摘要：A set of experimental facilities were set up to measure overall heat transfer coefficient of horizontal-tube falling film evaporator with square-pitch bundle. Effect of spray density, saturation temperature, total temperature difference, and inlet steam velocity on the overall heat transfer coefficient K is studied. The tubes are made of HAL77-2A aluminum brass with an outer diameter of 25.4 mm. Fluids inside and outside the tubes are steam and fresh water respectively. The results indicate that growth of spray density and saturation temperature helps to increase the K. The K could also be increased by reducing the total temperature difference. However, the impact of the inlet steam velocity on the K is less significant. Furthermore tube bundle-depth effect and space distribution of local overall heat transfer coefficient (K) over tilde in the evaporator are also presented. Based on this investigation, basic engineering design information will be provided to establish the governing parameters for horizontal-tube falling film evaporator in the field of seawater desalination.
