The Impact

Designed a new type of plate heat exchanger-dimpled plate heat exchanger, then conducted a three-dimensional numerical simulation on flow, heat transfer and resistance characteristics of 15 kinds of different sizes dimpled plate heat exchangers by Fluent software，obtains the impact of the dimples geometric parameters such as dimple diameter, dimple spacing, dimple height on the heat transfer and flow characteristics. The results show that in different Reynolds number, dimple diameter, dimple spacing and dimple height on the effect of the dimple plate heat transfer efficiency is quite similar, and the impact becomes increasingly evident with the Reynolds numbers increasing. The combined effect of plate heat exchanger is best when dimple diameter, dimple spacing, dimple height are separately 12mm, 21mm, 4mm in the 15 kinds of different combination dimpled plates.

The present investigation proposes an innovative convergent double pipe heat exchanger (C-DPHE). A two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric heat transfer model with counterflow is employed to analyze the thermal and hydraulic performance of this configuration numerically. The impact of convergence in the flow direction, using a wide range of contraction ratio (Cr), is explored. The effect of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers on the flow and heat transfer is addressed, as well. The model results were validated with available data from the literature, and an excellent agreement has been confirmed. In general, the findings of the present study indicate that increasing the contraction ratio increases heat transfer and pressure drop in the C-DPHE. Moreover, this configuration has a prominent and sustainable performance, compared to a conventional double pipe heat exchanger (DPHE), with an enhancement in heat transfer rate up to 32% and performance factor (PF) higher than one. Another appealing merit for the C-DPHE is that it is quite effective and functional at low Reynolds and high Prandtl numbers, respectively, since no high-operating pumping power is required. Further, the optimal operating conditions can be established utilizing the comprehensive information provided in this work.

Important Means

High efficiency heat exchanger is always a hot topic, and field synergy theory is introduced as an important means to optimize the heat transfer efficiency. Based on the field synergy theory, a new type of heat exchanger is proposed in this paper, in which, the cold and hot fluid presents reverse cross flow law. Through the verification of the test and numerical simulation results, a reasonable numerical simulation model and method are obtained. Then, the flow and heat transfer conditions of the new structure heat exchanger are simulated by the verified numerical simulation technology. The conclusion is as follows: K-ε turbulence model and coupled heat transfer model can be effectively used in the numerical simulation of heat exchanger. And the reverse cross convection heat exchanger can effectively improve the uniformity of water temperature distribution in the heat exchanger.
