2.1.2. Hot side, cold side


Both media must be given. The program configuration always ensures exactly one medium for each side. You only have to check if selection is according to your request.

Two values per side must be given at least of mass flow, Tin, Tout.

Numerical values must be entered into exactly five fields totally of all fields for mass flow, Tin, Tout and performance.

The fields Delta p_max and fouling (contamination) should be chosen according to application. To perform experiments is recommended to get sense of the connections. Both a pressure drop estimated too low and a fouling factor being entered too high may lead to an oversized unit. Regarding fouling you can look up under keyword "fouling" in technical literature.
