Heat exchanger problem
Thread Content
Shell and tube heat exchanger Refrigerant circuits 3 What does it mean? Capacity of the cooler 440 KWatts Refrigeration capacity seems to be only used in refrigerators, etc. What does it mean in a heat exchanger?
Isn't the heat exchanger itself a refrigerator? It’s just that the quality of the cooling capacity it produces is relatively low. 440 KWatts represents its heat transfer capacity, which in turn is its cooling capacity!
Thanks for your reply. The heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger is usually expressed by the heat exchange area. What I mean is the 440Kwa cooling capacity. What is the significance of the design? Related to those indicators, heat exchange area? flow? Temperature difference? . . . This post was last edited by skipper on 2009-2-18 10:58 ]
The first one should be the refrigeration cycle and the second one is the cooling load. Combined with the heat load, we can easily understand that the cooling load is the heat rejection of the cooled fluid. Q=WC(Tt)=KA△TW is the flow rate, C is the isobaric heat capacity of the fluid, K heat transfer coefficient, and A heat transfer area is mainly used in the calculation of heat constant.
