An Investigation of Aircraft Heaters. 11 - Measured and Predicted Performance of a Slotted-Fin Exhaust Gas and Air Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Thermal and pressure drop performance data are given on slotted-fin heat exchanger. Measurements were made using up to 7000 lb/hr of exhaust gas and up to 5000 lb/hr ventilating air. Inlet exhaust gas temperature was maintained at 1400 deg F, and that of the ventilating air was 95 deg F. Three different cross-flow air shrouds were used in tests. Thermal output of heater was determined by enthalpy changes of ventilating air. Maximum measured rate of heat transfer was 216,000 BTU per hour.
