Looking for software or algorithms for calculating steam-air heat exchangers
Thread Content
There is air at 25°C and 0.5 MPa, with a flow rate of 2000 m3/h; it needs to be heated to 45°C. What size should the shell-and-tube heat exchanger be, or how should it be selected? Dear ones, please help
At the very least, one should inform what heat source is being used, right? If it is a water vapor optical tube heat exchanger, that will work; the material and other parameters need to be provided for confirmation. If hot water is used as the heat source, the design must take the temperature of the hot water into account. If the temperature of the hot water at the site is close to the temperature of the air outlet, finned tubes are recommended. Due to the operating pressure of the air, external finned tubes are not advised; internal finned heat exchangers offer a good cost-performance ratio.
