Full Description

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.
 
Energy efficiency of refrigerating and air-conditioning systems has gained substantial attention over the past decades. This seminar discusses some of the contributions of heat exchanger technology in the continuous improvement of HVAC&R equipment heat transfer efficiency. This session reviews the impacts of historical advancements and recent innovations in tube enhancements for shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Next, the results of a study comparing calculated tube performance using the conventional LMTD method and a recommended new approach-the axial resistance-varying method are presented. Finally, the mechanism and efficiency gain of ammonia boiling in a vertical tube bundle is discussed.
