Baffle used in Heat Exchangers

Baffles are components of shell and tube heat exchangers which are used to support and fix the tubes in a defined position. The main machining process for baffle plates is drilling. Baffle plates are thin and are often machined by stacking multiple plates, so it is necessary to handle stacked plate drilling.ngs.

In heat exchangers, a baffle is a device used to direct the flow of fluid inside the exchanger. Baffles are typically made of metal and are placed inside the heat exchanger to create turbulence in the fluid flow. This turbulence helps to increase the heat transfer efficiency by promoting mixing and reducing the formation of boundary layers.

Baffles can come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the specific requirements of the heat exchanger. They are often placed perpendicular to the direction of flow to create a zigzag pattern that forces the fluid to change direction multiple times as it passes through the exchanger. This increases the contact between the fluid and the heat transfer surface, leading to improved heat transfer rates.

Baffles play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of heat exchangers by enhancing heat transfer efficiency and reducing pressure drop.
