TechTip: Modeling Plate-and-Shell Heat Exchangers using Xphe

July 29, 2020

This webinar briefly reviews HTRI research on plate-and-frame heat exchangers and plate-and-shell heat exchangers (PSHEs), focusing on the geometry differences and similarities between the two types. Xphe® is a module in Xchanger Suite® for modeling plate-and-frame heat exchangers. Using an example case, we will discuss how to use Xphe to model a PSHE. Additionally, we identify the key...

Advancing HTRI's plate heat exchanger technology

October 16, 2018

LiDong Huang, Principal Engineer, Experimental Research Many different designs of plate heat exchangers (PHEs) exist for different heat transfer processes. Most PHEs are formed by corrugated plates, which are often spaced by rubber sealing gaskets or welded together to form hot and cold channels. Plate shapes and fluid distribution vary for...

PHE-18-TR Shellside Boiling Tests in Plate-and-shell Heat Exchanger

July 10, 2018

HTRI collected flow boiling data using a plate-and-shell heat exchanger (PSHE) provided by Vahterus Oy. In the exchanger, steam condensed on the plate side, and process fluids—pure n-pentane and a mixture of n-pentane and p-xylene—boiled on the shell side. This report discusses the data and analysis, including evaluations using Xphe® 7.3.1....

PHE-17-TR Liquid-phase and Boiling Testing in a Welded Plate Heat Exchanger

March 07, 2018

HTRI conducted liquid-phase and phase-change experiments in a welded plate heat exchanger (WPHE) provided by Hisaka Works, Ltd. With the test plate pack installed vertically, cold fluid flowed horizontally, and steam condensed downward. We conducted single-phase and boiling tests using p-xylene as the test fluid, as well as boiling tests using...

Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics

October 12, 2017

Kevin J. Farrell, Principal Engineer, Computational Simulation & Validation When heat exchangers perform ineffectively, engineers often turn to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for insight. In fact, most companies use CFD in this reactive manner to validate and troubleshoot their operating exchangers. But innovative companies use CFD proactively to explore designs and...

Research Update: Non-Newtonian Flows in Heat Exchangers

January 16, 2017

HTRI has begun a research program dedicated to non-Newtonian flows. In order to discuss the plans for this research program, this webinar reviews the following items: the definition non-Newtonian fluids, the use apparent viscosity, focusing on power law fluids, how non-Newtonian flows affect pressure drop and heat transfer in heat exchangers...
