What is Flow-Induced Vibration in Heat Exchangers about?
Heat exchanger tubes may fail due to excessive vibration caused by shell-side fluid flow. The most severe vibration mechanism is fluidelastic instability, which can cause tube damage after only a few hours. While turbulence buffeting causes little vibration, over many years it can produce wall thinning from fretting that is unacceptable. The document reviews various vibration mechanisms and discusses methods for minimizing vibration damage through good tube support arrangements and design/operation practice
