Heat exchanger area
Hi All, Sorry for not replying to each one separately. I will try to reply to all at once :) IRstuff, I am trying to build a condenser, the r410a should warm up the water. georgeverghese, the water that are flowing are in open loop, to say that the water of the tank itself flow trough the...- Ron10000

Heat exchanger area
Hi LittleInch, Sorry if I was rude, I just replied to all posts at once. I wouldn't say I'm trying to make it smaller, but I don't want to make it ridiculously large for no reason :) So your answers are very helpful as I now understand that I shouldn't decrease the area by to much. Many thanks- Ron10000

Heat exchanger area
it's a pipe in pipe heat exchanger. It should transfer heat from r410a gas to water. So, in case I know 0.6m2 for iron is enough... How much do you believe switching to copper should save? (If at all?) Don't over think it, It's not like I'm taking the plans to a factory to build 1000 units :)...- Ron10000

Heat exchanger area
Hi, This is not a theoretical question :) I and designing a heat exchanger. I am planing to use copper as the material that will exchange the hit. I'm having trouble deciding about the area of the heat transfer. I am familiar with a heat exchanger, for the same application, that exchange heat...- Ron10000
