Abstract: Steady-state and transient equations are developed to describe the behaviours of different designs of finned-pipe heat exchangers when each alone is submerged in a 536-litre tank filled with water. The heat exchangers were required to cool a hot-water charged tank, initially at temperatures in the range 30-72°C. The water in the tank was in a free convective state, subject to buoyancy forces induced by water passing through the heat exchanger. Of the heat exchangers tested, the Integron type exhibits the best heat-transfer performance, particularly when arranged in a horizontal plane just beneath the surface of the water contained in the tank.
