Full textAbstract:
Coaxial borehole heat exchangers provide a practical method for geothermal energy extraction, but heat transfer efficiency is low. In order to address this problem, three coaxial borehole heat exchangers with vortex generators, based on the enhanced heat transfer theory, are proposed in this paper. The author compared and analyzed the heat transfer performance of three coaxial borehole heat exchangers with vortex generators and those of traditional structures, which explains why the new heat exchanger’s heat transfer mechanism is enhanced. The results demonstrated that the vortex generator can enhance the fluid flow’s turbulent kinetic energy in the coaxial heat exchanger. This generator can also improve the mixing characteristics of the fluid flow and heat transfer. The resultant increase in the inlet flow velocity can decrease the friction coefficient f, increase the Nusselt number and strengthen the coaxial sleeve. As a result, the heat exchange performance of the tubular heat exchanger will also be improved. The thread vortex generator (TVG) heat exchanger outperforms the other three heat exchangers in terms of heat exchange performance, extraction temperature and heat extraction power. The results evidenced that the TVG heat exchanger is better than the smooth tube heat exchanger. The thermal performance coefficient PEC was improved by 1.1 times, and the extraction temperature and heating power were increased by 24.06% and 11.93%, respectively. A solid theoretical foundation is provided by the extracted outcomes for designing and selecting high-efficiency coaxial borehole heat exchangers suitable for geothermal energy extraction.

Heat exchangers are widely used in heat supply systems. To increase the efficiency of heat supply systems, heat exchangers with porous metals are proposed to design. There was a test facility set up to study new types of heat exchangers. The countercurrent flow of heat carriers was activated in those heat exchangers. Freon moved through the heat exchanger pores, and water moved through the inner tubes. It should be noted that the porous materials in the heat exchangers differed in the coefficient of porosity. To be compared, one of the heat exchangers did not contain any porous material. The first test cycle proved the feasibility of using porous metals in heat exchange equipment. Afterwards, a simplified mathematical model of the heat exchanger was compiled. Such an analytical form makes a solution convenient for engineering calculations. Numerical calculations based on this model were compared with the experimental data. Heat transfer intensity of materials with different porosity was compared.

Today, due to the reduction of energy resources in the world and its pollutants, energy storage methods and increase the thermal efficiency of various systems are very important. In this research, the thermal efficiency and energy storage of two heat exchangers have been investigated in series using phase change materials (RT82) and single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and graphene quantum dot nanoparticles (GQD) In this research, two heat exchangers have been used in combination. The first heat exchanger was in charge of storing thermal energy and the second heat exchanger was in charge of heat exchange. The reason for this is to improve the heat exchange of the main exchanger (shell and tube) by using heat storage in the secondary exchanger, which has not been addressed in previous research. The results of this study showed that using two heat exchangers in series, the thermal efficiency of the system has increased. Also, the heat energy storage of the double tube heat exchanger was obtained using phase change materials in the single-walled carbon nanotube composition of about 3000 W. The average thermal efficiency of the two heat exchangers as the series has increased by 52%. In general, the effect of the two heat exchangers on each other was investigated in series with two approaches (energy storage and energy conversion) using fin and nanoparticles, which obtained convincing results.

Heat exchange capacity increase is one of the main concerns in the process of manufacturing modern heat exchange equipment. Constructing heat exchangers with porous metals is an advanced technique of heat exchange increase. A construction of heat exchangers with porous aluminum is described in this paper. The first heat transfer agent (hot water) flows through thin copper tubes installed within the porous aluminum. The second heat transfer agent (freon) flows through the pores of aluminum. Laboratory facility was created to study such a heat exchanger. Series of experiments were carried out. The purpose of the research presented here is to create a mathematical model of heat exchangers with porous metals, to perform analytical calculation of the heat exchangers and to confirm the results with the experimental data. In this case, one can`t use the standard methods of heat exchangers calculation because the pores inner surface area is indeterminate. The developed mathematical model is based on the equation describing the process of cooling the porous plate. A special mathematical technique is used to take into account the effect of tubes with water. The model is approximate but its solution is analytic. It is convenient. One can differentiate it or integrate it, which is very important. Comparison of calculated and experimental data is performed. Divergence of results is within the limits of experimental error. If freon volatilizes inside the heat exchanger, the heat of phase transition has to be taken into account alongside with heat capacity. The structure of the mathematical model makes it possible. The results presented in this paper prove the practicability of using porous materials in heat exchange equipment.

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides the solution to the problem of defining thermal efficiency for heat exchangers based on the second law of thermodynamics. It is shown that corresponding to each actual heat exchanger, there is an ideal heat exchanger that is a balanced counter-flow heat exchanger. The ideal heat exchanger has the same UA, the same arithmetic mean temperature difference, and the same cold to hot fluid inlet temperature ratio. The ideal heat exchanger’s heat capacity rates are equal to the minimum heat capacity rate of the actual heat exchanger. The ideal heat exchanger transfers the maximum amount of heat, equal to the product of UA and arithmetic mean temperature difference, and generates the minimum amount of entropy, making it the most efficient and least irreversible heat exchanger. The heat exchanger efficiency is defined as the ratio of the heat transferred in the actual heat exchanger to the heat that would be transferred in the ideal heat exchanger. The concept of heat exchanger efficiency provides a new way for the design and analysis of heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks.

After successful increase of levels of thermal resistances of building enclosing structures, expenses of heat on ventilation of rooms in many cases reached similar magnitudes of indicators of heating in a cold season. Therefore, the development of new efficient heat exchangersheat exchangers of small size is of particular importance. It is possible now to create highperformance thin (of a few centimeters) heat exchangers of such high-porous heat-conducting materials as copper, aluminum, etc. Highly porous materials include porous-permeable structures having an open porosity (with a total pore surface area of more than 50 % in relation to a smooth surface). One of the main conditions for the qualitative use of such high-porous thermal conductive materials is the rapid removal of condensate outside the heat exchange zone without a significant increase in filtration resistance. Thermal calculation of such heat exchangers is based on the criteria of Fourier (Fu) and Predvoditelev (Рd). Various ways of using high-porous heat-conducting materials in the design of heat exchangers are considered. The method of production of the heat exchanger based on the application of porous-permeable material in the channels of the heat exchange part of recuperative devices is presented; the difference of the method is that the heat exchange part is performed of two or more parallel heat exchange plates with spacing between them. It has been found that a significant increase in the energy efficiency of heat exchangers of this type is possible due to the application of even small discontinuities of the heat-conducting layers of high-porous materials so to use the specific features of increased heat exchange of the initial sections with the flowing fluid. One of the main advantages of using air-to-air heat exchangers made of foamed high-heat-conducting material in the climatic conditions of Belarus is freezing resistance.

A classification of heat exchangers with fluidization of bulk material for use in enterprises of the chemical, mining, construction, food, metallurgical and processing industries has been developed. A critical review of the most characteristic designs of heat exchangers with a fluidized bed, proposed by scientists, designers and inventors of the leading countries of the world, has been carried out. The designs of heat exchangers are analyzed depending on the method of fluidization, the role of bulk material in the heat exchange process, the nature of the heat exchange process over time, the nature of fluidization (in continuous heat exchangers), the mechanism of heat exchange of bulk material, the number of fluidized beds, the presence of additional heat exchange devices in the heat exchanger, the presence of movable structural elements, as well as the type of bulk material of the fluidized bed.
An analysis of the designs of heat exchangers with a fluidized bed indicates their considerable diversity, however, the most simple to manufacture and operate reliable devices with fixed structural elements and one fluidized bed remain in demand by the industry. The most promising direction for improving fluidized bed heat exchangers is the development of specialized (for processing bulk material or fluid coolant) designs of apparatuses.
In the future, it is planned to analyze the designs of other types of heat exchangers, as well as ways to improve their efficiency.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the 100 nm ZrO2far infrared material on the heat exchange efficiency of smooth tube heat exchangers. In the experiments designed for this purpose, the ZrO2powder and water based acrylic paint were mixed separately using a two-step mixing method and the mixture samples were sprayed, respectively, onto heat exchangers for testing their heat exchange efficiency under stable ambient conditions. Results from the experiments showed 31.8% and 21.5% increases in heat transfer in the heat exchanger sprayed with 7.5 wt.% ZrO2powder and with inlet water temperatures at 45°C and 55°C relative to the heat exchanger sprayed with 0 wt.% acrylic paint and 26.4% and 18.9% increases in heat transfer relative to the heat exchanger not sprayed with acrylic paint. The experiments also verified that heat could be transferred through radiation. The additive ZrO2nanopowder in these experiments is proven to be able to improve the efficiency of heat exchangers through radiation, thereby increasing the feasibility of its application in practice.

The plate and concentric tube heat exchangers are tested by using the water-water and nanofluid-water streams. The ZnO/Water (0.5%v/v) nanofluid has been used as the hot stream. The heat transfer rate omitted of hot stream and overall heat transfer coefficients in both heat exchangers are measured as a function of hot and cold streams mass flow rates. The experimental results show that the heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficients of the nanofluid in both of the heat exchangers is higher than that of the base liquid (i.e., water) and the efficiency of plate heat exchange is higher than concentric tube heat exchanger. In the plate heat exchanger the heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid at mcold = mhot = 10 gr/sec is about 20% higher than base fluid and under the same conditions in the concentric heat exchanger is 14% higher than base fluid. The heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficients increases with increase in mass flow rates of hot and cold streams. Also the CFD1 code is used to simulate the performance of the mentioned heat exchangers. The CFD results are compared to the experimental data and showed good agreement. It is shown that the CFD is a reliable tool for investigation of heat transfer of nanofluids in the various heat exchangers.

Abstract The intermittent flow cold storage surface heat exchanger is a key component of the new pulse tube expansion cryogenic refrigerator, which is responsible for the periodic heat transfer of cold and hot helium, and its heat exchange efficiency directly affects the thermodynamic efficiency of the whole machine. In this study, a three-dimensional model of the heat exchanger unit is established, and numerical simulation is employed to investigate its heat exchange characteristics. The analysis focuses on understanding the internal temperature distribution patterns within the heat exchanger and explores the influence of wall materials on its heat transfer characteristics. Results show that the existence of the temperature lag loop minimizes the effective heat transfer temperature difference, consequently decreasing the heat exchanger’s efficiency. Moreover, the choice of wall material significantly affects the performance of the heat exchanger, with optimal thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat enhancing its efficiency. This research provides valuable insights for future design and improvement of similar heat exchangers.

Abstract Due to the application of coil-shaped coils in a compressed gas flow exchanger and water pipe flow in airconditioner devices, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, both industrial and domestic, need to be optimized to improve exchange capacity of heat exchangers by reducing the pressure drop. Today, due to the reduction of fossil fuel resources and the importance of optimal use of resources, optimization of thermal, mechanical and electrical devices has gained particular importance. Compressed heat exchangers are the devices used in industries, especially oil and petrochemical ones, as well as in power plants. So, in this paper we try to optimize compressed heat exchangers. Variables of the functions or state-of-the-machine parameters are optimized in compressed heat exchangers to achieve maximum thermal efficiency. To do this, it is necessary to provide equations and functions of the compressed heat exchanger relative to the functional variables and then to formulate the parameter for the gas pressure drop of the gas flow through the blades and the heat exchange surface in relation to the heat duty. The heat transfer rate to the gas-side pressure drop is maximized by solving the binary equation system in the genetic algorithm. The results show that using optimization, the heat capacity and the efficiency of the heat exchanger improved by 15% and the pressure drop along the path significantly decreases.

Geothermal energy can be useful after extraction from geothermal wells, borehole heat exchangers and/or natural sources. Types of geothermal boreholes are geothermal wells (for geothermal water production and injection) and borehole heat exchangers (for heat exchange with the ground without mass transfer). The purpose of geothermal production wells is to harvest the geothermal water present in the aquifer. They often involve a pumping chamber. Geothermal injection wells are used for injecting back the produced geothermal water into the aquifer, having harvested the energy contained within. The paper presents the parameters of geothermal boreholes in Poland (geothermal wells and borehole heat exchangers). The definitions of geothermal boreholes, geothermal wells and borehole heat exchangers were ordered. The dates of construction, depth, purposes, spatial orientation, materials used in the construction of geothermal boreholes for casing pipes, method of water production and type of closure for the boreholes are presented. Additionally, production boreholes are presented along with their efficiency and the temperature of produced water measured at the head. Borehole heat exchangers of different designs are presented in the paper. Only 19 boreholes were created at the Laboratory of Geoenergetics at the Faculty of Drilling, Oil and Gas, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow; however, it is a globally unique collection of borehole heat exchangers, each of which has a different design for identical geological conditions: heat exchanger pipe configuration, seal/filling and shank spacing are variable. Using these boreholes, the operating parameters for different designs are tested. The laboratory system is also used to provide heat and cold for two university buildings. Two coefficients, which separately characterize geothermal boreholes (wells and borehole heat exchangers) are described in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
An efficient and accurate method for optimizing capsule-type plate heat exchangers is proposed in this paper. This method combines computational fluid dynamics simulation, a backpropagation algorithm and multi-objective optimization to obtain better heat transfer performance of heat exchanger structures. For plate heat exchangers, the heat transfer coefficient j and friction coefficient f are a pair of contradictory objectives. The optimization of capsule-type plate heat exchangers is a multi-objective optimization problem. In this paper, a backpropagation neural network was used to construct an approximate model. The plate shape was optimized by a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The optimized capsule-type plate heat exchanger has lower flow resistance and higher heat exchange efficiency. After optimization, the heat transfer coefficient is increased by 8.3% and the friction coefficient is decreased by 14.3%, and the heat transfer effect is obviously improved. Further, analysis of flow field characteristics through field co-ordination theory provides guidance for the further optimization of plates.

In central heating systems, heat is often transferred from heat source to users by the heat network where several heat exchangers are installed at the heat source, substations, and terminals. In this article, the mathematical optimization model of the cascade heat exchange network with three-stage heat exchangers in a series is established. The aim is to maximize the cold fluid temperature for a given hot fluid temperature and overall heating capacity, the optimal heat exchange area distribution, and the medium fluid flow rates are determined through an inverse problem and variation method. The results show that the heat exchange areas should be distributed equally for each heat exchanger. It also indicates that in order to improve the thermal performance of the whole system, more heat exchange areas should be allocated to the heat exchanger where flow rate difference between two fluids is relatively small.

Heat exchangers or heat exchangers are tools used to change the temperature of the fluid or change the fluid phase by exchanging heat with another fluid. In a heat exchanger, the ability to exchange heat is largely determined by the type of fluid flow and fluid passing through the heat exchanger. The use of heat exchangers in the field of drying is now a necessity to overcome the problems of drying productivity. The purpose of this study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of the heat exchanger experimentally based on directional flow by comparing construction using baffle and without using baffle in an effort to optimize the drying system. The research method was carried out by fabricating 2 units of heat exchangers and by field testing. The test data obtained are the input and output temperatures of the heating fluid flow and cooling fluid flow and flow velocity. Based on preliminary research data shows that the use of baffle affects the increase in temperature on the heat exchanger, where at the fresh air outlet that does not use baffle produces a temperature of 72oC while the baffle produces 88oC with the Log Mean Temperature Difference heat exchanger without using a baffle higher than heat exchanger that uses a baffle guide blade. This can illustrate that the smaller heat losses are wasted so that the absorption of heat by the reverse system will be higher.

This paper mainly explores the numerical simulation of flow and temperature fields in the shell-side of the radial heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE), using CFD software-FLUENT. Field synergy principle is applied to analyze heat and mass transfer mechanism of heat exchangers; also, the influence of the variation of principle constructor parameters of heat exchangers on the field synergy effect and heat exchange performance has been studied. It has been found that better performance of heat exchangers is achieved with better field synergy effect; in the context of increasing transverse and longitudinal tube pitches within certain values of data, the heat transfer coefficient decreases as synergy angle increases. Variation of fin height has little effect on synergy angle, but it would decrease the heat transfer coefficient at unit pressure drop (k/Δp) as it increases; as fin pitch increases, the synergy angle first decreases and then grows, while k/Δp first increases and then decreases. The optimal ranges of heat exchanger structure parameters values were found.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, in order to obtain a radiator with strong heat exchange capacity, researchers have proposed a lot of heat exchangers to improve heat exchange capacity significantly. However, the cooling abilities of heat exchangers designed by traditional design methods is limited even if the geometric parameters are optimized at the same time. However, using topology optimization to design heat exchangers can overcome this design limitation. Furthermore, researchers have used topology optimization theory to designed one-to-one and many-to-many inlet and outlet heat exchangers because it can effectively increase the heat dissipation rate. In particular, it can further decrease the hot-spot temperature for many-to-many inlet and outlet heat exchangers. Therefore, this article proposes novel heat exchangers with three inlets and one outlet designed by topology optimization to decrease the fluid temperature at the outlet. Subsequently, the effect of the channel depth on the heat exchanger design is also studied. The results show that the type of exchanger varies with the channel depth, and there exists a critical depth value for obtaining the minimum substrate temperature difference. Then, the flow and heat transfer performance of the heat exchangers are numerically investigated. The numerical results show that the heat exchanger derived by topology optimization with the minimum temperature difference as the goal (Model-2) is the best design for flow and heat transfer performance compared to other heat sink designs, including the heat exchanger derived by topology optimization having the average temperature as the goal (Model-1) and conventional straight channels (Model-3). The temperature difference of Model-1 can be reduced by 37.5%, and that of Model-2 can be decreased by 62.5% compared to Model-3. Compared with Model-3, the thermal resistance of Model-1 can be reduced by 21.86%, while that of Model-2 can be decreased by 47.99%. At room temperature, we carried out the forced convention experimental test for Model-2 to measure its physical parameters (temperature, pressure drop) to verify the numerical results. The error of the average wall temperature between experimental results and simulation results is within 2.6 K, while that of the fluid temperature between the experimental and simulation results is within 1.4 K, and the maximum deviation of the measured Nu and simulated Nu was less than 5%. This indicated that the numerical results agreed well with the experimental results.

The finned-tube heat exchanger is the core part of an air conditioning system. Its heat exchange performance directly affects the energy consumption and efficiency of the air conditioner. The shortage and rising price of copper have led to increasing replacement of copper tubes with aluminum tubes in finned-tube heat exchangers. This paper studies two kinds of such heat exchangers, one consisting of copper tubes and aluminum fins and the other consisting of aluminum tubes and aluminum fins. The influences of the different base tube materials on heat transfer are compared and analyzed in terms of heat transfer strength and cost per unit heat transfer. The results show that the heat transfer and heat transfer coefficient increase with increasing inlet wind speed. Under different inlet wind speeds, the heat transfer and heat transfer coefficient of the finned-tube heat exchanger with aluminum tubes are 4%–12% and 7%%–9% lower than those of an identically structured heat exchanger with copper tubes, respectively. The aluminum-aluminum exchanger achieves 67% higher heat transfer than that of the copper-aluminum exchanger at only 8% of the cost. These results are significant for guiding the development and application of finned-tube heat exchangers.

The design of optimal heat exchangers is formulated as the solution of five simultaneous equations. The analysis of these equations yields general properties of optimal crossflow heat exchangers; in particular, an upper bound of 1/3 is given for the fractional cost of maintaining the flow through the heat exchanger. Some of these general properties also apply in the presence of a simple constraint. It is shown that some technically feasible designs cannot be optimal under realistic costs and others under any costs.

The effect of axial conduction through heat exchanger matrix, heat exchange with the surroundings, and variable fluid properties are included in the simulation algorithm of multistream plate fin heat exchangers. The procedure involves partitioning of the exchanger in both axial and normal directions, writing conservation equations for each segment, and solving them using an iterative procedure. In the normal direction, the exchanger is divided into a stack of overlapping two-stream exchangers interacting through their common streams. In the axial direction, the exchanger is successively partitioned to 2k segments, the final value of k being determined by the point where further partitioning has only marginal effect. The effects of axial conduction, heat leakage, and variable fluid properties are illustrated with the help of multistream heat exchanger examples solved by the above-mentioned technique.

In order to maximize the thermal efficiency of shell and coil heat exchangers, substantial research has been done and geometrical modification is one way to improve the exchange of thermal energy between two or more fluids. One of the peculiar features of coiled geometry is that the temperature distribution is highly variable along the circumferential section due to the centrifugal force induced in the fluid. Moreover, most researchers are concentrated on using a shell and single helical coil heat exchanger to enhance the heat transfer rate and thermal efficiency at different operating parameters. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate temperature variation ((T-1, T-2, T-3 and T-4) across a shell and single/double coil heat exchanger at different coil pitches, hot water flow rate, and cold-water flow rate along the outer surface of the coil using experimental and numerical analysis. For single and double coil heat exchangers, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is carried out using pure water with a hot water flow rate ranging between 1-2 l/min for the coil side heat exchanger. For single coil heat exchangers, the numerical analysis findings showed a good agreement with experimental four-temperature measurement results (T-1, T-2, T-3 and T-4) with an error rate of 1.80%, 3.05%, 5.34% and 2.17% respectively. Moreover, in the current double coil analysis, the hot outlet temperature decreased by 3.07% compared to a single coil (baseline case) at a 2.5L/min hot water flow rate. In addition, increasing the coil pitch will increase the contact between the hot fluid and the coil at a constant hot water flow rate and thereby decrease the hot fluid outlet temperature. Finally, a computational analysis was carried out to examine the flow structure inside single and double coil heat exchangers, and the findings indicated that the effect of centrifugal forces in double coil heat exchangers at various coil pitches caused the secondary flow to be substantially reduced.

Abstract To save traditional energy sources in mechanical ventilation systems, it is advisable to use low-energy ground energy for preheating or cooling the outside air. Heat exchange between ground and outside air occurs in ground heat exchangers. Many factors influence the process of heat transfer between air in the heat exchanger and the ground, in particular geological and climatic parameters of the construction site, parameters of the ventilation air in the projected house, physical and geometric parameters of the heat exchanger tube. Part of the parameters when designing a ventilation system with earth-air heat exchangers couldn’t be changed. The one of the factors, the change which directly affects the process of heat transfer between ground and air, is convective heat transfer coefficient from the internal surface of the heat exchanger tube. In this article the designs of a horizontal earthair heat exchanger with heat pipes was proposed. The use of heat pipes in designs of a horizontal heat exchanger allows intensification of the process of heat exchange by turbulence of air flow inside the heat exchanger. Besides this, additionally heat transfer from the ground to the air is carried out at the expense of heat transfer in the heat pipe itself.

Heat exchangers make it possible to utilize energy efficiently, reducing the cost of energy production or consumption. For example, they can be used to improve the efficiency of gas turbines. Improving the efficiency of a heat exchanger directly affects the efficiency of the device for which it is used. One of the most effective ways to intensify heat exchange in a heat exchanger without a significant increase in mass-dimensional characteristics and changes in the input parameters of the flows is the introduction of turbulators into the heat exchangers. This article investigates the increase in efficiency of heat exchanger apparatuses by introducing turbulent lattice structures manufactured with the use of additive technologies into their design. The study is carried out by numerical modeling of the heat transfer process for two sections of the heat exchanger: with and without the lattice structure inside. It was found that lattice structures intensify the heat exchange by creating vortex flow structures, as well as by increasing the heat exchange area. Thus, the ratio of convection in thermal conductivity increases to 3.03 times. Also in the article, a comparative analysis of the results obtained with the results of heat transfer intensification using classical flow turbulators is carried out. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the investigated turbulators are more effective than classical ones, however, the pressure losses in the investigated turbulators are much higher.

A review has been conducted of key trends in the development of geometric topology of geothermal heat exchangers. Authors proposed approaches to improving the designs and network structures for heat-transfer media circulation in the bottom-hole space of oil-and-gas reservoirs. Four geometric topologies of geothermal heat exchangers have been analysed: І – ІІ – rectilinear vertical smooth and finned pipelines; ІІІ – IV – a cluster in the form of a set of smooth and finned single-pipe elements, representing a figure of “squirrel wheel” or “meridian sphere” type. It is shown that the most effective technical solution, which ensures the increase in the coefficient of performance (COP) of bore-hole geothermal systems is finning the heat exchanging pipes. For the heat exchangers of І – ІІ type, the calculated increase in COP in comparison with smooth pipes is 40%, and for ІІІ – IV type – 95%. The key parameters influencing the COP of a geothermal heat exchanger are: the radius of fluids draining out during the heat exchange process, the radius of pipelines with circulating heat-transfer medium, the diameter of a cluster heat exchanger, the heat exchange area, the parameters of rocks thermal resistance in the bottom-hole zone of heat-receiving.

The development of heat exchangers from two streams to multi-stream passage arrangement becomes a key problem for heat exchanger design. In this paper, a new design is developed for multi-stream (four-channel) heat exchanger. Multi-channel heat exchangers are extensively used in refrigeration and air conditioning, chemical industries, milk pasteurization, cryogenics industries and energy-recovery applications due to their higher heat transfer rates. The focus of this study is to determine the performance of four-channel counter flow heat exchanger. The hot and cold fluids are assumed to recirculate and exchange heat between them. Finite element model of the heat exchanger is developed based on the detailed geometry and the specific working conditions with the help of which effectiveness of the four-channel heat exchanger is computed. Non-Dimensional parameters are introduced which makes the analysis more versatile. The effectiveness is computed for different values of NTU and heat capacity ratio.

Determining the performance of indirect solar heating systems that use thermosyphon heat exchangers requires knowledge of how thermosyphon flow rate and heat exchanger performance vary with operating conditions. In this paper, measured performance of a two-pass, tube-in-shell, double-wall heat exchanger is discussed in terms of modeling issues. Thermosyphon heat exchangers may operate in the developing, mixed convection regime where natural convection effects can significantly influence overall heat transfer and friction coefficients. Existing models which assume the thermal and hydraulic behaviors of thermosyphon heat exchangers are only functions of the thermosyphon and collector flow rates may not be suitable for all heat exchanger types. For example, the overall heat-transfer coefficient-area product for the two-pass, tube-in-shell heat exchanger is best expressed as a function of Reynolds, Grashof, and Prandtl numbers on the thermosyphon side of the heat exchanger. It is proposed that annual simulations of solar water heaters with thermosyphon heat exchangers use this type of relationship to characterize heat transfer in the heat exchanger.

Plate heat exchangers are realized by means of a heat transfer mechanism, in which heat is naturally transferred from the hot substance to the object with a lower temperature according to the laws of thermodynamics. Two liquids of different temperatures flow on the wall, heat transfer on the wall and convection of the liquid on the wall, thus promoting heat transfer between the two liquids. Under the same flow rate and power consumption conditions, its heat transfer coefficient is three times that of shell and tube heat exchangers, which is a key and efficient new equipment for effectively using effective resources and saving and developing new energy. However the heat supply plate heat exchanger has a tiny circulation surface and is easily obstructed. Regular maintenance and cleaning, troubleshooting, and plate replacement all necessitate frequent heat exchanger disassembly and installation. The requirements and challenges in dismantling and assembling the heat exchanger are very high, and manual disassembly is wasteful, making consistent force difficult to achieve. The current methods of disassembly and assembly are inefficient and incorrect. The intelligent mechanization of disassembly and assembly equipment is realized in this paper by driving, clamping, automatic control, distance measurement, sensing, and other systems. The problems of uneven force, low efficiency, and precision in plate heat exchanger disassembly and assembly are solved. Our power disassembly equipment for high efficiency heat transfer plate heat exchangers not only enhances disassembly efficiency and precision, but it also ensures the safe operation of the plate heat exchanger heating system, and the heat transfer efficiency and heat exchange efficiency are improved. Furthermore, it has a wide range of applications in the petroleum, chemical, and other industries.

The dendritic fin was introduced to improve the solid-liquid phase change in heat exchangers. A theoretical model of melting phase change in dendritic heat exchangers was developed and numerically simulated. The solid-liquid phase interface, liquid phase rate and dynamic temperature change in dendritic heat exchanger during melting process are investigated and compared with radial-fin heat exchanger. The results indicate that the dendritic fin is able to enhance the solid-liquid phase change in heat exchanger for latent thermal storage. The presence of dendritic fin leads to the formation of multiple independent PCM zones, so the heat can be quickly diffused from one point to across the surface along the metal fins, thereby making the PCM far away from heat sources melt earlier and faster. In addition, the dendritic structure makes the PCM temperature distribution more uniform over the entire zone inside heat exchangers due to high-efficient heat flow distribution of dendritic fins. As a result, the time required for the complete melting of the PCM in dendritic heat exchanger is shorter than that of the radial-fin heat exchanger.

Heat exchangers are devices whose primary responsibility is to transfer heat, typically from one fluid to another. In such applications, the heat exchangers can be parallel flow, crossflow, or counter flow. An essential part of any heat exchanger analysis is the determination of the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. In the present work, three different types of heat exchangers are investigated. Numerical and experimental performance analyses are applied. The main objective of the present work is to compare the effectiveness of each heat exchanger at different conditions. Six experimental investigations for Plate, shell & tube, and fluidized bed heat exchangers are executed. All experimental tests are reached to steady-state conditions. The results show that the counter flow plate heat exchanger has an effectiveness of 90% compared with the parallel flow of 60% effectiveness for working experimental conditions. Also, the fouling effect in decreasing heat transfer is cleared. In the present work, fouling decreases effectiveness from about 18% to about 4%. In addition, the effectiveness of the fluidized bed heat exchanger depends on the material used for the bed. Finally, the overall heat transfer coefficient is obtained and compared for all experimental tests, and it is directly proportional to the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. The FEHT program is used to get the temperature distribution in all types of present work heat exchangers.

Baffles with holes in different diameters (or HDD baffles) and conically-corrugated tubes are respectively longitudinal flow baffle and high-efficiency heat exchange tubes proposed by the author. In this paper, vibrations of tube bundles with HDD baffles and fluid flow as well as heat transfer inside conically-corrugated tubes were numerically simulated, and the heat exchanger with conically-corrugated tubes and HDD baffles was tested for the heat transfer efficiency. It is found that compared with the traditional segmental baffles, tube bundle vibrations in heat exchangers, if using the HDD baffles, can be significantly reduced. Regarding heat transfer efficiency, conically-corrugated tubes are much better than smooth tubes and even better than other high-efficiency heat transfer tubes. Compared with the traditional heat exchangers, heat exchangers constructed with conically-corrugated tubes and the HDD baffles can provide better heat transfer efficiency and less tube bundle vibration.

Heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit is a vital task in the process design to improve energy savings. Various types of heat exchangers such as shell and tube, double-pipe, compact plate, and spiral tube have their working temperature ranges and costs. Selecting suitable types of heat exchangers according to their temperature ranges and costs is a crucial aspect of industrial implementation. However, considering the type of heat exchangers in the HEN retrofit process is rarely seen in previous publications. This issue can be solved by the proposed Shifted Retrofit Thermodynamic Grid Diagram with the Shifted Temperature Range of Heat Exchangers (SRTGD-STR). The temperature ranges of six widely used heat exchanger types are coupled in the grid diagram. This diagram enables the visualisation of identifying the potential retrofit plan of HEN with heat-exchanger type selection. The retrofit design aims to minimise utility cost and capital cost. An illustrative example and a case study are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

They are considering the increasing demand and urgent need in different industries and the importance of heat exchangers imposed the development of heat exchangers to increase heat transfer and increase general performance, reducing volume and cost. The essential heat exchanger used in many industries is the double tube heat exchanger. This type has been distinguished by its simplicity and wide use in recent years. Several improvement methods have been applied, including passive, active, and compound techniques. Passive technologies change the geometry of heat exchangers and are one of the most effective processes to increase overall heat performance. Besides, the hybridization of flow liquids is one of the most critical approaches to increase heat transfer as nanofluids. This review discusses and analyzes the evolution of heat exchangers and methods for improving passive heat transmission. In addition, experimental and numerical research that used nanofluids in heat exchangers was discussed. Moreover, different twisted shapes of the heat exchanger tubes (elliptical and oval, square, and triangle) were studied, which generated secondary eddy flow that increases the intensity of turbulence and mixing, thus improving heat transfer. Also, additives inside heat exchanger tubes include twisted tapes, ribs, and conical rings. The engagement between the Nusselt number and the coefficient of friction was also offered.

This article presents an analysis of rotary heat exchangers (RHE) used as heat recovery units in building ventilation systems in cold climates. Usually, heat exchangers with the highest heat transfer efficiency are the preferable option for this purpose. However, such exchangers usually have the highest media pressure drop, thus requiring the highest amount of energy for media transportation. In this study, the problem is solved by analysing the lifecycle cost (LCC) of the RHE including both the recovered heat and the electricity consumed in the fans of the air handling unit (AHU). The purpose of the investigation was to determine the optimal set of geometrical characteristics such as the exchanger’s length, foil thickness, the height and width of the air channel. Two hundred and seventy different combinations were examined using analytical dependencies and ANSYS simulations. The results are compared with experimental data obtained earlier at the KOMFOVENT laboratory. The results show that the best overall energy efficiency is obtained in heat exchangers that do not offer the best heat recovery efficiency, and LCC differences in the same climatic and economic conditions can go as high as 31 %, mainly due to the geometrical parameters of the heat exchanger.

Introduction. Being used in various industries, heat exchangers most often work under conditions of variable coolant flows and temperatures. At the same time, the existing theories of calculating the heat exchanger operation modes are based on the use of constant unitless parameters at any operation mode. Taking into account the effect of coolant rates on the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchangers, the given relations are bound to specific types of heat exchangers and can only be used at constant coolant temperatures. The purpose of this study is to obtain expressions for determining the effect of coolant flow rates on the variable heat exchanger parameter.
Materials and methods. The main variable operation modes for water-to-water heat exchangers used in heat supply systems are determined. Using simulation in the PTC Mathcad software, dependencies describing the change in the heat exchanger parameter for all the considered variable operation modes are defined. This made it possible to obtain a general formula for the change in the heat exchanger parameter for varying coolant flow rates. Coefficients in this formula take into consideration the effect of coolant temperatures, which cannot be known when calculating variable conditions, especially when the interconnected heat exchangers are operating.
Results. To test applicability of the existing relations describing the change in the heat exchanger parameter and of obtained formula, a large number of heat exchangers is calculated at variable operation modes. Comparison with the simulation results shows that the correlations of heat exchanger theories work well at the mode with constant coolant temperatures only, while their use at other operation modes can lead to large calculation errors.
Conclusions. The obtained formula allows finding the effect of coolant flow rates on the variable heat exchanger parameter. The formula can be used to predict the operation modes of large systems including a large number of various-type heat exchangers.

Normally, the exchanger that is used for this purpose is shell and tube heat exchanger but in some industrial production unit where more than one reactant is to be preheated or pre-cooled for chemical reaction and same as post heating and post cooling required of multiple streams at same or different temperatures, Problem that is associated with such type shell and tube heat exchanger is that it can’t handle the multiple stream and for handling multiple streams we required more number of exchangers due to which capital cost increases and required more care of handling because the number of units increases. To overcome this problem, we need more than one heat sinks with one or more than one heat source that will minimize the covered volume per unit heat transfer area, the number of unit operation, operation time, man power and the capital cost with increasing thermal efficiency and heat utilization so to overcome this problem we need to move towards multi stream heat exchanger for handling multiple streams at once for heat exchange. Multi stream heat exchanger is opening of a new class of heat transfer equipment which deals more than two different streams for heat exchange. Such a way number of units can be reduced, which minimize time and space. With a little bit increase in complexity the operational cost will decrease and improve the thermal efficiency of heat transfer equipment, which minimize thermal losses and maximize the heat utilization which directly decrease the equipment size and capital cost. In the previous study we have discuss our research on the fabrication and Comparative Study of Floating Head (Triple pipe) Multi Stream Heat Exchanger with Shell & Tube This work is about the investigation involves the tentative examination of the heat exchange through the Floating Head Multi-Stream Heat Exchanger to evaluate the temperature distribution along the length, in which cool liquids are flowing through the inner and external pipe and hot liquid is moving through the central pipe of the exchanger.
