MintJulep,
You're correct, the air side will have to be placed in series, my boss is not giving me the option to build a new structure to mount the second HE. Any yes, the airflow will go way down, which is a significant oversight but I have no choice. As far as water side, will I gain anything...
The existing unit cools the sewer discharge water coming from various systems of a power plant. Initially, the cooler was adequate, but over time, modifications to the plant have caused an increase in discharge water this cooler sees, in turn, causing the discharge temp to increase to levels...
I've made an attempt to get a hold of him with no luck. I will continue trying. I don't even want to begin bad mouthing this guy... Thanks for the help guys
No, honestly I'm not. I need to perform a heat balance to determine if stacking these two is the right decision, otherwise like you said, the second heat exchanger could end up a huge paper weight. Obviously the air reaching the second heat exchanger will be at a greater temperature than...
OK, I understand that to maintain the flow arrangements of air over the new heat exchanger, ducts will be required to direct flow up and through the new unit. ishvaaag, Can you elaborate on the table on table scheme you speak of? I am looking for specifics on how to tie into the existing structure.
Hey fellas,
I'm new on the job and my first assignment is to finish up a half completed project. The guy I replaced ordered a heat exchanger to install on an existing cooling system in order increase cooling capacity. Now I have to figure out how he planned on installing it. See pictures below...
