Tube expansion allowances exist in _____________ heat exchanger?

Correct answer: B. U-tube

  • A. Multipass fixed tube sheet
  • B. U-tube
  • C. Single pass fixed tube sheet
  • D. None of these

Explanation

U-tube exchangers allow the tubes to expand and contract freely because each tube bends at the U-bend. Fixed-tube-sheet exchangers require other provisions, such as an expansion joint, for significant thermal expansion.
