Hello all,
Thank you for the feedback.
In doing the basic heat exchanger equation, i came up with the following.
Using my original temperature values and having a max runoff water temp of 95F (Also replacing inlet water temp with 85 F max)
Q (Heat Transfer Rate) = 175,000 BTU/Hr
U (Heat...
I appreciate the feedback - i tried using the basic heat exchanger equation but the unknown was obviously the exit water temperature. The shop water does not quite get to 90 F - That was more of a guess of ambient temperature. Ill play with the numbers but i think the missing input to the heat...
Thank you all for the feedback.
Ideally my boss would like to use water for oil cooling.
What additional information is needed to help narrow down some options?
Im looking to purchase a heat exchanger to cool oil in circulating lube oil system.
This will be cooled by the shop water line.
I had initially suggested these types.
