ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for evaluting the performance of a heat exchanger are described. Water is supplied to the heat exchanger at a known mass flow rate and temperature. The water is directed to traverse a flow path of the heat exchanger. The water is then heated and redirected into another flow path of the heat exchanger in heat exchange relation with the first flow path. The temperature change of the water over a flow path is measured to determine the performance of the heat exchange. The water flow rate and incoming water temperature may be fixed to make a single discharge temperature measurement sufficient to calculate heat exchager performance.
