Abstract:

This article deals with the problem of heat energy transfer from a steam-gas mixture with a constant temperature of 220 °C. An experimental study of the transfer of heat energy from a steam-gas mixture by a recuperative heat exchanger with a ribbed surface at the industrial enterprise “PULP Invest”, located at the production site of the industrial park Technopolis “Khimgrad” in Kazan, is presented. The design of a heat exchanger with a ribbed surface is described. The finned surface of the recuperative heat exchanger allowed intensifying the transfer of heat flow, due to the appearance of turbulent vortices of the vapor-gas medium when it moves between the transversely arranged fins. For a heated heat carrier, water was used, which in the future is planned to be used for technological and economic needs. This paper presents the experimental method and measuring instruments. During the experiments, the initial temperature of the cold coolant (water) varied from 28.8 to 31.9 °C. The series of experiments included 7 experiments with a different volume flow of water from 60 to 120 liters/hour. The initial volume flow rate was 60 l/h, the flow rate change step was 10 l/h. The results of the studies showed that the time of the output of the studied parameters: temperature head, heat flow and heat transfer coefficient to the stationary mode was 265 s. When entering the stationary mode with a volume flow rate of cold coolant in the range from 60 to 120 l/h, the temperature head varied from 32.2 to 63 °C, the heat flow varied from 4.1 to 4.5 kW, the heat transfer coefficient varied in the range of 24.4-27.9 W/(m² · K). The obtained results allowed establishing that the heat transfer coefficient is inversely proportional to the thermal resistance of the vapor-gas phase.
