Abstract

Double pipe heat exchanger (DPHE) or concentric tube heat exchanger is one of the most simple and applicable heat exchanger. This kind of heat exchanger is widely used in chemical, food, oil and gas industries. Double pipe heat exchanger having a relatively small diameter and it is easy to fabricate as compare to helical tube, corrugated tube and many more compact type of heat exchanger. During the experiment cold water flow rate is kept constant at 45LPH where as hot water flow rate is varies from 15LPH to75LPH. Three twisted tape inserts of different pitch length (2.5,4.5 and 6.5 inch) are used and inlet and outlet temperature and cold fluid is measured by K type thermocouple to calculate the performance of double pipe heat exchanger in parallel and counter flow arrangement.
