I work in this industry. There is really no difference, it all depends on what the end user wants. Someone may tell you that a double ferrule system gives you better leak protection, but it doesn't, it is all about preference. Just a tidbit of info: Many people who know about tube fittings think that swagelok started the industry standard, but tylok's founder, actually was the inventor of the flareless fitting.

Which type of condenser is better when both tube side and shell side fluids are fouling?

When both the tube side and shell side fluids are fouling, a double-pipe or shell-and-tube condenser is generally preferred. Shell-and-tube condensers offer greater flexibility for cleaning and maintenance, as the design allows for easy access to both the shell and tube sides. Additionally, they can be designed with multiple passes, which enhances heat transfer efficiency and accommodates fouling. This adaptability makes them a better choice for applications facing fouling on both sides.

What is wick tube used to heat pipe?

A wick tube is a component in heat pipes that utilizes capillary action to transport working fluid from the condenser section back to the evaporator. It typically features a porous structure or grooves that facilitate this movement, allowing the heat pipe to effectively transfer heat. By maintaining a continuous cycle of evaporation and condensation, the wick tube enhances the overall thermal efficiency of the heat pipe. This design is crucial for applications where efficient heat transfer is essential, such as in electronics cooling and thermal management systems.

How do you hook up 1968 chev C10 327 ci heater hoses?

It matters if it has ac or not. If it is a non ac vehicle, the hoses and coolant flow from the fitting close to the thermostat housing to the lower heater core tube, then out the upper heater core tube to the fitting on the water pump. If it has ac, the hose from the upper heater core tube connects to the fitting on the radiator.

Where is the orifice tube on a 99 Mercury Sable?

It is located in the line between the High side service port and the evaporator in front of the alternator. It's hidden under the foam pipe insulation. Taurus/Sable Liquid Line and Orifice Tube The orifice tubes on 2000 to 2007 Ford Taurus and 2000 to 2005 Mercury Sable can be changed. At first glance, the liquid line looks like one long hose. But unlike the liquid lines of the '80s and '90s, this hose has a fitting in the middle. The orifice tube is located at this fitting. To replace the orifice tube, remove the washer and overflow bottle. The high side service port is on a pipe about eight inches long to make it easier for service. The fitting and orifice tube are near this pipe. The fitting is covered with a protective rubber cover. The cover makes it hard to see the fitting and that the orifice tube is replaceable. Push the cover back. Disconnect the fitting. Replace the orifice tube. Lubricate the new o-ring (# 24608), and torque the fitting to 18 lb-ft.

Does a ballast use electricity if no bulbs are present?

If you mean the ballast in a fluorescent light fitting where the ballast is wired in series with the tube, the answer is "No". Explanation: If no tube is in place, the light fitting's circuit is "open" so there is nothing to take any current from the "hot" supply wire and return it to the "neutral" wire.
