Calculations of the Temperature Differences LMTD and CMTD

Abstract

First the logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) for equipments with ideal countercurrent stream is derived. In multipass heat exchangers with nonideal countercurrent stream, the LMTD must be converted to the corrected effective mean temperature difference (CMTD) with the temperature efficiency factor F. It is shown how the temperature efficiency factor F can be graphically determined or how the CMTD can be calculated. Also, the effect of the bypass streams on the temperature difference LMTD and the determination of the mean weighted temperature difference for curved condensation curves are explained. Finally, the heat exchanger outlet temperature for a given heat exchanger is determined.

2.1. Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference for Ideal Countercurrent Flow

The logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) for ideal countercurrent flow is determined from the two temperature differences ?t1 and ?t2.

=?t1-?t2ln?t1?t2?t1=T1-t2?t2=T2-t1

T1=shell-side inlet temperature (°C)

T2=shell-side outlet temperature (°C)

t1=tube-side inlet temperature (°C)

t2=tube-side outlet temperature (°C)

Example 1: Calculation of the logarithmic mean temperature difference

2.2. Corrected Temperature Difference for Multipass Heat Exchanger

In Chapter 1, it was already pointed out that with a multipass heat exchanger, there is no ideal countercurrent but a mixture of co- and countercurrent flow.

This makes the effective temperature gradient worse.

In Figures 2.2 and 2.3, temperature efficiency diagrams are shown, it is clear that the driving temperature difference in the one-pass equipment with ideal countercurrent is better than in the two-pass heat exchanger.

Procedure for the determination of the corrected effective mean temperature difference (CMTD) for heat exchangers with nonideal countercurrent flow:

First, the LMTD is calculated from the inlet and outlet temperatures on the tube and shell side.

With nonideal countercurrent, the LMTD must be corrected with a temperature efficiency factor F.

=F×LMTD

F=temperature efficiency factor

LMTD=logarithmic mean temperature difference (°C) for countercurrent flow

CMTD=corrected effective mean temperature difference (°C) for multipass heat exchangers

The temperature efficiency factor F can be calculated for a heat exchanger shell type E according to TEMA using the following equation:

=(R2+1R-1)ln[(1-Pz)/(1-RPz)]ln[(2/Pz)-1-R+R2+1(2/Pz)-1-R-R2+1]Pz=1-(RP-1P-1)1/NR-(RP-1P-1)1/N

=t2-t1T1-t1R=T1-T2t2-t1

N=number of heat exchangers in series

The following table shows how large the temperature approach or a temperature cross deteriorates the CMTD, and that one can improve the temperature efficiency factor with multiple heat exchangers in series.

Corollary:

1. With large approach of temperatures at the tube and shell side, the temperature efficiency factor F and hence the CMTD deteriorates.

2. Through the arrangement of multiple heat exchangers one after the other, one can improve the temperature efficiency factor F because with this arrangement one approaches the countercurrent flow.

3. A large temperature cross is only possible with multiple equipments in series.

The temperature efficiency factor F can also be determined graphically using the diagrams in Figure 2.4 with the calculation variables P and R.

Alternatively, the CMTD in multipass heat exchangers can be determined with the calculation variables O and M.

=MlnO+MO-M(°C)O=(T1-t2)+(T2-t1)M=(T1-T2)2+(t2-t1)2
