In this case, this heater needs to supply around 30 kW, and it can&#8217;t be longer than 200mm (required), so it has to comply with measurements regarding the diameter and length of the tube. One of the solutions I&#8217;ve thought of is to apply a spiral inside the pipe in order to increase the path the water needs to travel (Flow rate = 20L\/min). This water must have a temperature difference of more than 60&ordm;C from the inlet to the outlet.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>First Option (Single Pipe): Diameter: 70mm; Length: 200cm&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Second Option: Diameter (Double Pipe): 50mm; Length: 400cm&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>I have run simulations in Ansys for different types of spiral increments, from 7mm (visible in the images)&nbsp; to 17mm, but no solution manages to exceed a difference of 30&ordm;C.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Does anyone have any advice?<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20-04-2024-1713657192-mceclip0.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/20-04-2024-1713657241-mceclip1.png\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-363331","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-cfd-ansys-1","topic-tag-heat-trasnfer","topic-tag-heater-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["344061","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.41"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["209"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["363331"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","344061"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["363478"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["363478"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-22 10:39:33"]},"test":"raf-oliveiraua-pt"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/363331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/363331\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
