Abstract
The development of a numerical model and design for the innovative construction of a heat exchanger (HE) used in a condensation hood (being a part of the combi-steamer) are described in this work. The model covers an air-steam flow, heat transfer, and a steam condensation process. The last two processes were implemented with the use of an in-house model introduced via User Defined Functions (UDF). As the condensate volume is negligible compared to the steam, the proposed model removes the condensate from the domain. This approach enabled the usage of a single-phase flow for both air and steam using a species transport model. As a consequence, a significant mesh and computation time reduction were achieved. The new heat exchanger is characterised by reorganised fluid flow and by externally finned pipes (contrary to the original construction, where internally finned pipes were used). This allowed a reduction in the number of the pipes from 48 to 5, which significantly simplifies construction and manufacturing process of the HE. The redesigned HE was tested in two cases: one simulating normal working conditions with a combi-steamer, the other with extremely high heat load. Measurement data showed that the numerical model predicted condensate mass flow rate (3.67 g/s computed and 3.56 g/s measured) and that the condensation capability increased at least by 15% when compared to the original HE design.
