Heat Transfer Coefficient For Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers


Basic heat transfer relationships is apply to Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger (ACHE) . The fundamental heat transfer equation :

Q = U. A. LMTD.F
where
U = overall heat transfer coefficient
A = Heat transfer area
LMTD = Log mean temperature difference
F = Correction factor

  1. Hi,

    The Air-cooled heat exchanger is a device for rejecting heat from a fluid or gas directly to ambient air. When cooling both fluids and gases, there are two sources readily available, with a relatively low cost, to transfer heat to air and water. Thanks a lot...
