Based on Computer Software to Analysis the Influence of Geometry Parameters of Herringbone Plate Heat Exchanger Plate on Heat Exchange Performance

Based on computer software (FLUENT) to simulate the diversion region and heat exchange region of herringbone plate heat exchanger. An internal fluid model of a diversion zone and a heat exchange zone consisting of two sets of plates with different geometrical parameters was established. The velocity, temperature and pressure distribution of the flow field in the model were analyzed to investigate the effect of different tilt angles and peak spacings on the heat transfer performance of the herringbone plate heat exchanger under the same arc radius. The results show that when the peak spacing h = 20 mm, the herringbone plate with radius of arc R = 180 mm the inclination \(\phi = 20^{ \circ }\) has better heat transfer performance than the herringbone plate with the radius of arc R = 140 mm the inclination \(\phi = 30^{ \circ }\). Provides basis for optimizing design of diversion zone of herringbone plate heat exchanger plate.
