Abstract
The plate Fin-and-tube heat exchangers are one of the most common types of heat exchangers used in various industrial applications such as heating, cooling, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, oil refineries, natural gas processing, industry aerospace, and wastewater treatment. It is very important to reduce the size and weight and improve the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. Finned and tubular heat exchangers with different geometries and orientations are used to improve thermal performance. This paper presents the Plate fin heat exchanger and types of Plate Fin Heat Exchanger Surfaces.
Highlights
A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger design where plates and finned chambers are used to transfer heat between fluids
Counter flow, parallel flow are possible in different application if the fins are designed well, the plate-fin heat exchanger works in a perfect condition in a counter cross arrangement.[1]-[3]
The results show that the relationship between the pitch of the slats, the thickness of the walls of the slats, the number of slats, the depth of flow and the geometry of the tube are the main factors of heat transfer
Summary
A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger design where plates and finned chambers are used to transfer heat between fluids. It is often categorized as a compact heat exchanger because of its high heat transfer surface area to volume ratio. In a plate-fin heat exchanger, the fins can be rearranged. Counter flow, parallel flow are possible in different application if the fins are designed well, the plate-fin heat exchanger works in a perfect condition in a counter cross arrangement.[1]-[3]
