For helium liquefaction/refrigeration systems, conventional design theory always fails in cryogenic applications and heat exchangers operating at low temperatures are usually sensitive to longitudinal heat conduction, heat in-leak from surroundings and variable fluid properties. Governing equations based on distributed parameter methods are developed to evaluate performance deterioration caused by these effects. The model synthetically considering these loss mechanisms is validated against experimental data and design results obtained by commercial software Aspen MUSETM. Sample multistream heat exchangers are further studied to discuss quantitative effects of these heat losses. In accordance with previous researches, the comprehensive effects of various losses are analyzed qualitatively in order to reveal their influences and investigate on the strategies of improving the heat transfer performance. The numerical method is useful in the design procedure of cryogenic heat exchangers and can be adopted to predict heat transfer and pressure drop performance under the actual low temperature environment.

The steady state distributed parameter model of heat exchangers in a heat-pump system was established in this paper. The calculating results of refrigerant quantities in the heat-exchangers show that refrigerant charge quantity in heating operating condition is less than that in refrigeration operating condition. Based on the differences of refrigerant mass flux between refrigeration and heating conditions, the exhaust bypass method to improve the operation efficiency of the heat-pump system was presented. And in order to prevent frosting on the surface of outdoor heat exchanger of the air source heat-pump, the solar energy assisted strategy was also applied in the heat-pump system.
