Abstract

The performance of various type plate exchangers with different chevron angle, dimple size and arrangement was analysed by using Ansys v13.0. Heat transfer performance, pressure drop and flow patten of plate heat exchanger were investigated according to mass flow ratio investigated and compared. As a result, the $60^{\circ}$-chevron type plate heat exchanger showed the highest heat transfer performance but pressure drop was relatively high. The efficiency of $45^{\circ}$-chevron type plate heat exchanger showed the best performance in considering of heat transfer performance and pressure drop simultaneously. Among dimple type plate heat exchangers, the highest heat transfer performance was shown in a dim_zigzag type plate heat exchanger but pressure drop was very high. Besides, the dim_upsize plate heat exchanger showed very low pressure drop.
