Abstract

Abstract: As an efficient heat exchanger, the plate heat exchanger(PHE) is applied more and more widely. Due to the complex mechanism of phase change convective heat transfer, the design of phase-change PHE is always a difficult problem. In this paper, the characteristics of condensation heat transfer and boiling heat transfer were summarized, the latest research progress of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental test of phase change heat transfer in plate heat exchangers were reviewed, and some published experimental correlations were listed. The influence of the operating parameters on heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop of the plate heat exchangers was discussed. The results of some experimental correlations were compared and analyzed, and some different conclusions were also reviewed. In addition, the application of computer simulation technology in this research field was also introduced. Finally, the main problems and the future development directions in the study of phase change heat transfer in plate heat exchangers were pointed out.
