Item Description
Heat exchangers connected in series and parallel arrangements to exchange heat between several hot and cold streams form a heat exchanger network. When the method of connecting is predominantly in series the network is often called a multistage heat exchanger system.
PRINCIPLE MULTI- PASS HEAT EXCHANGER:
– The heat transfer coefficient of tube side and shell side fluid is very important and the individual heat transfer coefficients must be high enough to attain high overall heat transfer coefficient. As the shell would be quite large as compared to the tubes, the velocity and the turbulence of the shell side fluid is important.
– In contrast, the multi pass heat exchanger has limitations also. When the tube side flow is divided evenly among all the tubes, the velocity may be quite low, resulting in low heat transfer coefficient. There it may be required to increase the area to have the desired heat exchange for this low heat transfer coefficient.
– The area may be increased by increasing the length of the tube. However, the tube length requirement may be impractical for a given situation. Thus the number of tubes should be increased without increased the tube length.
– The increased number of tubes would also provide the increased velocity in the shell side resulting in the higher heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, multi-pass construction is needed, which would permit to use the practical and standard tube lengths.
