Finite Element Analysis of Cover type Air Cooled Heat Exchanger header box
Transheat scope
Performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for the inlet and outlet cover type header boxes with consideration of the design conditions and the specified nozzle loads. Ensure that stresses within the header boxes are within the code allowable limits while considering the various load cases and boundary conditions.
All design documents reviewed by : ASME AI.
Major design attributes
- Inlet and outlet header boxes with all nozzles are modeled.
- Header box boundary conditions are such that headers are not free to move downwards.
- Cover flange bolt pretension is considered.
- Stress linearization is performed at all critical locations in the various load cases.
