This paper addresses the implications of potential flow-induced acoustic and tube vibration problems to the design of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Specific design limitations are described in light of the current understanding of flow-induced vibration phenomena. Although various design alternatives can be used to avoid vibration problems, they all exact a penalty in performance or cost. Representative examples are presented where the results from an analysis to check for possible flow-induced vibration problems have voided designs that were otherwise attractive. Design alternatives to avoid these vibration problems are described to illustrate the importance of flow-induced vibration in the final selection of a heat exchanger.
