OBJECTIVE
• TO CONSTRUCT A MODEL FOR A PARALLEL FLOW PLATE
HEAT EXCHANGER.
• TO ANALYZE THE FLOWRATE, RATE OF HEAT EXCHANGER,

AVERAGE HEAT TRANSFER, LOSE AND GAIN OF HEAT IN THE
FLUID.
• TO COMPARE AND CONCLUDE BETWEEN THE CALCULATED

VALUE AND THE EXPERIMENTAL VALUE OF THE ANALYSIS.

Background
A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat
between two fluids.
 Invention 1923 by Dr. Richard Seligman.
 The heat exchanger is a piece of equipment build for efficient heat transfer from on medium
to another.
 They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants,
chemical plants, natural gas processing and sewage treatment.
 In heat exchangers, they are usually no external heat work interactions.

Background
Types of Plate Heat Exchangers
Gasketed plate heat exchangers is a heat exchanger that uses high quality gaskets to seal plates
together so that there is no leakage.
Brazed Plate heat exchangers uses stainless steal as plates and copper brazing fro sealing
therefore they are highly resistant to corrosion.
4
Background
Welded plate heat exchangers use gasket, however, the plates are welded together. They are
extremely durable, and are ideal for transferring fluids with high temperatures or corrosive
materials.
Semi-Welded plate heat exchangers uses a combination of welded and gasket plate heat
exchangers. Two plates are welded together and then gasket to another. Semi-Welded heat
exchangers are perfect for transferring expensive materials since they have a very low risk of
fluid loss.

INTRODUCTION
• GREATER HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT IS PRODUCED FROM

chevrons FOR A GIVEN INCREASE IN PRESSURE DROP AND ARE MORE
COMMONLY USED THAN INTERMITTING CORRUGATIONS.
• TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS NAMELY amount of heat transfer AND

pressure drop HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED SUCH THAT AMOUNT OF HEAT
TRANSFER NEEDS TO BE INCREASED AND PRESSURE DROPS NEED TO BE
DECREASED.

MATERIAL LIST
• ALUMINUM METAL SHEET 1 × 2M
• SOLDERING ROD 1M
• BRAZING GLUE CAN
• 10MM DIAMETER ALUMINUM PIPE 0.2M

CONSTRUCTION AND PRODUCRE
• FIRSTLY CUT THE ALUMINUM PLATE OF DEMENSION OF
210MM*300MM, 3 PIECES.
• SECONDLY CUT THE ALUMINUM PLATE FOR THE FRONT

AND THE BACK WARD PLATE 210MM* 40MM, 2 PIECES.
• THRIDLY CUT THE ALUMINUM PLATE FOR THE TOP AND

BOTTOM PLATES 300MM * 40MM, 2PIECES.
• TO ADD ON DRILL THE INLET AND THE OUTLET HOLES BY

THE EACH DIAMETER OF 10MM.
• FINALLY THE ASSEMBLING WILL BE DONE AND ALSO WE

WILL BE USING THE SOLDERING MACHINE TO SOLDER.

METHODOLOGY
PARALLEL FLOW.
INLET HOT AND COLD WATER FLOW IS CONSTANT VOLUME FLOW RATE WITH RESPECT TO TIME
(M^3 /S)
THE TEMPERATURE IS TO BE RECORDED AT THE INLET AND THE OUTLET OF BOTH FLUID.
THE VOLUME FLOW RATE IS TO BE MEASURED WITH RESPECT TO TIME IN 1 LITER OF VOLUME FLOW
RATE.

CONCLUSION
PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER ARE AVAILABLE IN A WIDE VARIETY OF CONFIGURATION TO SUIT MOST
PROCESSES HEAT TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS. LOWER CAPITAL COST, REDUCED PLANT SIZE, AND
INCREASED SAFETY ARE TYPICAL OF THE BENEFITS ARISING FROM THE USE OF PLATE HEAT
EXCHANGER. PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS CAN REPLACE SOME NORMAL SIZE HEAT EXCHANGERS
BRINGING ADVANTAGES AND PERFORMANCES.
