Adjustment of the cooler
Thread Content
In a spiral plate heat exchanger, medium A is cooled using chilled water. It has been found that the temperature of A is too high, so it is necessary to increase the flow rate of the chilled water. Should the inlet valve or the outlet valve for the chilled water be opened? Does it not matter? On the contrary, it is now found that the temperature of A has dropped, and it is necessary to reduce the flow rate of the cooling water. Should the inlet valve or the outlet valve of the cooling water be closed? Does it not matter?
Heat exchangers usually have the inlet fully open, with the outlet used to regulate the temperature. That is the chilled water outlet valve you mentioned.
