You’re welcome! Three tables to handle heat pipe exchangers in one click
It’s in PDF format, so it can’t perform automatic calculations
Excel spreadsheets can perform automatic calculations! Updated to December 4, 2024.
Suddenly there’s a calculation that needs to be checked; I saw this post – where can I find the Excel file? Thank you
The website was under a DDoS attack these past two days and had to be shut down; it was reopened this afternoon, so you can go to the website to check it out.
You can send me the parameters, and I’ll create a summary table for you!
I have a calculation to do; it should be simple, haha. I’m not very familiar with it, so I was wondering if you could help me work it out. There’s a drying room with dimensions of 50 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 3 meters high. The air temperature in this room needs to be raised from room temperature to around 70 degrees Celsius within about an hour. I plan to use the waste heat from a 6-ton industrial boiler to heat the air. I’d like to know what size air preheater would be appropriate for this purpose. The temperature of the exhaust gas is 200 degrees, and I want the exhaust temperature to be below 140 degrees. Other parameters can be assumed to be idealized, such as the length of the pipes used to convey the heated air. Under normal conditions, a 6-ton boiler has an exhaust fan capacity of around 32,000 cubic meters per hour, while the blower’s capacity is around 20,000 cubic meters per hour. Could you help me design something based on these figures? Thank you!
This isn’t a heat pipe! My software isn’t needed either! Calculating makes no sense to me!
