Performance Analysis on Compact Heat Exchanger

Abstract

Compact heat exchangers are one of the most critical components of many cryogenic components; they are characterized by a high heat transfer surface area per unit volume of the exchanger. The heat exchangers having surface area density (β) greater than 700 m2/m3 in either one or more sides of two-stream or multi-stream heat exchanger is called as a compact heat exchanger. A compact heat exchanger which is widely used in automobile, cryogenics, space application and chemical industries. This paper presents the study of CH4 type compact heat exchanger is designed to get that parameter like heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness, and to reduce the size of the heat exchanger as compact as possible.all this Experimentation we can conclude that the size of Heat exchanger can be effectively reduced. The proposed Geometry of CH4 Type Compact Heat Exchanger is fabricated and tested. The compact heat exchanger is a water to water, or liquid to liquid compact size heat exchanger, which is very compact in size as compare to the existing CHE.
