Variable list

Variables

Variable 3 - Volume flow of inside medium at mean temperature of the medium (ϑei + ϑai)/2 and pressure Pi

For condensation, this is the volume flow at the heat exchanger inlet. If there is a fraction of the vapor already condensed (vapor fraction xi < 1) at the inlet, the volume flow of the vapor-liquid mixture is shown, assuming a homogeneous distribution of liquid and vapor.

Variable 4 - Volume flow of outside medium at mean temperature of the medium (ϑea + ϑaa)/2 and Pressure Pa

For condensation, this is the volume flow at the heat exchanger inlet. If there is a fraction of the vapor already condensed (vapor fraction xi < 1) at the inlet, the volume flow of the vapor-liquid mixture is shown, assuming a homogeneous distribution of liquid and vapor.

Variable 13 - Heat duty (inside)

The heat duty is signed. When heating the medium it is positive, when cooling the medium or at condensation it is negative.

Variable 14 - Heat duty (outside)

The heat duty is signed. When heating the medium it is positive, when cooling the medium or at condensation it is negative.

Variable 15 - Heat loss

Heat loss of heat exchanger to the surroundings

The heat loss is signed:

( - ) Heat emission from shell to surroundings

( + ) Heat absorption from surroundings

Variable 18 - Thermal conductivity of tube material λ

Thermal conductivity l in W/(m·K) depending on temperature

Density r [103 kg/m³] at 20°C

No.

Variable 20 - Fouling resistance f

Description:

Details: Total fouling resistance (shell-side fa and tube-side fi)

                   f = fa+ fi ·(Aa/Ai)

s. Typical fouling resistances

Variable 21 - Required exchanger area

Theoretical heat exchanger area which is necessary to transfer the heat duty

Variable 22 - Logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD)

Logarithmic mean temperature difference for true counter current flow

Variable 29 - Mean calculation temperature (inside)

Mean temperature of tube-side medium (Inlet temperature + outlet temperature) / 2

Variable 30 - Mean calculation temperature (outside)

Mean temperature of shell-side medium (Inlet temperature + outlet temperature) / 2

Variable 35 - Vapor fraction at inlet (inside)

For condensation only: Vapor fraction = 1 for pure vapor at inlet.

It is possible to enter values lesser than 1. For example vapor fraction = 0.6 means that 60 wt-% of the medium are in the vapor state and 40 wt-% are already liquid at inlet.

Variable 36 - Vapor fraction at inlet (outside)

For condensation only: Vapor fraction = 1 for pure vapor at inlet.

It is possible to enter values lesser than 1. For example vapor fraction = 0.6 means that 60 wt-% of the medium are in the vapor state and 40 wt-% are already liquid at inlet.

For shell-side condensation no pressure drop is calculated!

Variable 72 - Inside diameter of inlet nozzle inside

If a nozzle has been selected by nominal width DN, the inside diameter is automatically determined by the class taken from the flange standards. The class is determined by the inlet pressure.

Variable 73 - Inside diameter of outlet nozzle outside

If a nozzle has been selected by nominal width DN, the inside diameter is automatically determined by the class taken from the flange standards. The class is determined by the inlet pressure.

Variable 80 - FN Factor

Correction factor for logarithmic mean temperature difference LMTD. It considers the deviation of the real heat exchanger from the ideal mere counter-current or co-current heat exchanger (Variable 22 - Logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD))

s. Typical fouling resistances

Variable 92 – Fouling resistance inside

s. Typical fouling resistances

Variable 94 - Medium velocity shell-side

Flow velocity of medium in narrowest cross-section.

For condensation this is the maximum velocity of the vapor. When calculating the maximum velocity it is taken into account that the medium might be two-phase (Vapor fraction in xi < 1).

Variable 133 - Actual inlet temperature of medium inside

If the heat exchanger is over-designed or under-designed, this is the real inlet temperature of the tube-side medium.

For condensation this temperature is not calculated.

Variable 134 - Actual inlet temperature of medium outside

If the heat exchanger is over-designed or under-designed, this is the real inlet temperature of the shell-side medium.

For condensation this temperature is not calculated.

For liquids: No input possible

Variable 142 - Vapor fraction at outlet (inside)

For condensation only:

The vapor fraction equals 0 if the steam is totally condensed. It is possible to enter values greater than 0. For example: Vapor fraction = 0.2, means that 20% of the mass flow is still in the vapor state at the outlet.

Variable 143 - Vapor fraction at outlet (outside)

For condensation only:

The vapor fraction equals 0 if the steam is totally condensed. It is possible to enter values greater than 0. For example: Vapor fraction = 0.2, means that 20% of the mass flow is still in the vapor state at the outlet.

Variable 148 – Number of tubes in the coil

s. Coil pitch, distance of windings and coil length

Variable 149 - Distance of windings

s. Coil pitch, distance of windings and coil length

Variable 150 - Overdesign

The overdesign is the ratio of final heat transfer area and required heat transfer area in %.

Variable 163 - Real outlet temperature inside

If the heat exchanger is over-designed or under-designed, this is the real outlet temperature of the tube side medium.

For condensation this temperature is not calculated.

Variable 164 - Real outlet temperature outside

If the heat exchanger is over-designed or under-designed, this is the real outlet temperature of the shell side medium.

For condensation this temperature is not calculated.
