In exchangers heat transfer occurs by a combination of 2 or 3 of these heat transfer
mechanisms.
When the rate of heat transfer remains constant and is unaffected by time, then the flow of
heat is steady state.
An unsteady state exists when the rate of heat transfer at any point varies with time. Most
industrial processes in which heat transfer is involved are assumed to operate under steady
state conditions even though in some cases unsteady state, conditions are observed e.g.

6.5 Condensation:
The process of heat transfer accompanied by a phase change from vapor to liquid at constant
pressure is called condensation.· Since vapor liquid heat transfer usually occurs at constant
pressure, the condensation of a single compound normally occurs isothermally.· If a mixture
When a saturated pure vapor comes in contact with a cold surface such as tubes, it condenses
and may form liquid droplets on the surface of tube, such a type is drop wise condensation.
When a distinct film of condensed vapors appears & coats the tube and additional vapor is
required to condense onto the liquid film, then it is film wise
The drainage of the condensate film from the surface is by laminar flow only and the heat is
transferred through the film by conduction.
The thickness of the film at any point is a function of the mean velocity of flow and of the
amount of condensate passing at that point.
The velocity of the individual layers of the film is a function of the relation between
frictional shearing force and weight of the film.
6.9 Introduction:
A condenser is a two-phase flow heat exchanger in which heat is generated from the
conversion of vapor into liquid (condensation) and the heat generated is removed from the
system by a coolant. Condensers may be classified into two main types: those in which the
coolant and condensate stream are separated by a solid surface, usually a tube wall, and those
in which the coolant and condensing vapor are brought into direct contact.
The direct contact type of condenser may consist of a vapor which is bubbled into a pool of
liquid, a liquid which is sprayed into a vapor, or a packed-column in which the liquid flows
downwards as a film over a packing material against the upward flow of vapor. Condensers
in which the streams are separated may be subdivided into three main types: air-cooled,
shell-and-tube, and plate. In the air-cooled type, condensation occurs inside tubes with
cooling provided by air blown or sucked across the tubes. Fins with large surface areas are
usually provided on the air side to compensate for the low air-side heat transfer coefficients.
In shell-and-tube condensers, the condensation may occur inside or outside the tubes. The
orientation of the unit may be vertical or horizontal. In the refrigeration and air-conditioning
industry, various types of two-phase flow heat exchangers are used. They are classified
according to whether they are coils or shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Evaporator and
condenser coils are used when the second fluid is air because of the low heat transfer
coefficient on the air side.
1) Horizontal with condensation is shell side and cooling medium in the tubes.
2) Horizontal with condensation in tube side cooling medium in shell side.
3) Vertical with condensation in the shell.
4) Vertical with condensation in the tubes.
Horizontal shell side and vertical tube side are the most commonly used types of condensers.
In this process we have used the normal mechanism for heat transfer in commercial
condenser which film wise condensation. Since vapor-liquid heat transfer changes usually
occur at constant or really constant pressure in industry, the vaporization or condensation of a
single compared normally occurs isothermally. A mixture of vapors instead of a pure vapor is
condensed at constant pressure; the change does not take place isothermally in most
instances.
Forced and
The obvious advantage of an ACHE is that it does not require water, which means that plants
requiring large cooling capacities need not be located near a supply of cooling water.
6.13 Components:
Unless it is natural draft, a driver and power transmission to mechanically rotate the
fan or blower.
A support structure high enough to allow air to enter beneath the ACHE at a
reasonable rate.
Optional variable pitch fan hub for temperature control and power savings.
A tube bundle is an assembly of tubes, headers, side frames, and tube supports as shown in
figure below. Usually the tube surface exposed to the passage of air has extended surface in
the form of fins to compensate for the low heat transfer rate of air at atmospheric pressure
and at a low enough velocity for reasonable fan power consumption.
Typical construction of tube bundles with plug and cover plate headers
The prime tube is usually round and of any metal suitable for the process, due consideration
being given to corrosion, pressure, and temperature limitations. Fins are helical or plate type,
and are usually of aluminum for reasons of good thermal conductivity and economy of
fabrication. Steel fins are used for very high temperature applications.
An extrusion process in which the fins are extruded from the wall of an aluminum
tube that is integrally bonded to the base tube for the full length.
Sometimes serrations are cut in the fins. This causes an interruption of the air boundary layer,
which increases turbulence which in turn increases the airside heat transfer coefficient with a
modest increase in the air-side pressure drop and the fan horsepower.
The choice of fin types is critical. This choice is influenced by cost, operating temperatures,
and the atmospheric conditions. Each type has different heat transfer and pressure drop
characteristics. The extruded finned tube affords the best protection of the liner tube from
atmospheric corrosion as well as consistent heat transfer from the initial installation and
throughout the life of the cooler. This is the preferred tube for operating temperatures up to
600°F. The embedded fin also affords a continued predictable heat transfer and should be
used for all coolers operating above 600°F and below 750°F. The wrap-on footed fin tube
can be used below 250°F; however, the bond between the fin and the tube will loosen in time
and the heat transfer is not predictable with certainty over the life of the cooler. It is advisable
to derate the effectiveness of the wrap-on tube to allow for this probability.
There are many configurations of finned tubes, but manufacturers find it economically
practical to limit production to a few standard designs. Tubes are manufactured in lengths
from 6 to 60 feet and in diameters ranging from 5/8 inch to 6 inches, the most common being
I inch. Fins are commonly helical, 7 to 11 fins per inch, 5/16 to I inch high, and 0.010 to
0.035 inch thick. The ratio of extended to prime surface varies from 7:1 to 25:1. Bundles are
rectangular and typically consist of 2 to 10 rows of finned tubes arranged on triangular pitch.
Bundles may be stacked in depths of up to 30 rows to suit unusual services. The tube pitch is
usually between 2 and 2.5 tube diameters. Net free area for air flow through bundles is about
50% of face area. Tubes are rolled or welded into the tube sheets of a pair of box headers.
called the plug sheet. Bolted removable cover plates are used for improved access to headers
in severe fouling services. Partitions are welded in the headers to establish the tube-side flow
pattern, which generates suitable velocities in as near countercurrent flow as possible for
maximum mean temperature difference. Partitions and stiffeners (partitions with flow
openings) also act as structural stays. Horizontally split headers may be required to
accommodate differential tube expansion in services having high fluid temperature
differences per pass. The figure below illustrates common head types.
Bundles are usually arranged horizontally with the air entering below and discharging
vertically. Occasionally bundles are arranged vertically with the air passing across
horizontally, such as in a natural draft tower where the bundles are arranged vertically at the
periphery of the tower base. Bundles can also be arranged in an "A" or "V" configuration, the
principal advantage of this being a saving of plot area. The disadvantages are higher
horsepower requirements for a given capacity and decreased performance when winds on
exposed sides inhibit air flow.
Within practical limits, the longer the tubes and the greater the number of rows, the less the
heat transfer surface costs per square foot. One or more bundles of the same or differing
service may be combined in one unit (bay) with one set of fans. All bundles combined in a
single unit will have the same air-side static pressure loss. Consequently, combined bundles
having different numbers of rows must be designed for different face velocities.
The figure below displays the air moving device for an ACHE which is commonly an axial
flow, propeller type fan that either forces the air across the bundles (forced draft) or pulls it
across (induced draft). To provide redundancy in case a mechanical unit falls and to provide
the basic control achievable by running one fan or two, a bundle or set of bundles is usually
provided with two fans.
Even distribution of the air across the tube bundle is critical for predictable, uniform heat
transfer. This is achieved by adequate fan coverage and static pressure loss across the bundle.
Good practice is to keep the fan projected area to a minimum of 40% of the projected face
area of the tube bundle and the bundle static pressure loss at least 3.5 times the velocity
pressure loss through the fan ring. For a two fan unit this is generally assured if the ratio of
tube length to bundle width is in the range of 3 to 3.5 and the number of tube rows is held to
4 rows minimum with the net free area for air flow at about 50% of the face area of the
bundle.
Fans can vary in size from 3 to 60 feet in diameter, and can have from 2 to 20 blades. Blades
can be made of wood, steel, aluminum, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic, and can be solid or
hollow. Hollow plastic blades are by far the most popular. Blades can have straight sides or
be contoured. The more efficient type has a wide chord near the center and tapers to a narrow
chord at the tip, with a slight twist. The twist and taper compensate for the slower velocity of
the blade nearer the center to produce a uniform, efficient air velocity profile.
Fans may have fixed or adjustable pitch blades. Except for small diameters (less than 5 feet)
most ACHEs have adjustable pitch blades. Adjustable pitch fans are manufactured in two
types. One is manually adjustable (with the fans off) and the other is automatically adjustable
(while running). Most automatically adjustable pitch fans change their pitch by means of a
pneumatically actuated diaphragm working against large springs inside the hub.
6.13.4 Plenum:
The air plenum is an enclosure that provides for the smooth flow of air between the fan and
bundle. Plenums can be box type or slope sided type. The slope sided type gives the best
Distribution of air over the bundles, but is almost exclusively used with induced draft
because hanging a machinery mount from a slope sided forced draft plenum presents
structural difficulties.
The structure consists of the columns, braces, and cross beams that support the exchanger at
a sufficient elevation above grade to allow the necessary volume of air to enter below at an
approach velocity low enough to allow unimpeded fan performance and to prevent unwanted
recirculation of hot air. To conserve ground space in oil refineries and chemical plants,
ACHEs are usually mounted above, and supported by, pipe racks, with other equipment
occupying the space underneath the pipe rack. ACHE structures are designed for appropriate
wind, snow, seismic, piping, dead, and live loads.
Advantages
Advantages
Possibly lower horsepower requirements if the effluent air is very hot. (Horsepower varies
inversely with the absolute temperature.)
Better accessibility of fans and upper bearings for maintenance.
Better accessibility of bundles for replacement.
Accommodates higher process inlet temperatures.
Disadvantages
Because the number of tube rows, the face area, the air face velocity, and the geometry of the
surface can all be varied, it is possible to generate many solutions to a given thermal
problem. However, there is obviously an optimum solution in terms of capital and operating
costs.
The basic heat transfer relationships that apply to shell and tube exchangers also apply to
ACHEs.
Where F is a factor that corrects the log mean temperature difference for any deviation from
true counter-current flow. In ACHEs the air flows substantially unmixed upward across the
bundles and the process fluid can flow back and forth and downward as directed by the pass
arrangement. With four or more downward passes, the flow is considered counter-current and
so the factor "F" is 1.0.
As is apparent, initially neither the area nor the overall heat transfer rate nor the effluent air
temperatures are known. The traditional approach in the design of ACHEs entailed an
iterative trial and error procedure both on the CMTD and the transfer rate until the area
satisfied both. Specifically, an air rise was assumed, the CMTD was calculated, an overall
heat transfer coefficient was assumed, and an exchanger size was selected with the expected
necessary area. An appropriate face velocity was then used to calculate an effluent air
temperature, and the process was repeated until the assumed effluent air temperature matched
the calculated value. The individual coefficients and the overall coefficient were then
calculated, and the whole process was repeated until the calculated "U" and CMTD were
sufficiently close to the assumed values.
However, there is another method that eliminates trial and error on the CMTD, and leaves
only the trial and error on the tube-side film coefficient. The following discussion presents
the Ntu Method described by Kays and London in Compact Heat Exchangers, as applied to
ACHEs.

The fan diameter must be 6 inches less than the bundle width. Fan performance curves are
used to select the optimum number of blades and pitch angle as well as the horsepower.
To calculate the required horsepower for the fan driver:
Motor Shaft Horsepower = Actual ft3/min (at fan) - Total Pressure Loss (inches water)
6356 - Fan (System) Efficiency - Speed Reducer Efficiency
The actual volume at the fan is calculated by multiplying the standard volume of air (scfm)
by the density of standard air (0.075 lb/ft) divided by the density of air at the fan. From this
relationship it can be seen that the ratio of the fan horsepower required for a forced draft unit
to that required for an induced draft unit is approximately equal to the ratio of the exit air
density to the inlet air density, which is in turn equal to the ratio of absolute air temperatures
(t1 + 460) / t2 + 460). The total pressure difference across the fan is equal to the sum of the
velocity pressure for the selected fan diameter, the static pressure loss through the bundle,
(which is deten-nined from the equipment manufacturer's test data for a given fin type and
tube spacing), and other losses in the aerodynamic system. Fan diameters are selected to give
good air distribution and usually result in velocity pressures of approximately 0.1 inch of
water.
The design of the fan, the air plenum chamber, and the fan housing, (in particular fan tip
clearance), can materially affect system efficiency, which is always lower than shown on fan
curves based on idealized wind tunnel tests. Industrial axial flow fans in properly designed
ACHEs have fan (system) efficiencies of approximately 75%, based on total pressure. Poorly
designed ACHEs may have system efficiencies as low as 40%. Speed reducers usually have
about 95% mechanical efficiency. The value of driver output horsepower from the equation
above must be divided by the motor efficiency to determine input power.
For estimating purposes refer to the figure below to approximate the horsepower
requirement. This chart plots bare tube surface divided by horsepower versus tube bundle
depth for the normal range of velocities. Applying the above criteria to our sample problem,
we detennine that we must use two 10-foot diameter fans to have 40% of the bundle face
area. We find that for a 6-row bundle, the area/horsepower is between 68 and 92 square feet
of bare tube surface. If we use an average value of 80, the horsepower requirement for each
fan is (336 ·.2618 · 32) (2 · 80) = 17.5 horsepower at maximum design ambient temperature.
Power consumption must be calculated for the coldest expected ambient temperature, since at
a fixed fan blade angle, fan horsepower consumption is inversely proportional to the absolute
temperature. The power required for this minimum ambient temperature will set the required
motor size.
In addition to the fact that the process flow rate, composition, and inlet temperature of the
fluid may vary from the design conditions, the ambient air temperature varies throughout a
24-hour day and from day to day. Since air coolers are designed for maximum conditions,
some form of control is necessary when overcooling of the process fluid is detrimental, or
when saving fan power is desired. Although control could be accomplished using by-passing
of process fluid, this is rarely done, and the usual method is air flow control.
Louvers operate by creating an adjustable restriction to air flow and therefore do not save
energy when air flow is reduced. In fact, louvers impose a permanent energy loss, even in the
open position.
Two-speed motors, AUTO-VARIABLE fans, and variable frequency fan motor control do
save power when air flow is reduced. In temperate climates, as much as 67% of the design
power may be saved over the course of a year with AUTO-VARIABLE pitch fans. AUTO-
VARIABLE hubs will thus pay back their additional cost in about one year or less.
By using one fixed-pitch fan blowing upward and one AUTO-VARIABLE pitch fan, which
is capable of negative pitch and thus of blowing the air downward, it is possible to temper the
air to the coldest portion of the tubes and thus prevent freezing. Normally forced draft units
have the negative pitch fan at the outlet end, while induced draft units have the positive pitch
fan at the outlet end. In hot weather both fans can blow upward.
This is a more positive way of tempering coolant air, but is practical only with forced draft
units. Hot exhaust air exits the bundle, and enters a top plenum covered by a louver. When no
recirculation is required, the top louver is wide open, and the heated air exits through it.
When the top louver is partially closed, some of the hot air is diverted to a duct, through
which it flows downward and back into the fan intake, mixing with some cold ambient air.
An averaging air temperature sensor below the bundle controls the amount of recirculated air,
and thus the average air intake temperature, by varying the louver opening.
Heating coils are placed directly under bundles. Closing a louver on top of a bundle will
allow the heating coil to warm the bundle or keep it warm in freezing weather, so that on
start-up or shut-down the material in the bundle will not freeze or solidify. Heating coils are
In recent years concerns about industrial noise have grown. Since ACHEs were not originally
one of the serious sources, it has only been after the abatement of the more serious
contributors that attention has focused on ACHEs.
ACHE noise is mostly generated by fan blade vortex shedding and air turbulence. Other
contributors are the speed reducer (high torque drives or gears) and the motor. The noise is
generally broad band, except for occasional narrow band noise produced by the motor or
speed reducer, or by interaction between these sources and the ACHE structure.
The evidence is that for efficient fans at moderate fan tip speeds, this noise is proportional to
the third power of the fan blade tip speed, and to the first power of the consumed fan
horsepower. It is at present quite practical and usually economical to reduce the sound
pressure level at 3 feet below an ACHE to 85 dB(A), but below 80 dB(A), noise from the
drives predominates and special measures must be taken.
The biggest problem with laminar flow in tubes is that the flow in inherently unstable. The
reasons for this can be demonstrated by a comparison of pressure drop and heat transfer
coefficient for turbulent versus laminar flow, as functions of viscosity (m) and mass velocity
Heat Transfer
Flow Type Delta P Function
Turbulent 0.2, G1.8 -0.47, G0.8
Laminar 1.0, G1.0 0.0, G0.33
With turbulent flow, pressure drop is such a weak function of viscosity (0.2 power) and such
a strong function of mass velocity (1.8 power), that the flow in the colder tubes must
decrease only slightly in order for the pressure drop to be the same as that in the hotter tubes.
Also, as the flow slows and the viscosity increases, the heat transfer coefficient drops
significantly, (-0.47 power of viscosity, 0.8 power of G), so the over-cooling is self-
correcting.
With laminar flow, pressure drop is a much stronger function of viscosity (1.0 power) and a
much weaker function of mass velocity (1.0 power), so the flow in the colder tubes must
decrease much more to compensate for the higher viscosity. Viscosity of heavy hydrocarbons
is usually a very strong function of temperature, but with laminar flow, the heat transfer
coefficient is independent of viscosity, and only a weak function of mass velocity (0.33
power), so the self correction of turbulent flow is absent.
The result is that many of the tubes become virtually plugged, and a few tubes carry most of
the flow. Stability is ultimately achieved in the high flow tubes as a result of high mass
velocity and increased turbulence, but because so many tubes carry little flow and contribute
little cooling, a concurrent result is high pressure drop and low performance. The point at
which stability is reached depends on the steepness of the viscosity versus temperature curve.
Fluids with high pour points may completely plug most of an exchanger.
This problem can sometimes be avoided by designing deep bundles to improve air flow
distribution. Bundles should have no more than one row per pass, and should preferably have
at least two passes per row, so that the fluid will be mixed between passes.
When a fluid has both a high viscosity and a high pour point, long cooling ranges should be
separated into stages. The first exchanger should be designed for turbulent flow, with the
outlet temperature high enough to ensure an outlet Reynolds number above 2,000 even with
reduced flow. The lower cooling range can be accomplished in a serpentine coil (a coil
consisting of tubes or pipes connected by 180' return bends, with a single tube per pass). The
low temperature serpentine coil should, of course, be protected from freezing by external
warm air recirculation ducts.
Closed loop tempered water systems are often more economical, and are just as effective as a
serpentine coil. A shell and tube heat exchanger cools the viscous liquid over its low
temperature range on the shell side. Inhibited water is re-circulated between the tube side of
the shell and tube and an ACHE, where the heat is exhausted to the atmosphere.
For viscous fluids which are reasonably clean, such as lube oil, it is possible to increase the
tube side coefficient between four- and tenfold, with no increase in pressure drop, by
inserting turbulence promoters, and designing for a lower velocity. It is then advantageous to
use external fins to increase the airside coefficient also. In addition to the increase in heat
transfer coefficient, turbulence promoters have the great advantage that the pressure drop is
proportional to the 1.3 power of mass velocity, and only to the 0.5 power of viscosity, so that

non-isothermal flows are much more stable. The simplest and probably the most cost-
effective promoters are the swirl strips, a flat strip twisted into a helix.
Design Calculations
Since we are also dealing with recovery of LPG so Direct contact condensers cannot be used
because direct addition of coolant will hinder the separation of LPG.
Only choice is the use of shell & tube and air cooled condenser. We are using fan condenser
because of its less maintenance & Operating cost then shell & tube condenser due to
elimination of water fouling characteristics which require frequent cleaning
of water cooled heat exchanger and also due to quality of heat.
Less possibility of hot effluent air recirculating into the intake. The hot air is discharged
upward at approximately 2.5 times the intake velocity, or about 1,500 feet per minute.
Better process control and stability because the plenum covers 60% of the bundle face
area, reducing the effects of sun, rain, and hall.
Increased capacity in the fan-off or fan failure condition, since the natural draft stack
effect is much greater.
