Comparative analysis of flat heat pipe heat exchanger with conventional heat recovery systems in steel industry

The steel industry relies on heating for the majority of its energy needs. Reduced production costs and emissions of greenhouse gases are two major benefits of recovering residual heat. A Flat Heat Pipe (FHP) heat transfer-based retrieval system is outlined in this study as the procedures for its co...

description The steel industry relies on heating for the majority of its energy needs. Reduced production costs and emissions of greenhouse gases are two major benefits of recovering residual heat. A Flat Heat Pipe (FHP) heat transfer-based retrieval system is outlined in this study as the procedures for its conception, production, and evaluation. Stainless Steel (SS) Heat Pipes (HP) are integrated into the FHP system in a shell-and-tube configuration, connected by a top and bottom header. After analyzing the FHP’s thermal performance in both a lab and an industry, both the energy improved and the processing temperature are reported. Predicting the device’s performance in the lab was made possible with the use of a theoretical modeling tool. The results acquired from experiments and those from theory are in reasonable accord. The findings indicate that FHP is a cutting-edge, highly efficient method for recovering heat from these types of industrial applications.
