Baffle spacing ____________________?
Correct answer: C. Should be less than the inside diameter of the shell
- A. Is not the same as baffle pitch
- B. Should be less than one fifth the diameter of the shell
- C. Should be less than the inside diameter of the shell
- D. None of these
Explanation
Baffle spacing is the distance between adjacent baffles, whereas baffle pitch is normally the centre-to-centre distance. In exchanger design, the spacing must remain less than the shell inside diameter, so c is correct.
