The Design of Plate Heat Exchanger Prototype Test Bench Based on Similarity Theory

Abstract

The new plate heat exchanger with modular design is easy to realize the large-scale. It also has the performance advantage of low pressure drop and anticorrosion. The oil refining, chemical industry, steel and iron, metallurgy, electric power industries will be the future main application of it. But the designed engine for product is too big, the production cost is high, the production time is long, and it does not suit for processing experiment. Based on the above product structure and similarity theory, the paper designs another small type of reflux plate heat exchanger and the corresponding bench for testing.
