This paper presents a life prediction method based on several accelerated life test data for brazed plate heat exchanger. For this purpose, accelerated life tests were performed with pressure cycle and fluid temperature as accelerating stresses. Statistical analyses of the two test data sets and their combination were conducted. As a result, the shape parameter of Weibull distribution, the accelerating index of pressure cycle, the activation energy, and the life cycles under normal use conditions for the brazed plate heat exchanger were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
