1.2 Proper application
The heat exchanger is designed for heating or cooling (as well as condensing) an
operating medium (liquid or gaseous) by means of a cooling/heating medium (liquid or
gaseous).
The thermos-dynamical design and the strength calculation is carried out according to
the operating conditions regarding temperatures, pressures, volume flow as well as to
the kind and composition of the flowing media and to the agreed calculating methods
including the agreed additional loads as specified by the customer.
The operational and design data, other specifications, materials, corrosion allowances,
additional and nozzle loads may be taken from the data sheet for the heat exchanger
or from a separate specification sheet.
Generally, defects on the heat exchanger arising from water hammer, frost, congealing
of the media, corrosion or erosion because of operating states that are not verified and
limited in time, or maloperation of the apparatus are excluded from warranty. Any
deviations of this may be taken from the heat exchanger data sheet.

2 Functional description
2.1 Function
The heat exchanger has the purpose to heat or cool an operating medium (liquid or
gaseous). During this also a (partial) condensation of an operating medium may occur.
Cooling is done with a cooling medium (liquid or gaseous), heating is done with a
heating medium (liquid or gaseous). Depending on the application, also condensed
steam may be used as a heating medium.
In case of condensation please make sure that the steam trap always is connected to
the lowest point of the heat exchanger.
The supply of the media is realised by on-site piping of the heat exchanger. Piping
work is normally not included in the scope of work by Hering AG. The supply limit of
Hering AG can be taken from the dimensional drawing.
In the following you will find a description by example of the construction of the different
types of heat exchangers. The version delivered may vary from the following illustrated
descriptions. Each heat exchanger is specifically designed and built for the particular
application.
The design variations may be an upright type, different nozzle positions, separation
sheet metals on the shell side, shell compensator, no chambers, firmly welded
chambers, lifting eyes or other varying accessories depending on customer's
specification.
2.2 Construction of heat exchanger Type G
A great number of heat exchanger tubes (7) welded or rolled in tightly into the pipe end
plates at both ends of the shell constitute the heat exchanger surface. Adjacent to that
are the chambers (4), (5), either welded or flanged on at both sides of the pipe end
plates. The heat exchanger may also be delivered without chambers, depending on the
type.
The pipe end plates of the heat exchanger are firmly welded on and cannot be drawn.

2.2.1 Heat exchanger Type G (single-duct)
In figure 1 a single-duct heat exchanger is shown. The tube-side entry and exit nozzles
are situated opposite each other.
Normally the medium conducted on the shell side enters at nozzle (11). It flows over
the outer surface of the heat exchanger tubes (7) and is thereby either cooled or
heated, depending on the application; then it exits at nozzle (12). The actual current
conduction is shown on the heat exchanger.
The medium conducted on the tube side enters at nozzle (1). It flows through the heat
exchanger tubes and is thereby either cooled or heated, depending on the application;
normally it exits at nozzle (2). The actual current conduction is shown on the heat
exchanger.

are situated at the entry/exit chamber, the reversing chamber is opposite.
The medium conducted on the tube side normally enters at the upper nozzle (1). It
flows through the heat exchanger tubes and is thereby either cooled or heated,
depending on the application. In the reversing chamber (5) the medium is reversed and
conducted back through the tubes. It will be further cooled or heated, depending on the
application. The medium conducted on the tube side normally exits at the lower nozzle
(2). The actual current conduction is shown on the heat exchanger.

2.3 Construction of heat exchanger Type N / Type D
A great number of heat exchanger (7) welded or rolled in tightly into the pipe end plate
at one end of the shell constitute the heat exchanger surface. On the other end the
tubes are bent to "U"-shape. Adjacent to the end with the pipe plate the chamber (4) is
flanged on.
Type N – without separating sheet on the shell side

Type D – with separating sheet on the shell side
Depending on the construction the heat exchanger may also be delivered without shell
as inset tube bundle.
The pipe plate of the heat exchanger is flanged between chamber and shell and the
tube bundle can be drawn.
2.3.1 Heat exchanger Type N / Type D (double or multiple-duct)
In figure 1 a double or multiple-duct heat exchanger is shown. The tube-side nozzles

are situated on one side (Entry/Exit chamber). The tubes are bent in the shell in "U"-
shape and lead back to the chamber.
Normally the medium conducted on the shell side enters at nozzle (11) at Type N and
at nozzle (13) at Type D. It flows over the outer surface of the heat exchanger tubes (7)
and is thereby either cooled or heated, depending on the application; then it exits at
nozzle (12) at Type N. The actual current conduction is shown on the heat exchanger.
The medium conducted on the tube side normally enters at nozzle (1). It flows through
the heat exchanger tubes and is thereby either cooled or heated, depending on the
application. The medium is deviated at the end of the U-tubes and returned through the
tubes. This leads to a further cooling or heating of the medium, depending on the
application. The medium conducted on the tube side normally exits at nozzle (2). The
actual current conduction is shown on the heat exchanger.

plates at both ends of the shell constitute the heat exchanger surface. Adjacent to that
are the chambers (4), (5), flanged on at both sides of the pipe end plates.
One of the tube plates of the heat exchanger is flanged between chamber and shell,
the diameter of the other one is designed so that it can be drawn through the shell. The
sealing is done with O-rings (15) that are held over a flange. This means the tube

3 Installation
3.1 Requirements for the place of installation
The supporting surfaces for the feet/claws must be plane, at the same level and flush
with each other.
The stability of the foundation or other constructional measures has to be proven by the
operator in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
If the condenser is in a horizontal position, the heat exchanger should be installed with
a descending gradient towards the condensate nozzle so that the condensate may
drain off easily.
3.2 Transportation and setting up
The apparatuses are normally delivered fully mounted. The heat exchanger is fixed to
heavy planks for transportation. All connecting openings are closed by covering caps or
blind plugs. A further preservation of the heat exchangers is not done as a rule, so that
transportation and storage may be carried out without any harmful influence of the
weather.
The following needs to be done at the place of installation:
The straps for offloading and lifting of the heat exchanger into the final place at the
construction site must be put around the shell outside of the feet and then attached to
the lifting gear of the crane above the apparatus. If the heat exchanger has lifting eyes,
then these are to be used.
Care must be taken to avoid any loads on the connecting pieces that could be caused
by tension in the ropes. The connecting pieces must not be used for lifting.
The apparatus must be slowly lowered and simultaneously be aligned into final position
at the place of installation.
Then the straps and other auxiliary devices will be removed and the heat exchanger
will be anchored to the floor.
Caution: Please use only suitable lifting devices for transportation and erection
and adhere to the applicable laws and regulations.

00001166
allgemein De BA

03-11 JB 03-11 JB 03-11 JB 1.9
3.3 Installation of piping
Before any piping installation work is started, eventual drying bags need to be removed
from the inside of the chambers (item 4 and 5 in figure 1 respectively 2).
During installation of piping it is important to make sure that no forces, momentum or
vibrations become active at the connecting points of the heat exchanger. If necessary,
the operator should use compensator.
All input and output pipes should be equipped with cut-off valves in order to be able to
put the heat exchanger out of operation without affecting the adjacent systems.
If the input respectively output pipes are mounted above the heat exchanger, then the
air venting valves must be installed at the highest point.
3.4 Insulation
Normally, the heat exchanger is delivered by Hering AG without any insulation. The
operating company has to check whether an insulation or any other protection is
necessary according to the legal regulations. In this case the insulation has to be
installed on site.
4 Operation
Caution: For the use of dangerous or noxious mediums the applicable laws,
safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.
4.1 Putting into operation
Caution:
To avoid steam shocks (sudden vaporisation of fluid) when setting into operation, the
cold fluid must flow before the warm one on starting. Otherwise damages might be
caused at the heat exchanger or the whole system.

00001166
allgemein De BA

03-11 JB 03-11 JB 03-11 JB 1.9
Note:
If, according to customer's specification, the inside of the tubes is treated with a
preservative, it will be necessary to flush the apparatus with water or a medium.
When the heat exchanger is put into operation again after it had been demounted, e. g.
for maintenance or cleaning purposes, always use new seals.
Before putting into operation, the connecting pipe work must be checked for tightness
of bolts.
If a liquid medium is used, the heat exchanger must be filled slowly with medium while
the air vent outlet (8) is open, until the air has escaped and medium comes out. Then
close the air vent outlet. If the heat exchanger is in a horizontal position, the outlet
nozzle on the shell side serves as air vent outlet too.
4.2 Operation of the heat exchanger
The operator has to make sure that the maximum / minimum design conditions
indicated on the type plate will never be exceeded.
The design temperatures and pressures indicated refer to the solidity of the
materials and not to the operation of the heat exchanger.
For the operating conditions on which the dimensioning is based, refer to the
heat exchanger data sheet.
If there is a deviation to the operating conditions, damage or destruction of the
whole apparatus may be caused.
Generally, if the heat exchanger is operated at temperatures around the freezing
point of the respective mediums, there is danger of freezing and thus destruction
of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger must not be operated at temperatures
around the freezing point of the respective mediums.
Any damage caused by water hammer, frost or congealing of the medium as well as by
inadmissible operating states are excluded from warranty.
All gasket connections must be checked and in case of leakage the bolts must be
retighten while the apparatus is not under pressure.
After the first 24 hours of operation all bolted connections must be retighten while the
apparatus is not under pressure.
Note:
The condensate outlets, if any, must be checked once a week if they are free.
Caution:
During operation, surface temperatures of more than 50 °C may occur.
Danger of burns!

00001166
allgemein De BA

03-11 JB 03-11 JB 03-11 JB 1.9
4.3 Putting out of operation
Caution:
Open heat exchanger in cooled-down and pressure-free condition only. This holds true
for all closing elements at the heat exchanger. To avoid pressure shocks (sudden
vaporisation of fluid) during shutdown, stop flow of warm fluid before the flow of the
cold one. Otherwise damages might be caused at the heat exchanger or the whole
system. Close cut-off valves at the ingoing and outgoing pipes if necessary. Cut-off
valves must always be opened and closed slowly in order to avoid water hammer.
Note:
Generally, the danger of freezing exists at very low outdoor temperatures and thus of
the destruction of the heat exchanger. If put out of operation at very low outdoor
temperatures, the heat exchanger must be completely drained through the draining
nozzles provided (see 4.4.2). This prevents damage through frost.
4.4 Ventilating and draining
4.4.1 Ventilating of the heat exchanger
The heat exchanger must be completely filled with medium. Otherwise the full heat
transfer capacity cannot be reached. In addition, differences in the heat expansion of
cooled tubes and not ventilated - and therefore not cooled - tubes can, upon frequent
running up and down of the heat exchanger, result in stress cracks and severe
damages to the apparatus. The shell compensator, built-in depending on the version,
can only compensate stresses caused by varying elongations of the shell and the
tubes.
Air vent screws are provided with a drilled hole for pressure relief. If ventilating
during the operation is necessary, the air vent screws may only be opened until
medium exits through the ventilating hole.
Caution:
If they are opened any further, the screws may be ejected by the internal
pressure and there is also danger of injuries by the escaping medium.

00001166
allgemein De BA

03-11 JB 03-11 JB 03-11 JB 1.9
4.4.2 Draining of the heat exchanger
Note:
Drainage screws may only be removed while the apparatus is not under pressure and
with the medium being at room temperature. Sufficient time must be allowed for cooling
off.
Open the drainage screws and drain the medium through the draining cams (9).
Collect the medium and dispose of it, if necessary, according to the applicable
regulations and accident-preventing precautions.
Drain the heat exchanger completely.
Caution:
If components are opened while they are under pressure, there is the danger of
plugging screws being ejected and, at higher temperatures, the danger of burns.
5 Maintenance and cleaning
Screwed connections should be checked for tightness every 6 months.
Note:
After demounting, e. g. for maintenance or cleaning purposes, always use new seals.
Cleaning intervals for heat transfer surfaces cannot be given generally, as they strongly
depend on the types of mediums and the operating method of the heat exchanger. A
cleaning of the heat transfer surfaces can only be done as the need arises or according
to experience.
From this reason the heat transfer surfaces should regularly be checked for sediments.
All components of the heat exchanger should regularly be checked for sediments and
corrosion and, if necessary, be cleaned or replaced.
Caution:
In case of corrosion the dimensioning conditions indicated on the type plate are
no longer valid. There is the danger of destruction of the heat exchanger at
normal operating pressure.

03-11 JB 03-11 JB 03-11 JB 1.9
5.1 Cleaning the inside of the tubes
The inside of the tubes may be cleaned mechanically (e. g. with brushes) or
chemically.
5.1.1 Mechanical cleaning
Note: Only type G and type WT.
1. Put the heat exchanger out of operation as described in 4.3.

2. Drain the heat exchanger as described in section 4.4.2.
3. Remove the chambers. (Depending on the customer's requirements the chambers
may be firmly welded; in this case a mechanical cleaning is not possible.)
4. Clean the tubes with brushes.
5. Flush with water or medium afterwards.
6. Putting back into operation is done as described under 4.1.
Note:
On stainless steel pipes, it is imperative to use a stainless steel brush with an
outside diameter equal to the inside diameter of the tubes. The use of a normal steel
brush will cause corrosion.
5.1.2 Chemical cleaning

3. Separate the heat exchanger from the piping system and insert blind flanges.
4. Use cleaning and neutralizing liquids that are suitable for the material according to
the instruction sheets. Pump these liquids through the heat exchanger until the
desired cleaning effect is accomplished.

5.2 Cleaning the outside of the tubes
The outside of the tubes may be cleaned mechanically (e. g. with a steam jet) or
chemically.
5.2.1 Mechanical cleaning
Note: Only type N / type D and type WT

2. Drain the heat exchanger as described in 4.4.2.
3. Remove the chamber.
4. Draw the tube bundle out of the shell with an adequate device.
5. Clean the outside of the tube with a steam jet (or something similar).
5.2.2 Chemical cleaning

3. Separate the heat exchanger from the piping system and insert blind flanges.
4. Use cleaning and neutralising liquids that are suitable for the material according to
the instruction sheets. Pump these liquids through the heat exchanger until the
desired cleaning effect is accomplished.

6 Finding defects
6.1 Leakage
6.1.1 Leakage of the chambers
Proceed as follows:
1. Mark leakage.
3. Retighten union or bolts while the vessel is not under pressure. If the leakage
cannot be stopped by this measure, replace the gasket.
After removing the old gasket, clean the sealing surfaces completely without
scratching them.
4. Put the new gasket dry onto the sealing surfaces and tighten union or bolts. If there
are several bolts at one connection, attention must be paid to always tighten them
evenly and across from each other.
6.1.2 Leakage of the tube bundle

3. Remove the chambers.
4. Locate leakage and mark it.
5. Close the respective tube with a suitable plug.
Note:
Suitable plugs are to be obtained from Hering AG, stating the serial number of the
heat exchanger.
The plugs must be welded-in by qualified personnel, paying attention to the correct
combination of materials.
Special attention must be paid during the welding process to keep deformations
and stresses to a minimum.
If the leakage is not properly repaired in the right manner, the whole tube bundle
can be destroyed. Then, no further repair will be possible.

6.2 Inferior performance
1. Check entering temperature of cooling medium.

If it is higher than the design value, the heat exchanger cannot reach its full rated
capacity.
Eliminate the fault.
2. Check quantity of cooling medium.

If it is less than the design value, the heat exchanger cannot reach its full rated
capacity.
Eliminate the fault.
3. Check for dirt deposits.

3. Visual examination of the outside surfaces of the tubes via the connection
nozzle.
4. For visual examination of the inside of the tubes remove one chamber.
5. If cleaning is necessary, then please proceed as described under paragraph 5.
