Tiivistelmä
This research gives an overview of the types of plate heat exchangers used in the manufacturing and process industry. The main purpose of this study was to achieve an efficient method used in the construction and design of plate heat exchangers, which is capable of transferring heat from the hot fluid stream to the cold fluid stream by effectively achieving the required heat transfer area in the process.
To achieve these several iterations must be made before a final acceptable assembly drawing and procedure is accepted since the construction of a plate heat exchanger depends on many factors such as the type of frame, plate dimension, gaskets, flow, pressure drop, plate arrangement and piping arrangement. The system of the approach presented in this study can be used as a general guide during construction and design of plate heat exchangers.
This research employs the use of simulation and iteration methods to compare the accuracy of the result obtained during the design of the equipment, which takes into consideration the thermal hydraulic parameters of the fluid streams.
