Cross-flow staggered tube bank heat exchangers are among the most commonly used heat exchangers in heat recovery systems and closed type cooling towers due to resistance to fouling and high rate of volumetric heat transfer.
In this study, initial investment cost, operating cost and total cost for economic optimization of heat exchanger is investigated in a city of 2. climatic zone of Turkey. For initial investment cost, pump, ventilator and heat exchanger prices, and for operating cost electricity consumption of pump and ventilator are taken into consideration. But present values are used for operating costs. Results to be obtained are shown graphically for different parameters..
