ShareCFD simulation of heat transfer in compact brazed plate heat exchangers.
Author(s) : PELLETIER O., STRÖMER F., CARLSON A.
Summary
The paper provides the result of an investigation about the possibility of simulating heat transfer in compact brazed plate heat exchangers (CBE) using a commercial CFD software. The simulations are performed using CFD software FLUENT 6.1 and a volume geometry corresponding to the channel in between two corrugated plates. Two different plate geometries are simulated and referred to as models CBE5a and CBE5b. The focus of the investigation is to try to reproduce with reasonable accuracy the experimentally measured differences between the two models.
