Introduction
Gas liquefaction system :Very crucial part as it is used to liquefy
various gases like N2 , O2 ,He, etc.., Various types of it like lindehampson, preooled linde-hampson, linde dual pressure, cascade,
Claude, kapitza, heylandt etc., Components of any liquefaction
systems are compressor, Heat exchanger, expander device etc.
Heat Exchanger: It is a heart-as it exchanging the heat between two
fluids, Basically there are two types of Heat exchangerRECUPETORS and REGENERATORS.
TUBE FIN HET EXCHANGER: It consists- Tube of Different shape
like Rectangular, Round, Elliptical , Fins are generally used on the
outside, but they may be used on the inside of the tubes in some
applications.
Application: Cooler/Heater, Liquefier, Vaporiser, Isothermal reactor
Design Methodology
Problem Formulation
The coil finned tube Heat exchanger is the first type of
medium capacity heat exchanger. In this dissertation the
fabrication and experimental analysis of this heat
exchanger will be carried out for helium liquefaction plant
Literature Survey
Design side:
Croft and Tebby : In 1970 croft and tebby presented
the expression for thermal design and they have
suggested the correlations for calculation of heat
transfer coefficient for shell and tube side flow.
Although this paper did not throw light on any pressure
drop relation
Croft and Cosier: In the same year croft and cosier
were designed a new form of finned tube heat
exchanger by the method described by croft tebby.
M.D. Atrey : In 1998 M.D. Atrey did the thermodynamic
analysis of Collins helium liquefaction cycle. In his
analysis he were used the two reciprocating expander
with Collins helium liquefier.
Prabhat Kumar Gupta: In 2007 Prabhat kumar gupta,
P.k. Kush, Ashesh Tiwari presented the design and
optimization of coil finned tube heat exchanger for
cryogenics application. In their study, geometry of heat
exchanger has been derived taking into consideration
the clearance provided for manufacturing of the heat
exchangers
and
an
optimized
geometrical
configurations have been find out.
Prabhat kumar Guptas second law analysis: The
special focus of his analysis is the study of effect of
these irreversibilities on the performance of heat
exchangers through second law analysis. It is
observed that the effect of ambient heat-in-leak is
different for the balanced and imbalanced counter flow
high NTU heat exchangers.
Experimental Side:
Collins : The coil finned tube heat exchangers were
first used by Collins in his helium liquefier in 1947.A
unique extended surface heat exchanger design
involving flow in concentric tubes.
Giest and Lashmet: In 1960 giest and lashmet were
used these heat exchanger in their experiment of
miniature joule Thomson refrigeration system.
Prabhat kumar Guptas Experimental research on
overall heat transfer coefficient : The experiments were
conducted in the range of effective Reynolds number
5001900. The effect of diametrical clearance on the
prediction of overall heat transfer coefficient is also
investigated experimentally.
Prabhat kumar Guptas Experiments on Pressure
drop : All experiments were performed at room
temperature in the Reynolds number range of 3000
30,000 for tube side and 25155 for shell side. To
evaluate pressure drop within heat exchangers at room
temperature, a separate test set-up was planned.
