Novel Multi-Stream Plate Exchanger under High Pressure-Structure and its Design Method

Abstract:

The general characteristic of current plate heat exchangers is first summarized in this paper. A new plate exchanger of multi-stream under high pressure is proposed, which is composed of the plates with opening the gyroidal flow-trough along the radius and the shell, it has some advantages, such as simple structure, high efficiency and available under high pressure. We introduce the structure of the plate, the shell and the slotting types. In addition, the process calculation method of heat-transfer is given and the strength calculation method for the key components of the novel exchanger is also presented. According to the stress analysis to the plate wall with ANSYS software, we have proved the reliability of the calculation method.
