Heat Exchanger

Heat exchangers can be described as:

they include all devices that are designed for exchanging heat.

Only heat exchangers that are meant to exchange heat between two fluids are taken into account.

These fluids can be gasses as well as liquids. It is still difficult to have an overview, and a classification needs to be made. It is possible to classify heat exchangers in a number of ways.

Classification Heat Exchangers

1.Classification of heat exchangers depending on the basic of the fluid paths through the heat exchanger.

Difference is made between :

• parallel flow,

• counter flow

• and cross flow.

Page 3: Heat  Exchanger

Classification

cross flow air to liquid heat exchanger

This is a heat exchangers that is found on the top buildingsand is for instance needed for air conditioning inside. Here a fluid is leaded between the platesat the top of the heat exchanger and flows horizontally. Air is blown vertically against theplates to cool the fluid inside.

Classification

Page 5: Heat  Exchanger

Classification

The second classification made, is depending on the state of the media in the heat exchanger.

Liquid-to-liquid exchangers are those in which two liquids interact. Also gas-to-gas heat exchangers like air preheaters in steam plants and helium-cooled reactor gas turbine plants have to be mentioned. These devices operate with heat transfer coefficients that are between ten and one hundred times lower than the coefficients of liquid-to-liquid exchangers. Gas to gas exchangers are general much larger and heavier if a same amount of transferred heat is demanded.

The third type is the liquid-to-gas heat exchanger (or vice versa), usually water and air are used, for instance in automotive radiators. Because of the lower heat transfer coefficients on the gas-side there are usually fines placed on the exchanging surfaces.

Page 6: Heat  Exchanger

Classification

The third classification method is based the purpose of heat exchanger.

The last classification is actually the most important choice of the designer of a heat exchanging system. This is the choice what kind of construction he is going to use.

Regenerative Heat Exchangers

The regenerator represents class of heat exchangers in which heat is alternately stored and removed from a surface

This heat transfer surface is usually referred to as the matrix of the regenerator.

For continuous operation, the matrix must be moved into and out of the fixed hot and cold fluid streams. In this case, the regenerator is called a rotary regenerator.

If, on the other hand, the hot and cold fluid streams are switched into and out of the matrix, the the regenerator is referred to as a fixed matrix regenerator.

How is the heat transfer?

• Heat can transfer between the surface of a solid conductor and the surrounding medium whenever temperature gradient exists.ConductionConvection

Natural convection Forced Convection

Page 22: Heat  Exchanger

Natural and forced Convection

Natural convection occurs whenever heat flows between a solid and fluid, or between fluid layers.

As a result of heat exchange

Change in density of effective fluid layers taken place, which causes upward flow of heated fluid.

If this motion is associated with heat transfer mechanism only, then it is called Natural Convection

Page 23: Heat  Exchanger

Forced Convection

If this motion is associated by mechanical means such as pumps, gravity or fans, the movement of the fluid is enforced.

And in this case, we then speak of Forced convection.

Page 24: Heat  Exchanger

Heat Exchangers• A device whose primary purpose is the transfer of energy

between two fluids is named a Heat Exchanger.

Page 25: Heat  Exchanger

Applications of Heat Exchangers

Heat Exchangers prevent car engine

overheating and increase efficiency

Heat exchangers are used in Industry for

heat transfer

Heat exchangers are used in AC and

furnaces

Page 26: Heat  Exchanger

• The closed-type exchanger is the most popular one.

• One example of this type is the Double pipe exchanger.

• In this type, the hot and cold fluid streams do not come into direct contact with each other. They are separated by a tube wall or flat plate.

Energy moves from hot fluid to a surface by convection, through the wall by conduction, and then by convection from the surface to the cold fluid.

• Velocity distribution and boundary layer

When fluid flow through a circular tube of uniform cross-suction and fully developed,

The velocity distribution depend on the type of the flow.

In laminar flow the volumetric flowrate is a function of the radius.

V u2rdrr0

rD / 2

V = volumetric flowrate

u = average mean velocity

Page 30: Heat  Exchanger

In turbulent flow, there is no such distribution.

• The molecule of the flowing fluid which adjacent to the surface have zero velocity because of mass-attractive forces. Other fluid particles in the vicinity of this layer, when attempting to slid over it, are slow down by viscous forces.

r

Boundary layer

Page 31: Heat  Exchanger

• Accordingly the temperature gradient is larger at the wall and through the viscous sub-layer, and small in the turbulent core.

• The reason for this is 1) Heat must transfer through the boundary layer by conduction.2) Most of the fluid have a low thermal conductivity (k)3) While in the turbulent core there are a rapid moving eddies, which they are equalizing the temperature.
