Fluid flow in plate heat exchanger
To understand the fluid flow in the plate heat exchanger, we must first understand the flow of fluid in the plate and the plate heat exchanger. The distribution of fluid in the plate is shown in fig.. The flow pattern of the fluid in the plate is divided into diagonal flow and unilateral flow, as shown in the figure. At present, the mainstream brands of plate heat exchangers are mostly single side flow, and the advantage of single side flow is that there are fewer kinds of spare parts. Easy installation and maintenance. Factory layout is easy.
