The tube to tube sheet welding joints of heat exchanger is the most critical joints. A special Nondestructive testing technology was proposed, which is based on the digital radiographic imaging automatic inspection system to the characteristics on the tube to tube sheet welding joints of heat exchanger. A new style Linear Diode Arrays as a device is used to receive ray, which will be fixed on a...

Helical coil heat exchangers are widely used in industrial applications ranging fromcryogenic processes, air-conditioning, and nuclear reactors to waste heat recovery due totheir compact size and high heat transfer coefficient. In this kind of heat exchangers, flowand heat transfer are complicated. This paper reports a numerical investigation of theinfluence of different parameters such as coil...

The aim of this work is to bring forward a new style heat exchanger about hollow fiber membrane module, and to analyze the performance which can expectantly be applied in the lithium bromide absorption refrigeration system. Polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber membrane module was adopted as the new style solution heat exchanger, hot feed solution from the generator flowed into the lumen side of...

An experimental as well as numerical investigation was conducted on the melting/solidification processes of a stationary phase change material (PCM) in a shell around a finned-tube heat exchanger system. The PCM was stored in the horizontal annular space between a shell and finned-tube where distilled water was employed as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The focus of this study was on the behavi...

An experimental investigation for helical triple concentric tube heat exchanger has been carried out with different flow arrangements i.e. N-H-C (normal fluid inside hot at middle cold in outer annulus) and C-H-N (cold fluid in inner pipe hot in middle normal fluid in outer annulus) with parallel and counter flow types. The temperature distribution of fluids w.r.t. length of the heat exchanger ...

The heat transfer characteristics of a downhole heat exchanger (DHE) were studied experimentally in a laboratory scale. The permeable aquifer was simulated by using a rectangular tank filled with glass beads of diameter ranging from 3 to 5 mm. The downhole heat exchanger was modeled by a Ushaped copper tube. We have simulated various configurations of DHE by changing the geometrical parameters ...

This research aims to design a simple Shell and Tube (one pass) heat exchanger for applications in recovering wasted from air conditioning systems the hospitality industry. The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA) standard is used as reference of exchangers order obtain dimensional specifications device. In addition, mathematical calculations based on technical properties working ...

Abstract In this work the over-time behaviour of a shell-and-tube type heat exchanger applied to commercial and small-scale wood biomass gasification system was investigated. The exchanger, equipped with twisted tape turbulators, used cool down syngas produced by power plant. An experimental campaign conducted evaluate performance trend in first 15 hours operation. results showed an increase tr...
