Doing a graduation project on heat exchangers
Thread Content
Which type of heat exchanger is easier to design? I graduated in power machinery, but unfortunately my teacher specialized in heat transfer. Help!
. . The teacher asked me to use a plate heat exchanger, still at 800°C. It seems that there are very few plate heat exchangers capable of withstanding such high temperatures available on the market
The teacher asked me to use a plate heat exchanger, so the thermodynamic calculations are now complete, but I’m having trouble with the selection – there aren’t many plate heat exchangers available for operating temperatures of 800°C.

Indeed, selecting materials is also quite troublesome
It is said that fully welded plate heat exchangers can reach 1000°C, though that’s what is claimed. . . I really haven’t seen plate exchangers used at such high temperatures; it’s quite dangerous. . . I think even your teachers might not be able to design it themselves; it’s a bit much to ask.
Choose a BR70 model with a low temperature rating, and design the materials as high-temperature resistant stainless steel 309s; it should be a fully welded structure. I’m not sure if this is feasible, but it’s just a design concept – there’s no need to actually build it
