The Overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC) is very impotent factor in the 3
design of plate type heat exchange design
OHTC units – Kcal / hr/m2/ °C or Kw/m2/ °C, 4
It is mainly depends upon the following parameters 5
a) Cold fluid film resistance 6
b) Hot fluid film resistance 7
c) Plate resistance – According to MOC (material of construction) of the plate 8
d) Resistance of scale. ( fouling factor) 9
e) Velocity of hot and cold fluid inside the heaters 10
