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.
