Modelling and calculation of a small-size evaporation cooling apparatus for industrial recirculated water with a heat-and-mass exchange packing based on wastes from metal-working machinery

Abstract

The article presents the results of the experiments on fluid and gas dynamics through a layer of packing material S-Aisi304ε-0, 95 (ε=0, 95, σ=160m2/m3) suggested for use as packing blocks in small-size evaporation cooling apparatuses for industrial recirculated water. Experimentally confirmed effects are covered that prove the performance efficiency of wastes from metal-working machinery as packing materials for contact evaporation blocks. Results of mathematical modelling and engineering calculation of the main process parameters and dimensions for a small-size evaporation cooling apparatus for industrial recirculated water with use of contact blocks filled with the studied packing material are provided.
