What is heat exchanger duty?

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 differences between cooling tower and heat exchanger?

Cooling towers are also known as an air conditioner's radiator unit. A mist cooling system are fans that have water dripping in front of them in boxed units. These are still used in some parts of the developing world in the absence of air conditioners.


What is Efficiency of shell and tube heat exchanger?

A shell and tube heat exchanger will have two fluids flowing through continuously. The fluid in the tube will typically be the important fluid, the fluid you are trying to heat or cool. The fluid in the shell will then be the fluid that is heating or cooling the the fluid in the tube.Take a steam heat exchanger for example. Steam condenses in shell, while the the fluid in the tube picks up the heat from the steam. And in a perfectly efficient steam heat exchanger, all the heat lost from the steam would be recovered by the liquid in the tube.But nothing is perfect. A little bit of the steam's heat makes the outer shell hot, and that in turn heats the room. Heat is lost from the steam into places other than the fluid in the tube. So efficiency measures how much of the heat lost by the shell fluid makes it into the tube fluid.Efficiency (for heating) = Amount of Heat that went toward heating the fluid divided by the amount of heat that was lost by the heating fluid.So an efficiency of 1 is perfect. For every 1 unit of heat absorbed by the tube fluid, we spent 1 unit of heat from the fluid in the shell fluid.And if the efficiency is 0.9, or 90%, then for every 10 units of heat that the shell fluid lost, the tube fluid gained 9.Sometimes efficiencies are as bad as 40%. In this case for every 10 units of heat lost by the heating fluid, 4 units are gained by the fluid.A slightly different definition of efficiency applies to cooling:Efficiency = Amount of heat lost by the tube fluid divided by the amount of heat gained by the shell fluid.Same story, if the shell fluid gains 5 units of heat, and tube fluid loses 4, then the efficiency is 0.8 or 80%.


What are the chances of a dehumidifier causing a fire?

A working dehumidifier will not cause a fire if it is working and connected properly. They are no more apt to cause a fire than any other electrical appliance. If the unit overheats it will shut off on the internal overload protection. If it draws to much electricity from the outlet, it will trip the circuit breaker. Those items will prevent a fire. A dehumidifier does use a fair amount of current, so the plug will get warm (not hot), to the touch. If the unit is working, stop worrying about it. It will be fine. Lightning causes many more home fires than dehumidifiers.

What are the benefits of using a heat exchanger?

One major benefit of a heat exchanger is that it quickly transfers heat from one medium to another such as an air conditioning unit or a space heater.


Need diagram for replacing heat exchanger for carrier heating and air unit?

yes


How do replace a heat exchanger on a furnace?

Your really are better off replacing the whole unit, there was a reason for the heat exchanger to have cracked or malfunction, ether for age or or a mechanical anomaly , you may have not addressed, as of yet.


What is the average cost of a heat exchanger furnace?

The average cost of a heat exchanger furnace typically ranges from 2,000 to 5,000, depending on the size, brand, and efficiency of the unit. Additional installation costs may apply.


What is the typical cost of a heat exchanger for industrial applications?

The typical cost of a heat exchanger for industrial applications can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the size, material, and complexity of the unit.


We have central heat and air. Does the furnace blower unit power on for the AC system too or is there a separate blower?

There should be only one blower to move the air. The unit will have a coil for cooling and a heat exchanger.

What are the common issues and maintenance tips for a Carrier furnace heat exchanger?

Common issues with a Carrier furnace heat exchanger include cracks, corrosion, and blockages. To maintain it, regularly inspect for signs of damage, clean the unit, and schedule professional inspections annually.


If a heat exchange unit in a Teledyne II ESC heater is leaking can it be replaced or should the entire unit be replaced?

Yes, you can replace the heat exchanger in the unit, but will cost approximately 1/2 of the price of installing a brand new unit. The exchanger should only be replaced if the unit is less than 6-7 years old and in excellent shape, especially the combustion chamber lining. Matt - Flamborough Gas and Oil.


What is the difference between a calorifer and a heat exchanger?

A calorifer is a type of radiator that heats a room by circulating hot water through its pipes. A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from one fluid to another without the fluids mixing, typically used in heating, cooling, or refrigeration systems. The key difference is that calorifers are specifically designed for room heating, while heat exchangers can be used for various heat transfer applications.


How do you put freon in a general electric dehumidifier?

A General Electric dehumidifier uses a sealed unit that does not have any way for you to add Freon to the unit. If you want to add Freon, you have to first install saddle valves to the dehumidifier.
