Abstract: | Copyright © 2022 by the authors. In boiler houses, the biggest heat energy losses are caused by flue gas being released into the atmosphere. Installation of condensing heat exchangers allows reducing the temperature of the flue gas being released, condensation of water vapor, and, thus, efficient use of the waste heat. There are many investigations of average heat transfer in different types of condensing heat exchangers. They indicate also that the cooling water flow rate and its temperature are important parameters defining water vapor condensation efficiency. Investigations of local condensation heat transfer in condensing heat exchangers are very limited. Only recently experimental investigations of the flue gas temperature and Re number effect on local condensation heat transfer in the model of the condensing heat exchanger at a constant cooling water flow rate and its temperature have started being published. In this paper, for the first time, detailed experimental investigations of the cooling water flow rate and its temperature effect on local condensation heat transfer of the water vapor from the flue gas in the model of the condensing heat exchanger (long vertical tube) are presented. The results revealed that at higher flue gas Rein, the effect of the cooling water flow rate and its temperature has a stronger impact on local heat transfer distribution along the test section. |
