Abstract
The novel segment electric in-line process electric heaters heater designed to heat various fluids analyzed in this work. The complete electric heater consists of several hollow cylindrical segment heating elements. The segment heating elements can vary positioned in relation to the fluid flow. The total power of the segment process heater is equal to the sum of the power of all heating segments and is 0.756kW. Volumetric air flow variations in the amount of 0.001m3s-1, 0.002m3s-1 and 0.003m3s-1. The heating elements are positioned in the three combinations in relation to the direction of the fluid flow. The comparative numeric analysis, conducted for this work, has the goal to determine the influence of the arrangement of segment heaters on the overall energy efficiency of the segment electric heater. In order to verify the results of the numeric simulations carried out and experimental investigations of the segment electric heater. Keywords: In-line heater Energy efficiency Segment elements Fluid flow, Convective heating
