PCOIL is divided by applications types in several calculation modalities.<br>With its wide array of calculation modes, PCOIL allows Energy Recovery calculations, ranging from applications with gas external to the pillow bank, to steam that condenses, to vaporizers using exhaust gas to createsteam. The Falling Film Chiller module, fluid-fluid or DX, uses specific conduction equations allowingto calculate the film thickness as a function of flow rate, size and distribution on the plates, and asa function of this thickness, to calculate the heat transfer coefficient. Air heaters, used for examplein seed heating, and Air Coolers applications, complete the Pcoil module.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module image -->\n<div  class=\"module module-image tb_6bca890 image-top   tf_mw\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"image-wrap tf_rel tf_mw\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1930\" height=\"1158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-scaled.jpg\" class=\"wp-post-image wp-image-17997\" title=\"AdobeStock_237510063\" alt=\"AdobeStock_237510063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-scaled.jpg 1930w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_237510063-2048x1229.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1930px) 100vw, 1930px\" \/>    \n        <\/div>\n    <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n    \n        <\/div>\n<!-- \/module image -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_lsjs824 rounded last\">\n                    <!-- module plain text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-plain-text tb_acwi824 \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full\" id=\"wpforms-28502\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-28502\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"28502\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3791\" data-token=\"06e630f71e109b596e08fe34bac5e13b\" data-token-time=\"1778978384\"><div class=\"wpforms-head-container\"><div class=\"wpforms-title\">Richiedi la brochure o una demo online<\/div><div class=\"wpforms-description\">Sarai contattato dal nostro team per trovare la migliore soluzione per i tuoi requisiti.

dimensional parameters in order to obtain a certain capacity.<br>It is possible to consider the orientation of the exchanger in vertical or horizontal. The checks allow you to set certain parameters such as plate height, plate width, and frame width in a fixed way, so as to keep some values in a fixed mask, keeping others free. If for example, the frame width is left free, setting the distance between one plate and another, the number of plates will be changed. It is possible to leave everything free, the design mode will find the heat exchanger that meets the user&#8217;s requirements. The program also allows selecting nozzles on one side and the other, automatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-rec.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17962 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-rec.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"887\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-rec.png 887w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-rec-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-rec-768x579.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/a><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-r6vx892-1\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-r6vx892-1-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-plus\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-plus\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-minus\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-minus\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-minus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">ENERGY RECOVERY ANALYSIS<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-r6vx892-1-content\" data-id=\"acc-r6vx892-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_dhlu106\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_xko3106 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_yw3f106   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-recovery-analysis.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17964 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-recovery-analysis.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-recovery-analysis.png 816w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-recovery-analysis-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/energy-recovery-analysis-768x475.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For energy recovery applications, the user can also perform an\u00a0 Energy Recovery Analysis of the heat exchanger, evaluating the annual amount of energy recovered, the payback period and even the amount of CO2 recovered!<br>This analysis is performed with practicality, considering factors such as cost and weight of the material, commercial factor, energy cost, hours of operation per day, and days of operation per year.

So the heat exchange, in this case, is not done by convection, but it is a heat exchange by conduction. This method by conduction becomes very efficient when the film thickness is low. The Falling Film module contains equations to calculate the film thickness as a function of flow rate, size, and distribution. The program calculates the film thickness and, as a function of it, the heat transfer coefficient is calculated. In these cases, the plate distance is very large.<br>By clicking on Cost\/Weight in this case there is no energy saving, as there is no heat recovery, but the calculation mask only provides the cost of the actual product according to the input provided.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FallingFilmChillerSoftware.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17968 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FallingFilmChillerSoftware.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"922\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FallingFilmChillerSoftware.png 922w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FallingFilmChillerSoftware-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unilab.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/FallingFilmChillerSoftware-768x581.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><\/a><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-r6vx892-4\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-r6vx892-4-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-plus\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-plus\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-minus\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-minus\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-minus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-r6vx892-4-content\" data-id=\"acc-r6vx892-4\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_0k5w105\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_ko22105 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_p86r105   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>In AIR HEATER applications, air needs a fan to move, so by verifying this heat exchanger and clicking on the Cost\/Weight button, it is possible to have the so-called LCC Analysis, that is LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS of the product. In the LCC analysis, I can consider fan efficiency (the smaller the fan size, the lower the efficiency), material cost, commercial factor, energy cost, hours of daily operation and days of annual operation, Kg of carbon dioxide per kWh. The software once again will calculate the cost of the product, provide with the annual plant operating hours, make an indicative analysis of the cost, give the absorbed power of the fan and therefore its annual consumption, the energy annual cost, the life cycle cost and the equivalent Kg of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. While these calculations are indicative, at a glance they allow the user to compare thecost of one product with another, in a matter of seconds.<br>It is possible to further elaborate the economic calculation according to special needs and rules.
