| For convenience of application we have developed several standard
designs of the type F exchanger and have assembled the details in
this catalog.
Vapor Condensers:
D & R Model "VT" for tube side condensing; D & R Model
"VS" for shell side condensing
Reboilers:
D & R Model "VT"
Heat Exchangers:
D & R Model "LL" for liquid to liquid service; D & R Model
"LLS" for steam to liquid sevice
Model numbers of D & R exchangers can be determined easily
by assembling a few pertinent factors. The result will generally
describe the unit and simplify identification.
Example:
D & R Model VS1054-8H reading from left to right describes a
Shell Side Condenser with a 10-3/4" O.D. shell, 5/8" O.D. tubes,
4 pass tube side, 8'0" tube length for horizontal installation.
This is determined as follows:

1. Model "VS" -- Shell Side condensing (from general catagories
outlined above)
2. Nominal shell size (10-3/4" O.D.) -- 10
3. Tube dia. in eighths of an inch -- 5 equals 5/8" O.D.
tube
4. Tube side pass arrangement -- 4
5. Tube lenght in feet -- 8
6. Horizontal installation -- H
Model "VT" Vapor condensers are available for both vertical and
horizontal installation. The wide selection of available tube sizes
and lengths provide for variety of selection. The economics of alloy
construction make them a "must" when considering this type of problem.
Example Problem:
Select a horizontal liquid to liquid heat exchanger with approximately
140 sq. ft. surface. Four tube side passes and a Nickel tube side
with 3/4" O.D. x 16 BWG tubes, with a maximum overall length of
12'0". An expansion joint will be provided in the shell to compensate
for anticipated differential expansion.
Our general selection in this instance will be a Model "LL" for
the liquid to liquid service specified. The tube pass arrangement
has been predetermined (4) as well as the tube size 3/4" O.D. x
16 BWG, tube designation Group 6. From the table of the Dimensional
Standards and Surface Areas we find that Model "LL" exchangers four
tube passes are detailed on the following pages, including Dimensional
data for four pass tube side arrangements, triangular tube pitch,
Group 6 tube size in the column entitled D & R Standard Model
"LL" for Group 6 (the predetermined tube size), find that under
a tube length of 10'0" (the specification calls for a 12'0" maximum
overall length) the listed surface area nearest the 140 sq. ft.
surface specified has a 10-3/4" shell and provides 142 sq. ft. surface,
a satisfactory selection.
