Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the preliminary thermal performance of a plastic coated aluminum material(PCAM) plate heat exchanger. Plastic coating which has high corrosion resistivity and thermal conductivity can overcome corrosive weakness of aluminum material. The heat exchangers are modeled for STS316, Titanium and PCAM materials, and analyzed numerically using HTRI and ANSYS Fluent CFD softwares. The results show that PCAM heat exchanger is superior in heat transfer performance compared to existing materials. For chevron angle of $60^{\circ}$, thermal performances of Titanium and PCAM are higher by 12.2% and 48.9% when compared to STS316, respectively.
