What is heat Transfer and Heat Exchangers

 HEAT EXCHANGERS 

What is heat Transfer:-

Heat Transfer  is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler  object.

Heat Transfer done from a hot or warm area to a cold medium in 3 ways:

By radiation from a warm surface to a cooler surface through air space 

By conduction through solisolid or fluid materials 

By convection which involves the physical  movement of air 


Basics for heat Transfer are:-

Difference in temperature between the hot and cold  fluids, greater the difference-higher the rate at which the heat will flow between them.

area of the conductive barrier provided for heat flow. The greater the area, the larger the amount of  heat that will flow in a given time with a given temperature difference.

rate of heat flow into,or,out, from each of the fluids. High high resistance to heat flow in either fluid will produce a slow overall rate of Transfer.

flow of heat through the conductive barrier between fluids. Material chosen has to be compatible with the fluids of the process, it most not corrode or contaminate the fluids. 


What is Heat Exchangers:-

A heat exchanger is a device which allows Transfer of heat energy from one fluid to another fluid,generally without mixing the two different fluid. Regardless of the operate that a device fulfills,to Transfer heat,the fluids concerned should be at totally different temperatures and that they should acquire thermal contact, since heat will flow only from the hot to the cool liquid. 


A heat exchanger can serve any of the following purposes.

1.  To heat a cooler fluid by means of a hotter fluid 

2.  To reduce the temperature of a hot fluid by means of a cooler fluid 

3.  To boil liquid by means of a hotter fluid 

4.  To condense a gaseous fluid by means of a cooler fluid 

5.  To boil a liquid while condensing a hotter gaseous fluid 

Heat Transfer in a heat Exchangers is calculated by the following formula:-


Q= m× Cp × dT


Where,

          Q= Heat transfer 

         m= mass flow rate of fluid 

        Cp= Specific Heat of the fluid 

        dT= Temperature difference between                  Inlet and outlet of the fluid

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit

  How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit Overview Air Handling unit is a system used to supply temperature and Humidity controlled filtered air to the cleanroom. For air filtration various types of filters are used in AHU. And for temperature and Humidity controlling cooling and heating coils are provided in AHU. Goals Control the temperature of air used in the cleanroom  Control the humidity of air used in cleanroom  Air filters Specifications    The air Handling unit consists of Air filter  Cooling coil Heating coil Air blower HEPA Filter  Controlling of Temperature and Humidity  By Cooling Method  The cooling coil recirculates the chilled water having temperatures between 4°C to 6°C. This chilled water comes from the Chiller through centrifugal pumps. When we start the Air Handling unit blowers sucks the air through the pre filters of the air Handling unit. When blowers sucks air, it passes through the cooling co...

AIR FLOW, AIR VELOCITY, ACPH, AHU CAPACITY

Air Changes per Hour AIR VELOCITY AND ACPH OF ROOM OR AREA   Procedure to be followed: Air Velocity Measurement and Calculation of Air Changes: Objective : To demonstrate  that the   air system is balanced and capable of delivering air velocities and providing number of air changes per hour in the respective rooms as   per requirement. Equipment to be used: Hotwire Anemometer or capture Hood Pre Requisite: Air Volumes through supply and return grills and filters should be adjusted as per the design requirement of Air Change Rate and Differential Pressure. Test Method : Ensure that the Supply blower of the AHU is "ON" prior to the start of the observations. For compliance of air change rate, velocity to be measured at 5   different locations to below the each terminal or Grill (Four Corners and center) with the help of calibrated Anemometer. Calculate the   average  velocity of the air coming from Plenum HEPA filter / supply air grill. Calculate the air...

Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system

 Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system       it's all about the relationship between a temperature and pressure and how the pressure affect the boiling point of the refrigerant. As the pressure of refrigerant increases then the temperature and boiling point also increases,  when pressure decreased temperature and boiling point also decreases. Refrigeration and air conditioning systems take use of it to cool the air or liquid.   Normal Refrigeration System      In normal refrigeration system compressor compresses the refrigerant which causes the increase in pressure and temperature of refrigerant. The hot vapour refrigerant pass through the condenser in condenser heat exchange happens and refrigerant condensate into liquid forms.Before entering in the evaporator high pressure liquid refrigerant pass through the expansion of valve. The actual device used depends on the Refrigeration system but capillary t...
