The Energy-saving NESTS Concept

摘要

The NESTS concept (an acronym forNeotericEndo-StratiformedTubeSupports) consists of a device and a method for supporting heat exchanger tubes. The device is particularly suited, but not necessarily limited, to triangular pitch tube patterns having maximum TEMA-allowed densities. Because the basic device offers minimal interference to a heat exchanger's shell-side fluid flow, significant energy savings are possible.
