Pure counter-current flow, high overall heat transfer coefficient, and low fouling resistance render the PHE a compact condenser with features of high interest in heat recovery and overall efficiency ...

Plate heat exchangers (PHEs) have been installed in larger heat pump systems and refrigeration systems since the 1980s. Tech-nicians who deal with these systems need to know some specific details of ...

Furthermore, the patent application details the flow path of the cooling fluid through different flat tube groups in a specific sequence, with each group having an almost identical flow cross-section.
