1 A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. This has a major advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids are spread out over the plates. This facilitates the […]

Heat exchangers are used in various applications, including: HVAC systems: Heating and cooling buildings. Power plants: Cooling turbines and condensers. Industrial processes: Heating or cooling liquids and gases. Automotive industry: Cooling engines and transmissions. Types of Heat Exchangers: There are various types of heat exchangers, including:...

The plate heat exchanger (PHE) is a specialized design well suited to transferring heat between medium- and low-pressure fluids. Welded, semi-welded and brazed heat exchangers are used for heat exchange between high-pressure fluids or where a more compact product is required A heat exchanger transfers thermal energy from a hotter fluid to a cooler...

Design calculations of a plate heat exchanger include flow distribution and pressure drop and heat transfer. The former is an issue of Flow distribution in manifolds.[3] A layout configuration of plate heat exchanger can be usually simplified into a manifold system with two manifold headers for dividing and combining fluids, which can be...

To achieve improvement in PHEs, two important factors have to be considered, namely the amount of heat transfer and pressure drop, such that the amount of heat transfer needs to be increased and pressure drops need to be decreased. In plate heat exchangers, due to the presence of corrugated plate, there is a significant resistance […]
