An investigation of heat exchange during condensation of ammonia inside a pipe at low heat flow densities.

Summary

Heat transfer during condensation of superheated ammonia vapours in air-cooled condensers was studied experimentally. Tests were done for heat-flow densities (relative to the outer surface of the tube) varying from 25 to 750 watts/m2, ammonia mass velocities from 0.68 to 17.8 kg/m2.s, condensing pressures of 0.8 to 1.6 megapascals and tube length-diameter ratios of 75, 103 and 254. It was shown that the coefficient of heat transfer during ammonia condensation was 12 to 14% higher than that obtained by tubes cooled in water.
