Abstract-Plate heat exchanger is a kind of compact heat exchanger, which has high heat transfer coefficient and compact structure and is easy to wash.In recent years it has been widely used, but also has the disadvantages of big flow resistance.In this paper the numerical simulation is performed by using the CFD soft FLUENT[1]. A 3D geometric model is established and whose mesh is generated. The fields of the temperature, pressure and velocity in the computational domain are simulated. And the effect of the corrugation inclination angle on the heat transfer and flow is analyzed.From the numerical simulation,we can get some conclusions about the corrugation inclination angle .Along with the corrugation inclination angle increases, heat exchange gets better and plate pressure drop decreases. Corrugated plate with inclination angle(70°) is good for the cleaning effect of the high-speed turbulence which can effectively reduce the deposited dirt. If we consider the heat transfer and the resistance, inclination angle should be from 60°to 70°.By this conclusions ,we can get a best inclination angle to design the plate heat exchanger.

“…The obtained results of numerical simulations confirm that application of plates with corrugated surface at heat exchangers is important. The corrugated profile of a thermal plate and fluid flow rate affect a turbulent fluid flow and mixing intensity (de Bonis and Ruocco 2009;Grijspeerdt et al 2003). High turbulence in the PHE leads to: enhanced heat transfer, low fouling rate, and reduced heat transfer area.…”

The aim of this work was to present the numerical simulation results determining the distributions of flow velocity and pressure in the individual channels of a plate heat exchanger. The simulations have been conducted by means of the Finite Volume Method (FVM) of numerical computation using the ANSYS CFX software. The computational model constituted spaces between 10 flat, straight flow type plates of the heat exchanger. The obtained results of numerical simulations confirm the presence of inhomogeneous flow conditions in the neighbouring channels between the plates. The computations enabled to point out the regions on the plates, in which insufficient flow can result in problems with their cleaning. The results of this work constitute the first part of a research leading to an assessment of cleaning conditions in plate heat exchangers.

“…They pointed out that there is a strong relationship between the trend in the fluid system and the plate design. Grijspeerdt et al (2003) examined the two-and three-dimensional behaviors of fluids for two grooved plates in detail by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in the plate heat exchangers used during milk production application. They have shown that fluid behavior calculations are a very important aid for optimum plate heat exchanger design.…”

A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchangers that provides more surface area for heat transfer between two fluids. Plate heat exchangers are widely used for heat transfer applications in the industry. In addition, they are now widely used in many applications such as food processing, chemical reaction processes, heating and cooling applications in sectors such as petroleum. However, the design of plate heat exchangers is complicated by the large number of variables and geometries that affect its performance. A better heat exchanger design is to achieve a high heat transfer rate at low pumping power with low cost. In this study, the focus is on the research and development efforts of different plate materials, various fluid types, their flow regimes and the plate grooving angles on plate heat exchanger performance. For this purpose, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used. The results show that the heat efficiency is the best performing heat exchanger that can be designed as parallel-and counter-flow, geothermal fluid, titanium plate and 60° groove angle from the point of view.
