Design and Analysis of Micro Plastic Heat Exchanger

Article Preview

Abstract:

The heat exchanger is widely used in energy engineering, chemical engineering etc. And with development of the MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), many researchers are interested in the micro heat exchanger. In this paper, the micro plastic heat exchangers are manufactured by modified PPS. A heat exchanger with polypropylene (PP) is also made for comparison. Simulation and experiment are carried out to determine the thermal performance of the micro plastic heat exchangers. The experimental results are compared with that of simulation. The results show the performance of the micro plastic heat exchanger is very close to that of metal heat exchanger with the same dimension.
