Multi-segmented tube sheet

摘要

A method of manufacturing a tube sheet by forming a plurality of separate thin tube sheet segments; forming multiple holes in each sheet in a predetermined pattern, each hole for accommodating a tube sheet filter tube; aligning all of the plurality of tube sheet segments so that the hole pattern of each sheet aligns with the hole pattern in all other sheets of the plurality of tube sheet segments; and securing all of the tube sheet segments together to form a unitary tube sheet. A tube sheet construction that includes a plurality of separate thin tube sheet segments, multiple holes being provided in each sheet in a predetermined pattern, each hole for accommodating a tube sheet filter tube, all of the tube sheet segments being aligning so that the hole pattern of each sheet aligns, and fasteners for securing all of the tube sheet segments together. A media layer is provided between adjacent sheet segments.

主权项

1. A tube sheet construction that is comprised of a plurality of separate planar tube sheet segments, multiple holes being provided in each planar tube sheet segment in a predetermined pattern, each hole for accommodating an elongated tubular element, an active planar layer disposed parallel with the plurality of separate tube sheet segments, and fasteners for securing all of the planar tube sheet segments and the active planar layer together and arranged so that all planar tube sheet segments and said active planar layer are maintained in intimate contact so as to form a solid tube sheet structure, said active layer comprising a UV light emanating layer that doses any fluid flow through the tube sheet construction with UV light emanating from the UV light emanating layer so as to disrupt or annihilate any living matter.
