Sizing of Heat Exchanger
1.0 Total capacity of Heat Exchanger in Dormitory
Given:
For the requirement of Dormitory
Each student = 120 Li/day
No. of Students = 36
Recovery Required :
Rr = No. of Students x Hourly usage
Rr = 36 x 120
Rr = 4,320 Li/day
Rr = 4320 / 10 hrs
Rr = 432 Li/Hr say 500 Li/Hr.
For the sizing of the Heat Exchanger
Where:
q = 500 f ∆T
q = Heat load total (W)
500 = constant rounded off from 8.33 x 60 (Btu - Gal/Hr - min - ºF)
∆T = Water temperature difference (ºF)
f = flow rate of water (gpm)
Given:
f = 500 Li/Hr = 2.2 gal/min
Tcws = 50ºF
Twhs = 150ºF
Solution:
q = 2.2 gpm x 500 Btu-gal / Hr - min - ºF x 100ºF
q = 110,000 Btu/Hr
q = 32,230 W
