Do you know what is retubing, and why is it important? Retubing is the process of replacing an aging or damaged tube in a heat transfer vessel. It is considered a routine maintenance procedure and can help improve the reliability and longevity of the vessel.
Plugging tubes are one of the most convenient ways to repair shell-and-tube types of heat exchangers. It can be an effective and reliable method to fix a heat exchanger when done properly. However, it could cause more harm than good if not executed carefully.
