Abstract

A comprehensive and detailed test had been performed for three-dimensional tube exchange components and traditional H-type fin tube through a prototype to investigated their heat transfer characterization. The results showed that the total heat transfer coefficient of the three-dimensional tube heat exchanger is 2 to 3 times that of the H-type fin tube heat exchanger, and the resistance of the heat exchanger in staggered arrangement was bigger than that of in-line arrangement. Besides, the modified correlation of gas side convective heat transfer was more realistic, and the calculated result is about 26% higher than that of the original correlation. FLUENT software can simulate the actual situation of three-dimensional tube heat exchanger, and the simulation results error is relatively small.
