A general rule of thumb for a proper design of the PHE, with acceptable maldistribution, is that the pressure drop over the port connection should not be greater than approximately 25% of the total pressure drop. It surveys common heat exchanger types used in the process industry including shell-and-tube, air-cooled, plate-frame, and plate- fin exchangers. 48 0 obj <> endobj 0000002902 00000 n endstream endobj 49 0 obj<> endobj 50 0 obj<> endobj 51 0 obj<>/ColorSpace<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]/ExtGState<>>> endobj 52 0 obj<> endobj 53 0 obj<> endobj 54 0 obj[/ICCBased 59 0 R] endobj 55 0 obj<> endobj 56 0 obj<> endobj 57 0 obj<> endobj 58 0 obj<>stream Engineers who have recently graduated and more experienced engineers who are responsible for design and operation of process heat exchangers will find this course valuable. 0000000966 00000 n 0000002660 00000 n The pressure drop across a shell and tube heat exchanger is mainly a function of the heat exchanger structure and shell & tube arrangement. Fundamentals of heat transfer and pressure drop are provided for single-phase, boiling, and condensing services. Selection criteria for common applications are discussed, guidelines for thermal design are provided, and detailed examples are summarized. Rule of thumb is 10 psi (70 kPa), but it really depends on your process and utility capabilities. w|�T{dP��bdA\�䣒g� �(�Ѝ��gT��^��ǌjA�Gm�&`�t`Kzg��:�O{�3j�Dt_�s%B�#�h�DV the first figure, you can see that the heat rejection at the evaporator and condenser change from air to water as you move from split system to water cooled chilled water system. This change in heat rejection from air to water greatly improves the efficiency because the heat transfer is much better with water due to its increased heat capacity. 5ƾ�ƞ�ع��d�NI�>�W��,#wx�.gow��YwDS�ڒ��4XOR�>#��GY��:utD*�٨�:,D�D��?�J�݋�� 9��)0LnN��6��XF>#3�[��l�5*ʗ�G�v� �'}P�g�4N�qE⒂;�� W�l��fBJ�Q�vr9ʮ.�l�/H��,־ q��X&$�G��@֢\�� M��ݨ ��C �Ĺ g%��4��z䳾� �k?Y�H � Q��N,�e[Q��[۷��Sg�6A��sKB�ň!�P��d�i)w��N��I�{�pF[ N0�P��V}��ʞ��,��5��5�D H��WM��F��Od��H��rl'qNILʕZ��H�12�VQ~F.��y=3�׮��Zk��y��;��f�}�x��,�-Dd[��l�`��x�ʤ�4�됙�]�A�)��~�k��w��]T�g�j�4��V�2��i��K��,z�毲.ڽ�[��޷u��iš �!��.r�o+�a��k�ɚ��J�o��8�F�ްVʊ-�0�D�^��3)��k��3��N��^v��E��бc�Ki��c�a�\��C�ABI�F��o��H��5��x�?-��Z��?�`�I��v��&A�&�f�\��w��%;,��*��{p��-�>t�\��d�XT��j��@��N��I�R�t��%^_s�ZBY˃*��7 How do you size a heat exchanger for an application? 0000000016 00000 n If the heat exchanger is very 0000003226 00000 n This course focuses on developing design checklists and rules-of- thumb to help engineers avoid common problems in process heat transfer. If there is a pump upstream of the heat exchanger, there probably will be no concern about pressure drop as %PDF-1.4 %�� illustrates how the port pressure drop may influence the flow distribution. Fundamentals of heat transfer and pressure drop are provided for single-phase, boiling, and condensing services. The exception is a heat exchanger that is acting as a condenser. When designing an exchanger the usual practice is to specify a maximum allowable pressure drop. 0000002978 00000 n 0000001246 00000 n 0000002626 00000 n <<2A1E9DE1B1980C4ABB167498456A7F77>]>> Allowable pressure drop. 0000005044 00000 n What are typical operating problems? 0 Why select a horizontal instead of a vertical thermosiphon?

A condenser can have flo%9 but no significant pressure change. 48 14 startxref You will have to understand the process thoroughly before you can attempt to specify the pressure drop on each side of the heat exchanger. Pressure Drop in Channels and Heat Exchangers. Simulators usually do not sho% the control valves or piping pressure drop. A copy of Process Heat Transfer: Principles, Applications, and Rules of Thumb, by Robert Serth and Thomas Lestina, is included with the course and serves as the primary reference for course material.
