Spiral Heat Exchanger, Fins, Sand, Plate Type, LMTD.Abstract
Correct selection of heat exchanger is very important factor for industries, Spiral heat exchangers are
known as excellent heat exchanger because of compact structure and high heat transfer efficiency because of less
fouling, easier cleaning and high heat transfer coefficient, Spiral heat exchanger is a good alternative to the other
types of heat exchangers, especially when it’s going to handle high fouling flow or high viscous fluid, Low fouling
rate of heat exchanger, reduce the need of cleaning therefore out of service will be decreased. A new arrangement for
flow of hot and cold fluids is employed for design, hot fluid flows in axial path while the cold fluid flows in a spiral
path. To measure the performance of the spiral tube heat exchanger, its model is suitably designed and fabricated so
as to perform experimental tests, With the help of some modification of plate in spiral heat exchanger, contact surface
area for hot and cold fluid might have change therefore performance of spiral heat exchanger is also change by
comparing with current heat exchanger we can get actual result
