Numerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer of Heat Exchanger with Louver Baffles

Abstract:

This paper presents a heat exchanger of louver baffle, the establishment of a three-dimensional model, research by numerical simulation of flow and heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger baffles different louver angle, and analyzes its local temperature, and evaluated for its overall performance. The results show that louver baffle heat exchanger avoids the existence of traditional segmental baffle heat exchanger problem after baffle local flow dead zone; compared with conventional segmental baffle heat exchanger, louver baffle heat exchanger greatly reduces the heat exchanger shell side pressure drop; louver baffle heat exchanger in the unit pressure drop coefficients are higher than the segmental baffle heat exchanger, and with the baffle plate angle increases, with significant energy savings.
