A hydraulic pump operates at 150 bars and delivers oil at 0.0015 m3/s to a hydraulic actuator. Oil discharges through the pressure relieve valve (PRV) during 50% of cycle time. The pump has an overall efficiency of 87%, and 15% of power is lost due to frictional pressure losses in the hydraulic lines. What heat –exchanger rating is required to dissipate all the generated heat?
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
