Experiments on the condensation heat transfer and pressure drop in the brazed type plate heat exchangers are performed with refrigerants R410A/R22. To investigate the geometric effect, plate heat exchangers with the same pitch and height but different $45^{\circ},\;35^{\circ}and\;20^{\circ}$ chevron angles are used. Varying the mass flux of refrigerant (13~34 kg/$m^2$), the condensing temperatures ($20^{\circ}C\;and\;30^{\circ}C$) and the vapor quality (from 0.9 to 0.15) at the same constant heat flux ($5kW/m^2$), the condensation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops are measured. The heat transfer coefficients decrease slightly with increasing the condensing temperature at a given mass flux in all plate heat exchangers. The pressure drop increases with increasing the mass flux and the quality and decreasing the condensing temperature and the chevron angle.

본 연구에서는 판형열교환기를 적용한 청수제조장치의 성능에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 판형열교환기는 자체의 높은 열전달 성능과 컴펙트한 장점으로 하여 산업에서 점차 널리 사용되고 있다. 또한 사용, 유지보수가 다른 종류의 열교환기에 비하여 편리하여 유연성 있게 사용할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 세브론 각도가 60도인 전열판을 사용하였으며 이젝터의 작동으로 열교환기를 장착하고 있는 탱크내부에 진공압력을 유지함으로서 내부유체가 $51^{\circ}C{\sim}57^{\circ}C$에서 증발현상이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 수치해석적 방법을 통하여 복잡하며 좁은 세브론전열판으로 이루어진 유로내의 유동특성을 파악할 수 있었다.

Plate heat exchangers have been widely used in many industrial applications because of their compactness and high efficiency. Even though plate heat exchangers have been investigated extensively, studies on the effects of geometric parameters other than the chevron angle are very limited in the open literature. In this study, the effects of the chevron angle, corrugation length, corrugation depth, and the number of plates on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of plate heat exchangers were investigated experimentally. Based on the experimental results, empirical correlations were proposed. More than 95% of the predictions made based on the correlations had relative deviations of less than ${\pm}10%$ when compared with the measured data.

Thermal energy performance of a brazed plate heat exchanger has been evaluated experimentally. The effects of plate pitch as well as chevron angle of a plate heat exchanger on the heat transfer rate and pressure drop have been investigated in the wide range as mass flow rates in detail. This problem is of particular interest in the design of a plate heat exchanger. The results obtained indicate that both heat transfer rate and pressure drop are increased as mass flow rate is increased, as expected. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased with a decrease in the plate pitch while the heat transfer is decreased with a decrease in the chevron angle. Friction factor correlations are suggested based on the measured pressure drop and effectiveness of plate heat exchangers are also compared.

Experiments on the evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop in the brazed type plate heat exchangers were performed using refrigerants R410A and R22. To investigate the geometric effect, plate heat exchangers with the same pitch and height but different 45$^{\circ}$, 35$^{\circ}$and 20$^{\circ}$chevron angles are used. Tests were conducted fur the ranges of the mass flux of refrigerant from 13 kg/m$^2$s to 34 kg/m$^2$s, the evaporation temperatures of 15$^{\circ}C$, 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 5$^{\circ}C$, vapor quality from 0.15 to 0.95 and the heat flux from 2.5 kW/m$^2$to 8.5 kW/m$^2$. The evaporation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops were measured. Most of flow patterns are in the chum flow regime and become close to the annular flow for increasing the mass flux and the vapor quality. The heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing the evaporation temperature at a given mass flux in all plate heat exchangers. Also, the pressure drop increases with increasing the mass flux and the quality and decreasing the evaporation temperature and the chevron angle.
