Heat Exchanger Design
• What can we learn from considering the temperature profile over the length of the heat exchanger in addition to the end points?

Consider the Heat – T diagram:
Draw T-Q profiles for cooling with changes in:– Sensible heat only (Cp)– Latent heat (condensation)– Desuperheating+latent heat
T
Heat transferred (Q) or
Distance along the exchanger (L)

–What are the equations for Q?

Expected profiles:
• Both profiles are linear
• No temperature cross
• Log mean temperature difference is fine for design
T
Heat transferred (Q) or
Distance along the exchanger (L)

Another case:
• Same inlet and outlet temperatures as first case
• Temperature crossover!
• Log mean temperature difference is not accurate!

Now what? Partition.
• Calculate two temperature differences
• Avoid temperature crossover
• What about the U’s?T

Nominal values for heat transfer coefficients:
gas cooling (small)
liquid (bigger)
condensing (very big)

What about a double pass HX?
• Same inlet and outlet T as in initial example
• Both profiles are linear• Temperature cross when
the fluid doubles back• Log mean temperature
difference must be corrected
• Now use F correction factors for geometry as discussed in example from last lecture.

Watch for:
• Changing conditions in the heat exchanger due to:– Transitions (sensible heat to latent heat)– Changes in composition (changes heating values!)
• Temperature crosses• Changing U• Is the use of a log mean temperature difference
justified?• Is partitioning of the exchanger required?

A final thought…
• If energy is conserved, we just rent energy as it flows through our process.
• If we can keep energy from crossing the boundaries of the process, we will reduce consumption….
• ….$$.....reduced impact….

Need a visual tool…
• Plot heat duties in the process on two composite curves:– Heating curve
– Cooling curve
• Note that heat duty can be moved from L to R, so organize by T profiles
• Where can process duties be integrated?
• Need at least 10 degrees C between streams
