Definitions

  • a heat exchanger includes inlet structures that distribute flow from a circular conduit into one or many smaller flow passages.
  • High initial total pressure with the inlet manifold is desired to be maintained, with minimal loss, through the heat exchanger and out the exit manifold.
  • Flow Velocity within the relative large spaces provided by the manifold are relatively low compared to airflow velocities desired within the smaller flow passages where thermal transfer occurs.
  • Higher airflow velocities through the flow passages increase thermal transfer efficiencies.
  • Pressure losses between the conduit, manifold and the smaller flow passages can be substantial and reduce airflow velocity and thereby thermal transfer efficiencies.
  • the airflow expands into the larger space that generates further pressure losses.
  • the combined pressure losses at the inlet and the outlet reduce thermal efficiencies and require structurally larger heat exchangers to accommodate increased demands.
