The clean U for an exchanger is 800 BTU/(hr 0 F ft2). Its tube area is 600 ft2. After operating for several months heating water from 50 0F to 160 0F at a flow rate of 210 GPM with a heating fluid on the shell entering at 290 0F and exiting at 160 0 F has the overall U decreased significantly?
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.
