Co-generation systems have many practical applications for energy-saving, utilization of various energy resources and energy recovery of waste gas. However, it is pointed out that heat exchangers of co-generation system involve some problems which are corrosion of heat surface, decrease of heat transfer rate due to accumulation of soot and NOx in waste gas.
Then. the heat exchange which contacts waste gas with liquid are studied to solve the above problems. The contacting state of gas and liquid has not been researched on the direct contact heat exchanger of gas and liquid. For it is considered that the contacting state has direct effects on a thermal efficiency and gas absorption. Then, we try to investigate the contacting state of gas and liquid by experiments of heating and image processing on the direct contact heat exchanger.
From the results, the contacting state of gas and liquid can be evaluate by a gas-liquid contacting area.
