PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18582345 titled 'PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER
The abstract describes a patent application for a plate heat exchanger that consists of two plates stacked on top of each other. The first plate has a region for the first fluid to flow through, an inlet for the first fluid, and a discharge portion. The second plate has a region for the second fluid to flow through, an inlet for the second fluid, and a discharge portion. The first plate also includes a flat portion surrounding the first inlet, which has an asymmetrical shape.
- The plate heat exchanger includes two plates stacked on top of each other.
- The first plate has a region for the first fluid to flow through, an inlet, and a discharge portion.
- The second plate has a region for the second fluid to flow through, an inlet, and a discharge portion.
- The first plate has a flat portion surrounding the first inlet with an asymmetrical shape.
Potential Applications: - Industrial heat transfer systems - HVAC systems - Refrigeration systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat transfer between fluids - Compact design for space-saving
Benefits: - Improved heat transfer efficiency - Space-saving design - Enhanced performance in various applications
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Plate Heat Exchanger for Enhanced Heat Transfer Efficiency" This technology can be used in various industries such as HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial processes to improve heat transfer efficiency and save space.
Questions about Plate Heat Exchangers: 1. How does the asymmetrical shape of the flat portion surrounding the inlet improve the performance of the heat exchanger? The asymmetrical shape helps optimize the flow of the first fluid, enhancing heat transfer efficiency.
2. What are the key differences between this plate heat exchanger design and traditional designs? This design offers a more compact and efficient solution for heat transfer compared to traditional plate heat exchangers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A plate heat exchanger includes a first plate having a first heat transfer region through which a first fluid flows, a first inlet into which the first fluid flows, and a first discharge portion through which the first fluid is discharged, and a second plate having a second heat transfer region through which a second fluid flows, a second inlet into which the second fluid flows, and a second discharge portion through which the second fluid is discharged, and stacked on the first plate. The first plate further includes a flat portion disposed to surround the first inlet portion, and the flat portion has an asymmetrical shape with respect to the first inlet.
