    Firetube two pass heat exchangers pressure drop

    The evaporator group stayed with Beaird Industries. Did you do much work with them? Do you work with engine heat recovery?

    Heat recovery from engine exhaust while testing

    You can e-mail me the engine details also. sam.shreve@juno.com. I would be interested in seeing what it is you are trying to do. Most of the time you have use the engine jacket water pump if you pressure drop isn't very great and unit is located close to the engine.

    Firetube two pass heat exchangers pressure drop

    I worked with Maxim for six years. I think their pressure drops are to low. By the way, they just moved from Shreveport to Houston. Now they are just Maxim silencers, and not part of Beaird Industries anymore. I currently work for a competitor, so I think talking to them will not be any help.

I don't believe the pressure drop numbers that I get from Maxim's program and I want to test some units in the field with a manometer or if I get...

    Heat recovery from engine exhaust while testing

    Serveral companies make heat exchangers for the purpose you refer about. Typical engine application use the jacket water in series with a heat exchanger to recover heat out of the exhaust gas flow. Basically what you are looking for is called an economizer.
