Best Answer

The duty of a heat exchanger can be defined in an easy way as

"The amount of heat exchanged from a fluid at a higher temperature to the fluid at lower temperature in unit time by a heat exchanger is called its duty"

What is the effect of overall heat transfer coefficient U to heat exchanger performance?

The equation for the duty of a heat exchanger is:Q=U*A*LMTDwhere:Q is the dutyA is the overall heat transfer areaLMTD is the log mean temperature difference.generally when desiging heat exchangers the desired duty is known, as are the desired inlet and outlet temperatures. Therefore we solve for A to find the overall heat transfer area.A= Q/(U*A*LMTD)If we hold Q and the LMTD constant, you can see that a larger overall heat transfer coefficient U, will result in a small exchanger area and, therefore; a smaller, less expensive piece of equipment.The the greater the U, the better the performance.

What is difference between condenser and heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to the others. A condenser is simply a heat exchanger. It compresses refrigerants into a hot gas to then condense them into a liquid. Majorly condenser is used to cool the required vapor and heat exchanger is used to heat the required liquid.
