EFFECT OF LOUVER ANGLE ON PERFORMANCE OF PARALLEL FLOW HEAT EXCHANGER

ABSTRACT
In order to study the influence of the louver angle on the heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of a parallel flow heat exchanger, this paper establishes five calculation models including a uniform angle model and four variable angle models for comparing and analyzing the temperature, velocity, and pressure fields, and evaluates their comprehensive performance. The results show that the suitable choice of the v louver angle can lead to an optimal heat transfer effect and a best comprehensive performance.
