The baffle body helps to increase the velocity of the shell side, enhance the turbulence, improve the heat transfer, and play the role of supporting the tube bundle in the horizontal heat exchanger. Commonly used baffles are single bow, double bow, triple bow and so on. The baffle rod is a new type of structure supporting the tube. Its advantages are: under the same heat transfer rate, its pressure drop is more than 50% lower than that of the heat exchanger with arcuate baffles, there is no heat transfer dead zone, and the scaling rate is slow. , which prevents vibrations induced by lateral flow.
