film thickness of the paint shall be 0.050 to 0.075 mm (0.002 to 0.003 in.). Surfaces shall be near-white blast cleaned in accordance with SSPC SP10 prior to application of this primer. (c) Stencil "DO NOT WELD" on equipment which has been postweld heat treated (minimum of 2 areas, 180 degrees apart).

Paragraph 9, Item 6 (New)

Nozzle flange faces and other exposed machined contact surfaces shall be coated with a removable rust preventive, Mobilarma 355 or equivalent.

Paragraph 9, Item 7 (New)
