Impacts of manufacturing tolerances on the effectiveness-Ntu method for regenerative exchanger design.

Author(s) : SHANG W., BESANT R. W.

Summary

In the design of regenerative exchangers, the number of transfer units, Ntu, is directly proportional to the surface area and inversely proportional to the mass flow rate. This study is intended to show that the effective Ntu decreases when manufacturing tolerances in the flow channels are considered for regenerative exchangers. [Reprinted with permission from Ashrae.
