What is Heat Ex-changer?
Heat Ex-changer works on the principle of Fluid Dynamics. Heat Ex-changer is a device which is used to exchange the heat from one medium of fluid to other medium of fluid. It is widely used in heavy machinery like Hot Water Generator, Air Conditioner, Adiabatic Coolers, Piston Pumps, Roll Oil Coolers, and Coil Condensers etc.

In this figure, there is coil in the medium and water is flowing through medium. In the coil, the hot water steam is moving, so there will be heat transfer from pipe to water, the water which is coming out, it would be hot and steam which is coming out, it would be cold.
Types of Heat Ex-changer:
1.Shell & Tube Heat Ex-changer
Shell & Tube Heat is most common heat ex-changer which is used in the industry. It consist of bunch of tubes supported by baffles. Baffles are important part to support the tubes while assembling. Bunch of tubes assembled inside the shell.

Shell & Tube Type Heat Ex-changers

Working:-
In given above figure, there is bunch of coil inside the shell. In tube, hot water is running and in shell there is cold water. It is counter flow heat exchanger cause the flow of both fluids in different direction. When hot water in tube is moving through cold water phases, it heat energy is transferred to the fluid or vice versa. Whatever the water is coming out, it would be hot.
2.Plate Type Heat Ex-changer
It consists of corrugated and thin metal plates, with small space between them. The metal plates having grooves. It has larger surface area, to travel heat .All plates are connected to rubber gaskets. The principle of this type of heat exchanger is thermal exchange in the properties of fluid.

SENSIBLE HEAT & LATENT HEAT

By
SENSIBLE HEAT Sensible heat produces a rise or fall in temperature of substance Sensible heat does not change physical state of substance LATENT HEAT Latent heat changes the state of substance i.e. Liquid to Gas, Solid to Liquid and Liquid to Solid in case of boiler . Latent heat does not cause temperature change in the substance

Why spirals are provided at the Idustrial Boiler Chimney

By
Chimney:- Chimney , as we know, is used to reject the flue gases to the atmosphere, coming from the Steam Boiler during operation. Also, it is a megastructure in Steam Boiler assembly and any discrepancy in its structural and foundation work can cause extremely serious damages, may even lead to casualties or plant shut off till its re-erection. The designer must consider all the factors while designing chimneys and one of the major factors amongst them is the wind factor. Blowing wind tries to overcome its static inertia but fails, if spirals are provided on the surface of the chimney. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW????? Consider a chimneys (without spiral wings) , when the blowing wind comes in contact with its upstream surface, stagnation point (zero velocity) is achieved at that point i.e. pressure generated is high at that point and at the downstream end a vacuum is created as the wind coming in contact with the chimneys , gets deflected and meets after some point (wake regio

Critical Thickness of Insulation and It's Effect on Boiler Efficiency

By
Welcome to the THERMODYNE BLOG, today in this article we are going to explore the thickness of insulation and its effect on boiler efficiency and other parameters. Critical thickness of insulation and its significance             The information in this article gives a significant collection of data you need to know about the boiler and its performance, the parameter that affects the boiler efficiency .         Table of content INTRODUCTION THICKNESS OF INSULATION CRITICAL RADIUS EFFECT ON BOILER EFFIIENCY INSULATING MATERIALS CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION- The  thickness  up to which heat flow increases and after which heat flow decreases is termed  critical thickness . In the case of cylinders and spheres, it is called the  critical radius . The  critical radius of insulation  can be derived depending on the thermal conductivity of the insulation k and the external convection heat transfer coefficient h. THICKNESS OF INSULATION- CRITICAL RADIUS-   In boiler the shell and tube are cyl
