Thread: High efficient Shell and tube heat exchanger

  1. #1

    High efficient Shell and tube heat exchanger

    I need a heat exchanger for air to air at atmospheric condition with a thermal efficiency of 90%. My problem is that when I increase the area of the tubes by tube numbers/sizes or length the velocity of air drop and thereby decrease the h and U values too. Is this efficiency simply above the limitation for a shell and tube type of exchanger?

    The design values are:
    0.718 kg/s air on both side
    Temperatures: Shell side in: 150 C out: 42 C, tube side in: 30 C out: 138 C.
    We want to keep the total pressure drop of both sides below say 2 kPa as fan operating.

    One solution is a heat exchanger with a U at 10 W/m2-K and a area around 740 m2 which would be to costly. (BEM shell &#216;1000 4000 tubes &#216;10 6 m long in AISI 316)

    Any ideas to solve this this velocity /area problem in this case?

    Understood as BEM shell ID 1000 mm and 4000 tubes OD 10 mm 6 m long
