ABSTRACT:
A corrugated-shaped acoustic baffle unit for insertion into a tube bundle of a tubular-type heat exchanger having parallel staggered tubes to prevent flow-induced vibrations in the heat exchanger. The baffle unit is formed of at least two helical-shaped spacer members each rotatably attached to a flexible connecting barrier member, such as a fabric or metal mesh material or formed by multiple adjacent bars or tubes each attached to the rotatable spacer members. The flexible corrugated-shaped baffle unit can be inserted between adjacent parallel tubes of a heat exchanger by rotating simultaneously the helical-shaped spacer members. After insertion of the baffle unit, the ends of the helical-shaped spacer members are connected together so as to prevent their further rotation and thereby secure the baffle unit firmly in place between adjacent tubes of the heat exchanger.
