IMPROVEMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER IN HEAT PLATE EXCHANGER CONVERTERS FOR SINGLE PHASE APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

Abstract

Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is a modern, efficient heat exchanger that increases heat recovery and energy efficiency. For plate heat exchangers, existing observations and information in the literature can be used to continue using the heat recovery process. This article examines the major advances in the development and research of hot plate transformers and the development of heat transfer systems and examines important developments such as plate and frame, brazed and welded plate heat exchangers. The differences between modification models and their effects on the thermal and hydraulic performance of plate heat exchangers are discussed. Most modern plate heat exchangers have curved grooves on the surface of the plates, creating a strong, rigid structure with many points of contact between the plates. Methods for investigating PHE are generally surveying and/or CFD modelling. What does not affect the performance of plate heat exchangers are the main groove, the groove inclination angle relative to the main direction, and the groove aspect ratio. Optimizing these parameters is one way to improve the performance of plate heat exchangers. Other ways to improve heat transfer are also being considered, including the transfer case of corrugated plates, the use of nanofluids, and active processes. Future research directions such as better understanding, development of new corrugated image images, and optimization and area and cost estimation are suggested.
