| Abstract | There is a need in the heat exchanger industry for accurate guidelines in the heat exchanger design phase. These guidelines can be used to predict the thermal/fluid performance of the heat exchanger that will be manufactured. Accurate prediction for the heat exchanger performance will avoid the cost needed for performing tests in terms of facility and man-hour costs on the heat exchanger prototype before the mass production. Therefore, this paper is devoted to study the thermal/fluid properties on typical compact heat exchanger, which can be found in many HVAC industrial applications. We used the CFD tool to study several factors that can affect the heat exchangers performance, such as the fins spacing and flow inlet velocity conditions. For each of these factors, we estimated the heat transfer rate and the pressure drop in the heat exchanger with the aim of providing an optimum heat exchanger configuration and flow inlet conditions that will provide an enhanced heat transfer rate and reduced amount of pressure drop. |
