Increasing heat Exchanger Performance KEVIN M. LUNSFORD, Bryan Research & Engineering, Inc., Bryan, Texas INTRODUCTION Increasing heat Exchanger Performance usually means transferring more duty or operating the Exchanger at a closer temperature approach. This can be accomplished without a dramatic increase in surface area. This constraint directly translates to Increasing the overall heat transfer coefficient, U. The overall heat transfer coefficient is related to the surface area, A, duty, Q, and driving force, T. This equation is found in nearly all heat Exchanger design references1-3.
to heat transfer. Most of the heat transfer and film coefficients for finned tubes are available in the open literature and supported in most commercial heat exchanger rating packages. Recent papers also describe predicting finned tube performance10. Data for the performance of low finned tubes as compared to generalized correlations
