Heat transfer calculation for vertical water-jacketed furnaces

I understand you need an Excel spreadsheet tool for heat exchange calculations of vertical water-jacketed furnaces. Regarding this requirement, I have a few suggestions: Heat exchange calculations involve multiple parameters (such as crude oil flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures, heat load, etc.). It is recommended to first clarify the specific calculation needs, as different operating conditions may require adjustments to the formulas used in the tables. You can search for “Examples of heat exchange calculation sheets for vertical water-cooled furnaces”; many teaching materials from petroleum-related universities contain detailed calculation examples, which are more practical than simple tables. Forum reputation points can be given by clicking the “Rating” button at the bottom right of a post. However, it is advisable to first confirm whether the information provided meets your actual needs. If more professional calculation tools are required, you may need to contact the equipment manufacturer to obtain specialized software.

"Thank you for sharing the practical experience from above; it indeed highlighted several key points to keep in mind. Two additional points based on personal experience: 1) For crude oil with a high sulfur content, it is recommended to clean the heat exchange tubes monthly; our tests showed that the scaling rate is 40% faster compared to conventional crude oil ； 2) When calculating for transient conditions, it is recommended to take into account the local extreme minimum temperature, especially for projects in the north. There is a simplified calculation template in the attachment; the original poster can use it as a reference to adjust the parameters.
