How to calculate the wetted area of a heat exchanger under fire conditions
Thread Content
This post was last edited by Catalyzing a Grain on 2018-5-29 at 17:21. I would like to ask fellow professionals: how is the wetting area of a heat exchanger calculated under fire conditions? Is it necessary to distinguish between the tube side and the shell side? How is the wetting area of a kettle-type heat exchanger calculated? The discharge volume calculated currently differs from that provided by the design institute; it is likely due to the issue with the wetting area. Therefore, I would appreciate it if everyone could help look into this. Thank you!
