Micro Heat Exchanger

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of a micro heat exchanger structure are studied with the method of contrasting experiment and Fluent numerical simulation. Considering the micro heat exchanger to meet the work requirements of conditions, there is some optimization of the structure redundancy. The optimal model of micro heat exchanger is obtained by the numerical simulation and comparative analysis on seven different kinds of micro heat exchangers.

In the present work, the phase change energy storage heat exchanger in thermal control system of short-time and periodic working satellite payloads is taken as the research object. Under the condition of constant heated power of the satellite payload, the heat transfer characteristics of phase change energy storage heat exchanger are analyzed by numerical simulation and experimental method. The heat exchanger with fin arrays to enhance heat transfer is filled with tetradecane, whose density varies with temperature. The flow field distribution, the solid-liquid distribution, the temperature distribution, and the phase change process in the plate phase change energy storage heat exchanger unit are analyzed. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of heat exchangers under different fluid-flow rates and temperature were investigated.
