Краткое описание
A method is proposed for studying the distribution of fluid flow inside modular channels of plate heat exchangers by using infrared thermography. Advantages and drawbacks of the method compared to the ones heretofore employed are reported. Theoretical and practical artifices employed to attain good precision and to overcome drawbacks of the method are shown. Tests on commercial models of plates have been carried out as illustration of the proposed method.
