Designing a shell and tube heat exchanger for a 100kW rice husk gasifier requires cooling syngas from 300°C to 60°C, utilizing syngas on the tube side and cooling water on the shell side. The discussion revolves around determining the number of heat exchangers needed, with questions about whether one, two, or three units would suffice. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and methodologies for setting the temperature range for each exchanger. The design must consider efficiency and thermal performance to achieve the desired cooling. Effective design will ensure optimal heat transfer and system reliability.

TL;DR
shell and tube heat exchanger for gasifier cooling system
I need some help with designing a shell and tube heat exchanger for a 100kW rice husk gasifier. The goal is to cool the syngas from 300°C to 60°C, with the syngas on the tube side and cooling water on the shell side. How many shell and tube heat exchangers would be required for this task? Would one be enough, or would I need two or three? Additionally, how should I set the temperature range for each exchanger?

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
