Apparatus and process to change at least a property selected from a gas and to increase the coefficient of heat transfer for gas with a surface of the heat transfer

摘要

On a surface on which heat is exchanged with a gas media, the heat transfer coefficient can be enhanced by directing a spray at the surface. The spray droplets can disrupt the stagnant air layer adjacent to the exchange surface, can increase the area for heat and mass transfer and can aid in carrying vapor from the gas media to the exchange surface.
