Abstract

In this paper, the flow uniformity improvement and flow characteristic of the sensor condenser for a heat exchanger cleaning system were studied using response surface method and computational-fluid-dynamics. The design variable was defined as a shape for controllable sensor condenser area. The objective functions were defined as the improvement of flow uniformity in heat exchanger cleaning system tubes. The flow uniformity improvement and flow characteristic of optimum model was verified by numerical analysis and the reliability of the model was retained by comparison of numerical analysis and comparative analysis with the reference model.
