	Generally we go for Anchor support on the structure which we generally fix with the concrete foundation of exchangers. What r different reasons for the same and what different benefits will be?? __________________ Atul singla

	If all pipe lines are above ground from the rack (as shown in the sketch above) then the fixed (anchor) end saddle shall be at the support closest to the pipe way. In the sketch above it would be incorporated in to the intermediate pipe support. This allows the exchanger to "grow" away from the pipe rack and reduces the impact of expansion of the hot pipes. If the "Tube" side pipe lines (cooling water) come from underground (just under the channel end) then the fixed (anchor) saddle shall be at the support closest to the channel end. Flexibility for the shell side "Hot lines" will need to be handled by the pipe configuration. __________________ Do it once and do it right

	The first anchor support on the exchanger piping would be on the pie rack rather than any intermediate structures. it isn ot adcvisable to anchor the lines very closer once it comes out of the inlet. moreoever the displacements would not be very higher when we anchor it in the intermediate support steel. In case if we support it so then the design of the intermediate support woule be holding more loads. it is not preferred to design a intermediate support to carry big loads. So it is always better to anchor it on the Pipe rack structure as the load bearing capacity of the pipe rack member would be more than the intermediate support. So anchoring would be mainly on pur piperack member once the pipie enters in the lateral beam of the pipe rack. I hope this helps
