HC-290 (Propane) Vaporisation Inside a Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the heat transfer coefficients measured during HC-290 (Propane) vaporisation inside a brazed plate heat exchanger: the effects of heat flux, saturation temperature (pressure) and outlet conditions are investigated. The heat transfer coefficients show weak sensitivity to saturation temperature (pressure) and great sensitivity to heat flux and outlet conditions. The saturated boiling experimental heat transfer coefficients are compared with two well-known equations for nucleate boiling (Cooper (1984) and Gorenflo (1993)). The mean absolute percentage deviation between experimental and calculated heat transfer coefficients is 26.9% and 16.6% for Cooper (1984) and Gorenflo (1993) equation respectively. The heat transfer measurement has been complemented with IR thermography in order to quantify the portion of the heat transfer surface affected by vapour super-heating.

Average Nusselt numbers were measured for R22, R290, R290/600a, and R32/152a undergoing evaporation and condensation in a brazed plate heat exchanger. The refrigerants experienced wavy, stratified flow at low heat and mass fluxes, 1.3 kW/m2 to 8.3 kW/m2 and 1.6 kg/m2 s to 19 kg/m 2 s, respectively. Heat transfer correlations from the literature for in-tube and channel flow of refrigerants with ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Brazing on Very Compact Heat Exchanger Surfaces
Three geometrically similar offset rectangular platefin surfaces with area densities in the range from goo to 2000 ft 2/ft3 were tested to establish the heat transfer., j-NR~ and flow friction, f-NR, characteristics. The Reynolds number range was from 60 to 3000. One surface was unbrazed while the other two, because of a two-to-one difference in plate, fin and offset spacing dimensions~ were ch...
متن کاملHeat transfer enhancement in a spiral plate heat exchanger model using continuous rods
This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...
