: Would appreciate hearing any comments regarding the need for intermediate tube sheets in firetube boilers where the tubes can get 20 to 24 ft long.
: Would the presence of an intermediate tube-sheet affect circulation patterns adversely ?
: Thanks,

The general practice when tube length becomes an issue is to increase the wall thickness of the tubes. I do believe that intermediate tube sheets would create immense problems with circulation.
