Abstract
"> Waste heat recovery is very important, because it not only reduces the expenditure ofheat generation, but also it is of high priority in environmental consideration, such asreduction in greenhouse gases. One of the devices used in waste heat recovery is heatpipe heat exchanger. An experimental and theoretical research is carried out toinvestigate heat performance of an air to water thermosyphon heat pipe heat exchangeraccording to ε-NTU method. The experiments were done according to the followingprocedure: cold water with 0.1kg/s flows through the condensation section and hot airin a closed cycle is blown into the evaporation section. A blower with varying frequencyof current turns in the mass flow rate between 0.14-0.6 kg/s and a temperature range of125-225°C. The results of the experiments show that as the ratio of C Ch c rises, therate of heat transfer goes up. The efficiency of the heat pipe heat exchanger remainsconstant as the temperature of the hot stream goes up, but the amount of heattransferred increases.
