CONSTRUCTION OF A SERPENTINE-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER AND ANALYSIS OF THERMAL EFFICIENCY

Abstract

The objective of the article was to create a serpentine heat exchanger to reduce the temperature of the air using cold water. The system consisted of a cooper coil that received cooled water and performed the exchange of heat with the air in a room with a high degree of insulation. In thermal analysis, the overall heat transfer coefficient will be determined. It is expected to demonstrate that the heat transfer coefficient of the gases has a low value when compared to liquids. An alternative to increase the performance of the chalk changer would be to use finned coils, since they increase the area of heat exchange significantly
