Most of the energy needed by the world is still been provided by fossil fuels. Energy costs are increasing day by day due to pandemics, wars, natural disasters, etc. Therefore, the need for energy-efficient systems is increasing. This study recovered the waste heat of a natural gas-fired boiler with a flue gas condenser. First, the condenser heat transfer surface area was determined by analytical calculations. Then, the final design was obtained by CFD analysis to make homogeneous fluid distribution on the shell and tube sides. Finally, performance tests were carried out on the condenser. According to the test results, the analytical calculations were confirmed by 94%. In addition, in the final design, the homogeneity of the flow on the shell side has been proven by the thermal camera images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
