Abstract: |
Experiments to measure and compare the convection heat transfer coefficient in gasket plate heat exchangers were performed with stainless steel plates and copper coated stainless steel plates. Gasket plate heat exchangers with corrugated structure was used to increase the heat transfer rate by increased exposure area and reduce fouling by creating turbulence flow between the plates. Here the thermal conductivity of copper is considered as a main concept to increase the heat transfer rate. By combining the effect of copper and corrugated structure, efficient heat transfer rate can be achieved in copper coated stainless steel plate when compared to stainless steel plate alone. |
