Heat transfer and pressure drop correlations
refrigerant Tcrit (°C) Pcrit (bar)
R125 66,0 36,2
R134a 101,1 40,6
• No appropriate heat transfer and pressure drop correlations available!
• Correlations will be determined through experiments
Easier on single tube than on full HX
• Selection of refrigerant:
• HX type: horizontal shell & tube or (spiral) tube-in-tube
• Design method: e.g. (subcritical) method of Taborek

Experimental work plan WP4
• Test setup for supercritical heat transfer in horizontal tube (@UGent - ATHT)
• Determination of heat transfer and pressure drop correlations
• Design of a PoC SC heat exchanger based on correlations
• Test of PoC SC heat exchanger (@HoWest)
Task 4.2
Task 4.3
Implementation of PoC SC HX in ORC validation of simulations

Requirements
• Easy implementation of SC heat exchanger in HoWest setup
• Refrigerant R125 or R134a
• High pressure (resp. 40 bar and 45 bar)
• Good insulation

Measurements
• Heat supply (hot oil)
• Refrigerant flow rate
• Pressure in/out
• Temperature in/out
• Temperature measurements in flow direction (?)
• Steady-state, if time also transient (cfr. validation task 4.4)
