I want to reach highest temperatures in an existing shell & tube heat exchanger with minimal modifications.
Actual situation:
Heating a fuel mass M to 300°C in the tube side of a shell & tube heat exchanger.
Objective:
Heat the fuel mass M to 350°C in the same heat exchanger.
Restrictions:
When over heat the fuel, it forms coke. The experience with this fuel says that the coke forms when fouling.
I am thinking in the possibility to use static mixers, to promote heat transfer and avoid fouling.
Can anyone suggest some other ways to explore?
Does anybody have some similar experience?
Can anyone let me know if static mixers can work? Some companies that make static mixers to promote heat transfer? If possible, could I get a phone number and/or website address?
Any help is welcome.
