Heat Transfer and Exergy Analysis of a Spiral Heat Exchanger

The heat transfer effectiveness of a countercurrent spiral heat exchanger is expressed as a function of number of transfer units, ratio of flow capacity rates, number of spiral turns, and dimensionless start-point angle of spiral (dimensionless angular angle of the start point of a spiral curve constituting the solid wall of the heat exchanger). The heat transfer effectiveness is weakly dependent on the dimensionless start-point angle of spiral, but moderately increases with the number of spiral turns. As the number of spiral turns is larger than 20, the heat transfer effectiveness of the spiral heat exchanger approaches that of a counterflow heat exchanger. The heat transfer effectiveness of the spiral heat exchanger has a maximum. The optimum number of transfer units at the maximum heat transfer effectiveness increases with the number of spiral turns, whereas it increases with a decrease of the ratio of flow capacity rates. In the second-law analysis, an optimum hot flow-to-cold flow capacity-rate ratio is found. For obtaining a large net recovered exergy rate, the spiral heat exchanger needs to possess a large number of transfer units (greater than 2.0) and operate at a near balanced-flow condition. In addition, a small consumed mechanical power is demanded.     

A new model and solutions for a spiral heat exchanger and its experimental validation

A spiral heat exchanger was applied in a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system that is primarily used for residential indoor heating. Studies that have been performed on the heat transfer of spiral heat exchanger have focused on field measurements and numerical analysis; however, theoretical research on the subject is absent in the literature. In this study, a methodology is proposed to analyze the heat performance of a spiral heat exchanger. A ring source model was established and solved analytically to describe the temperature variation of the ground caused by a spiral heat exchanger. The validity of the model was examined by an experiment on the soil temperature variation with a spiral heater. The virtual ring tube surface temperature response of unit ring circle was calculated by a superposition of the contributions of the ring source itself and adjacent ring sources. Furthermore, a fast algorithm was created to compute the average tube surface temperature resulting from the dimensionless temperature rise at a point far from the ring source that is constant when the non-dimensional distance is less than 0.13. The author confirmed that the calculation time of this proposed algorithm decreased by a factor of 100 compared with the traditional integration method. A system designer will find this algorithm helpful when determining the size of a heat exchanger under a required heating load, particularly for different arrangement of spiral heat exchangers.

Second, the basic characteristics of wedgelet function are studied. Third, the wedgelet finite element model of analyzing heat transfer rules of ground heat exchanger is constructed using wedgelet function as interpolation function. Finally, the heat transfer simulation analysis of vertical U-type ground heat exchanger is carried out, and results show that the wedgelet finite element has higher precision and efficiency, and the effect of main affecting factors on heat transfer rules of ground heat exchanger is obtained.     

Experimental study of a metal hydride vessel based on a finned spiral heat exchanger

The reaction time of hydrogen in metal hydride vessels (MHVs for short) is strongly influenced by the heat transfer from/to the hydride bed. In the present work an experimental study of the geometric and the operating parameters of a finned spiral heat exchanger has been carried out to identify their influence on the performance of the charging process of the MHV. The experimental results show that the charge time of the reactor is considerably reduced, when finned spiral heat exchanger is used. In addition, the effect of different parameters (flow mass and temperature of the cooling fluid, applied pressure, and hydrogen tank volume) has been discussed and obtained results show that a good choice of these parameters is important.

Heat transfer analysis of pile geothermal heat exchangers with spiral coils

This paper investigates the transient heat conduction around the buried spiral coils which could be applied in the ground-coupled heat pump systems with the pile foundation as a geothermal heat exchanger. A transient ring-coil heat source model is developed, and the explicit analytical solutions for the temperature response are derived by means of the Green’s function theory and the image method. The influences of the coil pitch and locations are evaluated and discussed according to the solutions. In addition, comparisons between the ring-coil and cylindrical source models give that the improved finite ring-coil source model can accurately describe the heat transfer process of the pile geothermal heat exchanger (PGHE). The analytical solutions may provide a desirable and better tool for the PGHE simulation/design.

Heat transfer of a horizontal spiral heat exchanger under groundwater advection

Groundwater flows at approximately 1–3 m under the ground surface in a given region. If groundwater flow is present, the performance of a horizontal ground heat exchanger (HGHE), buried in a shallow trench, is enhanced. Nevertheless, owing to the general depth at which groundwater is present, research regarding the heat transfer of a ground heat exchanger (GHE) under conditions with groundwater flow has mainly focused on vertical GHE systems. To the authors’ knowledge, no such studies have addressed HGHEs. From a system design perspective, a prediction tool is needed to consider the groundwater flow, optimize the size of the horizontal heat exchanger, minimize the initial cost and maximize the operational efficiency. Therefore, in this study, a moving ring source model was established and solved analytically to describe the temperature response of a spiral heat exchanger with groundwater flow. In addition, experiments were carried out to study the soil temperature variation during the operation of a spiral heater with different water velocities. The validity of the proposed model was proven by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated results. The average virtual tube surface temperature variations of single ring sources in two different configurations are discussed. Furthermore, the average virtual tube surface temperatures of multiple ring sources extending from single arrangements were computed and approximation algorithms were introduced to reduce the calculation time. The approximation approach has been proven to run thousands of times faster than the initial method, and the calculation results are in 97% agreement with those of the initial method. In summary, this study provides a useful tool for the design of spiral heat exchangers.
