Description
Summary:The aim of this investigation was to examine the effects of surface finish and of augmented surfaces on the deposition of suspended particles in double pipe heat exchangers. Different surfaces were studied by changing the stainless steel central pipe in the heat exchanger. For each pipe, experiments were carried out over a range of Reynolds numbers and particle concentrations. Results were compared with the results for a plain tube and with results reported elsewhere. Generally, the effect of surface extensions was a reduction of the asymptotic fouling resistance, the extent of the reduction being dependent on the Reynolds number. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Ablagerung von suspendierten Partikeln an niedrigberippte und polierte Heizflächen beschrieben. Die Untersuchungen wurden in einem Doppelrohrwärmeübertrager durchgeführt. Der Einfluβ der Heizflächenstruktur auf die Ablagerungsbildung wurde für sieben verschiedene Heizflächen bei Reynoldszahlen zwischen 6000 und 15 000 untersucht. Die gemessenen Foulingwiderstände wurden mit Werten für eine unbearbeitete Heizfläche sowie mit den Voraussagen eines bekannten Ablagerungsmodelles verglichen.
