(ee) C3 Typical Values of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficients Wilfried Roetzel' » Bernhard Spang” *Helmut-Schmidt-Universtit, Universitat der Bundeswehr Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. °BUCO Warmeaustauscher International GmbH, Geesthacht, Germany 1 Introduction 1 Introduction ‘The empirical values listed below are intended for the prelimi- nary design of heat exchangers. The lower values apply to comparatively adverse conditions, eg. low flow velocities, vis- ‘ous liquids, free convection, and fouling. The higher values are valid for particularly favorable conditions, eg, high flow velocities, thin Quid layers, optimum mass flow ratios, and clean surfaces. In special cases, values may fill below or exceed the given range. Therefore, the figures must be regarded criti- cally and with the necessary caution. The given k values do not take additional heat conduction resistances of insulation and protective coatings into account.
