METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING THE IMPACT OF MOTION IN A CORE-IN-SHELL HEAT EXCHANGER

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for reducing the effects of motion in a core-in-shell type heat exchager are provided. One method for reducing the impact of motion in a heat exchanger includes: (a) flooding the heat exchanger with a vaporizing fluid, wherein the heat exchanger includes an internal volume defined within a shell and a plurality of spaced apart cores disposed within the internal volume of the shell; (b) introducing a hot process feed stream to an upper vessel, wherein the upper vessel is located above the heat exchanger, wherein the upper vessel is connected to the heat exchanger via a plurality of conductor pipes.
