Correct answer: A. Hold baffle in space
- A. Hold baffle in space
- B. Fix the tubes in position
- C. Account for thermal strain
- D. None of these
Explanation
Tie rods run through the tube bundle and maintain the spacing of the segmental baffles, usually together with spacer tubes. They do not fix the tubes in the tubesheets or compensate for thermal expansion.
