The results showed that the value of the irrigation density depends on the velocity of the air-water vapour mixture and the initial vapour content and should be calculated from an empirical equation. The active pipe height depends on the velocity of the air-water vapour mixture and the initial vapour content and should also be calculated from an empirical equation. For example, if the initial vapour content of the air-water vapour mixture is 11%, the velocity of the mixture is 20.8 m/s the height of the channel should not exceed 0.460 m. The value of the water heating limit temperature increases from 46◦C to 62◦C with a change in the initial vapour content from 11% to 30%. The present experimental results could be helpful in the design of direct contact heat and mass exchangers for waste heat recovery.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental investigation of limit parameters of direct contact condensation in the heat exchanger for waste heat recovery}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/131159/PDF/art22_576.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2023.149729}, keywords={direct contact heat mass exchanger, direct contact condensation, processof cooling flue gas, air-water vapour mixture}, }
