Design Considerations for Compact Heat Exchangers
www.heatric.coma heat transfer surface with lower friction factor may be selected, but this tends to reduce the heat transfer coefficient and again require an increase in heat transfer area. III. HEAT TRANSFER SURFACES Compact heat exchangers are available with a range of surface types, generally intended to enhance surface density
The theory behind heat transfer - Alfa Laval
www.alfalaval.comhigher heat transfer coefficient per unit area is not only a smaller surface area requirement but also a more efficient operation. The high turbulence also gives a self-cleaning effect. Therefore, when compared to the traditional shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the fouling of the heat transfer surfaces is considerably reduced.
Chapter 16 HEAT EXCHANGERS
www.sfu.ca16-16C The most common type of fouling is the precipitation of solid deposits in a fluid on the heat transfer surfaces. Another form of fouling is corrosion and other chemical fouling. Heat exchangers may also be fouled by the growth of algae in warm fluids. This type of fouling is called the biological fouling.
