“…This short review of available results concerning the impact of media flow maldistribution in heat exchangers shows that this problem could be significant. The results obtained by the authors and presented partially in (Bury et al, 2009;Bury, 2012) are comparable with outcomes of other researchers. There is however still some gap in experimental works concerning improvement of efficiency of heat exchangers operating in non-uniform media flow conditions.…”

“…The researches realized in the next steps, also for other heat exchangers of the same type, allowed for validation of the HEWES code and have confirmed initial observations: non-uniform flow of media may significantly affect the heat exchanger efficiencythe deterioration of the total heat flow rate transported in the device have reached up to 20%, while average values are about 15% for analyzed cases (Bury, 2012).…”

The up to date investigations concerning media flow maldistribution in heat exchangers have shown that this phenomena could significantly affect the efficiency of heat exchanger operation. Analyses of a non-uniform gas inlet to 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 heat exchanger performance.
