An Investigation of Aircraft Heaters. 12 - Performance of a Formed- Plate Crossflow Exhaust Gas and Air Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Heat exchanger was performance tested using exhaust gas rates from 4550 to 7000 lb/hr and ventilating air rates from 2200 to 4750 lb/hr. At exhaust gas rate of 5800 lb/hr and air rate of 3000 lb/hr, thermal output was 285,000 BTU/hr and pressure drops were 6.2 in. water on air side and 14 in. on exhaust gas side. Pressure drop on exhaust gas side may possibly be reduced by decreasing cross-section area restriction and yet not greatly reducing thermal output.
