HTRI plate heat exchanger (steam heating of hot water) selection calculation
Thread Content
Steam at 3 kg/cm2g pressure enters the plate heat exchanger at a flow rate of 8 inches per second; the other end is supplied with water by a pump at an outlet pressure of 2 kg/cm2g. The water flow rate is approximately 70 m3/hr. After entering the plate heat exchanger, the water temperature rises from 30°C to 95°C. The heat removal capacity of the heat exchanger is around 2 million Kcal/hr. What is the area of such a heat exchanger? Thank you
There’s an issue with your duty value; it differs significantly from the heat absorption capacity of water. Please check again

It is recommended to use a floating-head heat exchanger
