Seeking help regarding the selection of plates for plate-and-shell heat exchangers
Thread Content
I have been researching how to design a heat exchanger recently, and I would like to ask the experts at Haichuan: We already know the heat load of the heat exchanger. Assuming we know its overall heat transfer coefficient, how can we determine the total heat exchange area of the heat exchanger? After determining the heat exchange area, how to select the heat exchange plates? Are there reference books that provide data? I uploaded the parameters of one type of heat exchange plate in a document; are there any others elsewhere? The heat exchanger I designed is quite large, and these heat exchange plates seem a bit small. I would appreciate some advice from the experts here.
Mm, designed it myself; didn’t say anything
Regarding the plates, you can find out by contacting suppliers such as Alfa Laval or Centra, and look up their contact information online
