An air cooled condenser is to reject 70 KW of heat from a condensing refrigerant to air. The condenser has an air side area of 210 m2 and a U value based on this area of 0.037 KW/m2-K; it supplied with 6.6 m3/s of air which has a density of 1.15 kg/m3. If the condensing temperature is to be limited to 55°C, what is the maximum allowable temperature of the inlet air? (°C)
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
