Schematic representati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>multiport</strong> cylinder <strong>dryer</strong> heat transfer test apparatusMultiTherm is heated without boiling to 230°C (446°F) by an electrical resistance heater.The evaporator/superheater heat exchanger is of a shell-and-tube counter-flow design; it wasdesigned with relatively small flow passages for <strong>the</strong> MultiTherm liquid, to keep its flowturbulent. Inside <strong>the</strong> evaporator/superheater, <strong>the</strong> water exchanges heat with <strong>the</strong> MultiTherm loopfluid and changes from <strong>the</strong> liquid state into saturated or slightly superheated steam,corresp<strong>on</strong>ding to <strong>the</strong> system pressure. The water pressure, and thus its temperature at <strong>the</strong> testsecti<strong>on</strong> inlet, is c<strong>on</strong>trolled with <strong>the</strong> accumulator and high-pressure nitrogen tank shown in Fig. 5.
