Observed performance of the Fuel Sample Cooler (open access)

Observed performance of the Fuel Sample Cooler

Measurements of flow rate through the fuel high-pressure system sampler indicate that the average flow rates is about 0.29 gpm (145 lb/hr) plus or minus 50%, which affords an adequate purge of from 12 to 36 volumes through the sample line if the full fifteen minutes of purging is allowed before isolating the sample. The fuel sample cooler was fund to have adequate capacity to reduce the temperature of the fuel solution form about 275 to 70 C, using pre-heated cooling water at 70 C. Uncertainties in temperature measurements make it impossible to estimate an observed over-all heat transfer coefficient.
