Summary

THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSES OF THE DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT. FIRST-AND SECOND-ORDER MODELS WITH DEAD TIME ARE PROPOSED AND CHECKED AGAINST RESULTS OBTAINED BY EXPERIMENTAL SINUSOIDAL AND PULSE TESTING. IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF THE OUTLET TEMPERATURE OF THE COLD STREAM TO VARIATIONS IN THE MASS FLOW OF THE HOT STREAM MOST CLOSELY APPROACHES THE SECOND-ORDER TRANSFER FUNCTION.
