Getting Started Part 1: Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
WEBJul 18, 2024 · 0.7 (120 - T1) = T2 - 40 = T1 - 40. Therefore: T1 = T2 = 72.9°C. If the temperature cross is neglected, by use of a multi-pass shell or a number of exchangers in series, T1 can be set at 50°C (a 10°C approach) and so T2 = 89°C and the amount of heat recovered increases by 49%.
