Triple helical baffle heat exchanger was proposed to arrange more helical baffle in shell side with large helix angle and enhance heat transfer rate. In this paper
the flow characteristics and heat transfer performance of heat exchangers with triple helical baffles were analyzed. The comprehensive performance between single-helical and triple-helical baffle heat exchangers were compared based on the calculating results of pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient when Reynolds number ranges from 1391-4174. The results showed that:heat transfer coefficient and JF factor of triple-helical baffle heat exchangers is 27.9% higher and 13.67% higher than single-helical baffle heat exchanger respectively. Besides entransy dissipation theory was used to analyze the heat transfer performance of triple-helical baffle heat exchanger with different helix angle
and triple-helical baffle with 64.8° got the lowest entransy dissipation rate. The heat transfer rate of central tube and outer tube were compared
outer tube have higher heat transfer rate compared with central tube.
