Abstract:

Today, where energy sources are very important, alternative systems are applied for waste heat recovery of flue gas in sectors that use energy resources intensively. With the alternative systems applied, heat losses are tried to be minimized. In this study, thermal performance was tried to be improved by using self-winged (finnish) tubular economy. The study was compared both experimentally and numerically. An experimental set has been set up to measure thermal performance. Solidworks Flow Simulation program for heat transfer analysis and FireCAD program for performance measurement were also used. The most important difference of the study from other studies is the use of different types of fin pipes by changing the wing range distances. The wingspans are 5,10 and 14 mm. Calculations were made for heat transfers and pressure drop in all pipes according to wing ranges. The finnish range, which also has the best effect on economic performance, has been examined and observed theoretically and experimentally. The results obtained as a result of the analyses are given in tables and figures.
