Challenge : Design and Finite element analysis of heat exchanger according to ASME code.
Solution : MAWP Pressure, temperature, operating load seismic load, insulation ,nozzle loads all corroded condition were applied. The Operation loads were calculated from the fluid capacity, density with the vessel weight. Finite element method (FEM) was used to compute the temperature and the stress fields according to ASME Code.
Result : The Vessel was declared safe under given conditions and suggestions were given to reduce the manufacturing cost by providing optimum thickness of saddle and other parts without affecting the performance and safety criteria.
