A review of different heat exchangers designs for increasing the diesel exhaust waste heat recovery

Abstract In this paper, after a short review of waste heat recovery technologies from diesel engines, the heat exchangers (HEXs) used in exhaust of engines is introduced as the most common way. So, a short review of the technologies that increase the heat transfer in HEXs is introduced and the availability of using them in the exhaust of engines is evaluated and finally a complete review of different HEXs which previously were designed for increasing the exhaust waste heat recovery is presented. Also, future view points for next HEXs designs are proposed to increase heat recovery from the exhaust of diesel engines.
