exchangers with enhanced surfaces for improved performance. SINTEF Energy Research and NTNU have large and advanced laboratory facilities and relevant experimental rigs and equipment.
advanced heat-exchangers, correlations for use in design and simulation tools will be developed.
Development of a design tool for compact heat exchangers for LNG heat exchangers
Based on the experimental and modeling activities. An important feature is the wide geometric flexibility in definition
and simulation of new designs, both regarding tube configuration and tube and fin geometry.
