Abstract
In this study, the performance of a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) and welded plate heat exchanger (WPHE) was measured experimentally. The pass numbers of the STHE was changed by 1, 2 and 4. As a result, the WPHE showed 2.1 times higher heat exchange capacity than that of the STHE. In case of pressure drop, the STHE with 1 and 2 pass number has a lower pressure drop than the WPHE, while the STHE with 4 pass presented higher pressure drop than the WPHE. The performance index considering the heat exchange capacity and pump consumption power, showed in oder of STHEPass1 > STHEPass2 > W PHE > STHEPass4 under the same flow rate. Therefore, when the WPHE was designed optimally under same operating condition with STHE, the maintenance fee and space can be reduced effectively by using the WPHE.
