ASTM A182 Stainless Steel Baffle For Pressure Vessels

The main functions include:

1. Improve heat transfer efficiency: By changing the flow direction and speed of the fluid, the baffle can help increase the contact between the fluid and the tube wall, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency.
2. Prevent fluid short circuit: Ensure that the fluid flows along the designed path to avoid flowing directly from the inlet to the outlet without sufficient heat exchange.
3. Support structure: In some designs, the baffle also plays a role in supporting the heat exchange tube, especially when there is no other support structure inside the heat exchanger.

The design of the baffle needs to be determined according to the specific working conditions, such as the properties of the fluid (such as viscosity, corrosiveness), the required heat transfer efficiency, the allowable pressure loss and other factors. Proper design and installation of baffles are essential to ensure the performance of the heat exchanger.
