Increasing the Heat Transfer Efficiency of Heating System by the AdjustingFlow Rate of Thermanol/ Crude Oil

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the maximum efficiency of the heating system and investigate the opportunities of operating cost reduction the inPetrodaroperation company pipeline crude by adjusting thermal oil flow rate, real data (readings) such as temperature, of flow rate taken, analyzed and put into tables and graphs and calculating system efficiencywith corresponding thermail oil by excel program. The data taken for five months starting from October 2017 untilFebruary 2018.The maximum thermal efficiencywas 90.73% with lower fuel consumption 5 cubic meters per hour in December 2017, when the thermal oil flow rate (thermanol) was670315kg/ h. The appropriate fuel consumption 5 cubic meter per hours which is gives the highest crude oil temperature about 71.9 ° C. By using the finding result, we can consider it as a reference operating condition for the heating system
