Abstract

The Heat exchanger is the most important and widely applicable device in this sector so it is also area where these innovations are carried out regularly. Plate & Tube type Heat Exchangers have a number of applications in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical, power, and dairy, food & beverage industry. Recently, plate heat exchangers are commonly used when compared to other types of heat exchangers such as shell and tube type in heat transfer processes because of their compactness, ease of production, sensitivity, easy care after set-up and efficiency. The temperature approach in plate heat exchangers may be as low as 1 °C whereas shell and tube heat exchangers require an approach of 5 °C or more. However, plate and tube heat exchangers have inherent shortcomings such as the contact resistance between fins and tubes, the existence of a low performance region behind tubes, etc. The plate and tube heat exchangers which are in use are flat type if we incline the plates at some angle to the pipes we can get various data by experimenting the device at various angles. This data can be analyzed and we can have conclusion about its efficiency and effectiveness can be calculated.
