Heat exchanger

Our accurate simulation capabilities are conducive to the efficient use of heat exchangers!

Increasing efficiency and revising the dimensioning

In addition to the standardized heating design of heat exchangers, CFD can be used to compute the targeted homogeneous inlet flow, the flow distribution, the pressure loss and the heat transfer (using CHT, Conjugate Heat Transfer).

For example, if higher temperature gradients are to be expected, then FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) can be used to compute temperatures, tension loads and stress inside heat exchanger constructions.

FAQ

Common questions

If heat exchanger designs are not sufficient according to the VDI Heat Atlas, why should CFD also be carried out?

In complex geometries, CFD can be used to determine the heat transfers and the heat transfer coefficients for your design tool; you do not need to carry out any elaborate experiments for this.

In addition, such effects can be taken into account in the case of an uneven inflow. Less large safety factors result in a smaller and cheaper apparatus.

Is it necessary to invest in a CFD study?

If you have a series product that is oversized, you can quickly save costs with a more precise CFD design and make a targeted investment.
