1 Fired Heater Design Mahesh N. Jethva 1, C. G. Bhagchandani 2 1 M.E., 2 Associate Professor, Chemical Engineering Department, L.D. College of Engineering, Ahmedabad Abstract- In fired heaters, heat is released by combustion of fuels into an open space and transferred to process fluids inside tubes. The tubes are ranged along the walls and roof of the combustion chamber. The heat is transferred by direct radiation and convection and also by reflection from refractory walls lining the chamber. The design and rating of a fired heater is a moderately complex operation. Here forced draft fired heater, which is fired by fuel gas, has been treated. For that all required equations and generalizations are listed from different fired heater design methods as per requirement. A fired heater design calculations are performed using Microsoft Excel Programming software. Keywords- Convective heat transfer, Heat balance, Radiant heat transfer, Shield section. I. INTRODUCTION A fired heater is a direct-fired heat exchanger that uses the hot gases of combustion to raise the temperature of a feed flowing through coils of tubes aligned throughout the heater. Depending on the use, these are also called furnaces or process heaters. Some heaters simply deliver the feed at a predetermined temperature to the next stage of the reaction process; others perform reactions on the feed while it travels through the tubes. Fired heaters are used throughout hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries such as refineries, gas plants, petrochemicals, chemicals and synthetics, olefins, ammonia and fertilizer plants. Most of the unit operations require one or more fired heaters as start-up heater, fired reboiler, cracking furnace, process heater, process heater vaporizer, crude oil heater or reformer furnace. Heater fuels include light ends (e.g. refinery gas) from the crude units and reformers as well as waste gases blended with natural gas. Residual fuels such as tar, pitch, and Bunker C (heavy oil) are also used. Combustion air flow is regulated by positioning the stack damper. Fuel to the burners is regulated from exit feed temperature and firing rate is determined by the level of production desired. A typical fired heater will have following four sections: (1) Radiant section, (2) Shield section, (3) Convection section, and (4) Breeching and stack. A fired heater may be a box (rectangular c/s) or vertical (cylindrical c/s) in shape. Same way, a fired heater may be classified depending on location of the burners and type of the draft. II. RADIANT SECTION DESIGN A. Radiant Heat Transfer in Radiant Section: Applying basic radiation concepts to process-type heater design, Lobo & Evans developed a generally applicable rating method that is followed with various modifications, by many heater designers. Direct radiation in the radiant section of a direct fired heater can be described by the equation shown below. = Radiant heat transfer, = Stefan-Boltzmann constant, 0.173E-8 Btu/ft 2 -hr-r 4 = Relative effectiveness factor of the tube bank = Cold plane area of the tube bank, ft 2 = Exchange factor = Effective gas temperature in firebox, R = Average tube wall temperature, R B. Heat Balance In The Radiant Section: There are four primary sources of heat input as well as four sources of heat output to the radiant section. We can now set up the heat balance equation as follows: = heat liberated by fuel, (LHV) = sensible heat of combustion air, = sensible heat of steam used for oil atomization, = sensible heat of recirculated flue gases, = heat absorbed by radiant tubes, = Radiant heat to shield tubes, = heat loss in firebox through furnace walls, bridgewall, casing, etc., = heat of flue gases leaving the radiant section, C. Total Heat Transfer in Radiant Section (if Shield Section is present): The total heat transfer in firebox when shield section is present will be as follows: 61

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient, : = Overall heat transfer coefficient, = Total outside thermal resistance, hr-ft 2 -F/Btu = Outside thermal resistance, hr-ft 2 -F/Btu = Tube wall thermal resistance, hr-ft 2 -F/Btu = Inside thermal resistance, hr-ft 2 -F/Btu And the resistances are computed as, And the Prandtl number is, = Heat transfer coefficient, liquid phase, ft 2 - F = Thermal conductivity, -ft- F = Inside diameter of tube, ft = Absolute viscosity at bulk temperature, lb/ft-hr = Absolute viscosity at wall temperature, lb/ft-hr = Heat transfer coefficient, vapor phase, ft 2 - F = Bulk temperature of vapor, R = Wall Temperature of vapor, R = Mass flow of fluid, lb/hr-ft 2 = Heat capacity of fluid at bulk temperature, Btu/lb- F For two-phase flow, = Effective outside heat transfer coefficient, = Inside film heat transfer coefficient, -ft 2 - F = Tube-wall thickness, ft = Tube wall thermal conductivity, -ft-f = Outside tube surface area, ft 2 /ft = Mean area of tube wall, ft 2 /ft = Inside tube surface area, ft 2 /ft = Inside fouling resistance, hr-ft 2 -F/Btu B. Inside film heat transfer coefficient, : The inside film coefficient needed for the thermal calculations may be estimated by several different methods. The API RP530, Appendix C provides the following methods, For liquid flow with 10,000, And for vapor flow with 15,000, = Heat transfer coefficient, two-phase, -ft 2 - F = Weight fraction of liquid = Weight fraction of vapor C. Effective outside heat transfer coefficient ( for Fin tubes: = Average outside heat transfer coefficient, = Fin efficiency = Total outside surface area, ft 2 /ft = Fin outside surface area, ft 2 /ft = Outside tube surface area, ft 2 /ft i.

Outside film heat transfer coefficient, : = Colburn heat transfer factor = Mass velocity based on net free area, lb/hr-ft 2 = Heat capacity, Btu/lb-F = Gas thermal conductivity, -ft-f = Gas dynamic viscosity, lb/hr-ft iii.

Mass Velocity, : Net Free Area, : = Number of tube rows = Longitudinal tube pitch, in = Transverse tube pitch, in = Mass flow rate of gas, lb/hr = Net free area, ft 2 = Cross sectional area of box, ft 2 = Fin tube cross sectional area/ft, ft 2 /ft = Effective tube length, ft = Number tubes wide = Reynolds number = Geometry correction, : For segmented fin tubes arranged in, a staggered pattern, an inline pattern, For solid fin tubes arranged in, a staggered pattern, an inline pattern, = Fin height, in = Fin spacing, in Non-equilateral & row correction, : For fin tubes arranged in, Staggered pattern, = Fin height, ft = Outside diameter of tube, ft = Transverse tube pitch, ft = fin thickness, ft = number of fins, fins/ft v. Surface Area Calculations: For the prime tube, And for segmented fins, ( ) = Outside diameter of tube, ft = number of fins, fins/ft = fin thickness, ft = Fin height, ft = Width of fin segment, ft 63
