Industrial scale testing of a spiral-wound heat exchanger.

Author(s) : REITHMEIER H., STEINBAUER M., STOCKMANN R., et al.

Summary

Rigorous LNG process- and heat exchanger models have been developed both by Linde and Statoil during several years, and these formed the backbone of the data acquisition and analysis. A test program was established to demonstrate the mechanical integrity during several tests as well as the correctness of the thermal, hydraulic and geometrical design for different operation scenarios. Major emphasis was put on the scientific analysis to verify design tools for thermal and hydraulic design of spiral-wound heat exchangers based on high quality operational data. The tests and analytical results, from two test periods in 1998 and 2001 and a continuous involvement of the heat exchanger in daily operations at the facility, provides an extremely comprehensive database.
