Abstract

A lot of heat exchangers which are employed in the oil refineries, petro-chemical, chemical, dairy, pharmaceutical industries are simple shell and tube heat exchanger. However, there are certain drawbacks related to the technology like inadequate using of shell area pressure drop, flow zones which are dead round the baffle like structure, vibration, collection of unreactive chemical materials and low heat transfer. Despite, plenty of information is available, there is a serious lack of thermal-hydraulic design guidelines. We would like to show a very new fresh concept and formation of totally new advanced technology, referred to as Twisted Tube Design, which would surpass the drawbacks that are associated with orthodox shell and tube heat exchanger. This paper describes the experimental testing and working of twisted tube heat exchanger which upsurge the level of mixing and enhance turbulence in low Reynolds number range. This analysis examines the working performance, thermal design, and development of helical Tube shell type heat exchange equipment.
