Description

What is unique about helical heat exchangers is that the helical coil shape improves heat transfer and reduces fouling, making them perfect for high-viscosity or clogging applications. Unlike standard heat exchangers, the helical shape provides a larger surface area in less space, enabling thermal exchange in tight places. The form also creates a whirling flow pattern that enhances heat transfer and decreases pressure loss, improving its operating benefits. All of these unique features have led us toward simulating a helical heat exchanger via ANSYS Fluent.

Simulation Process

Prior to taking any step, we need to know that providing proper slices in the geometry will pave the way for generating a structured grid. The sections are depicted in the figure. Regarding the generation of hexagonal elements, 1302912 cells are produced using ANSYS meshing software. The copper wall between two tubes plays the role of an efficient conductor. Cold and hot water flows in opposite directions at 290K and 355K, respectively. A crucial parameter in the assessment of heat exchangers is Mean Temperature Difference which should be calculated via an expression.

Simulation Process

Post-processing

The modeling of the helical heat exchanger provided valuable insights into its thermal performance. With a mean temperature difference of 49.63K, the system efficiently transferred heat between the fluids. The helical shape not only increased surface area for heat exchange, but also improved fluid dynamics, resulting in higher thermal transfer rates. It is proved by velocity monitoring at the entrance and exit surfaces. The velocity shows 3.19m/s at the inlet and 3.25m/s at the outlet. This is just for the cold tube, let alone the effect of the helical shape on the hot tube.

FAQ

We pride ourselves on presenting unique products at CFDLAND. We stand out for our scientific rigor and validity. Our products are not based on guesswork or theoretical assumptions like many others. Instead, most of our products are validated using experimental or numerical data from valued scientific journals. Even if direct validation isn’t possible, we build our models and assumptions on the latest research, typically using reference articles to approximate reality.
