Abstract

The experimental study and analysis of a novel multi-media plate heat exchanger were performed in this paper. This novel multi-media plate heat exchanger was self-developed during the process of the investigation and design of the alpha magnetic spectrometer (AMS) thermal system. The plate of this kind of novel plate heat exchanger is formed by discontinuous structure wave consisting of convex sphere and concave sphere, its heat transfer performance is better than that of the BR1 chevron plate heat exchanger, and its resistance characteristics are superior to those of the normally used 60-degree plate heat exchanger. Furthermore, the mechanism analysis of heat transfer enhancement shows that the spherical wave structure can reduce the local field synergy angle, so as to improve the field synergy degree of velocity vector and temperature gradient vector.
