Résumé

Developing innovative, high-performing liquid-air heat exchangers requires the use of novel materials and control over the geometry. Polymeric pillow-plate heat exchangers are a promising technology; however, due to the inherent flexibility of polymer films, variability in plate-to-plate spacing in these devices can lead to flow maldistribution on the air side. In this work, a model for predicting the heat transfer performance in the presence of these effects is developed and compared to experimental results for polymeric pillow-plate heat exchangers. The effects of variability are severe, with heat exchangers with a 1.0-mm spacing between plates showing over 50% reduction in heat transfer coefficient when the ratio of standard deviation to mean of the spacing exceeds 30%. The model is able to predict the results well for such compact heat exchangers, with an average absolute deviation of 11.3%.
