Abstract

The up to date investigations concerning media flow maldistribution in heat exchangers have shown that this phenomena could significantly affect the efficiency of a heat exchanger operation. Analyses of a non-uniform gas inlet to a cross-flow finned heat exchangers are conducted by means of numerical simulations and experiments for over ten years at the Institute of Thermal Technology of the Silesian University of Technology. This paper summarizes works aimed in evaluation of different methods of mitigating a negative impact of the non-uniform gas inflow on a heat exchanger performance.
