Establishment and verification of a two-phase flow distribution model in a parallel flow heat exchanger
The flow mal-distribution of the refrigerant will have great influence on the heat transfer performance of parallel flow heat exchanger. This paper presents a new two-phase flow distribution model for parallel flow heat exchanger based on the combination of T-junction model of T-tube
mass equation and pressure equation along the flow path as well as an appropriate algorithm to predict the distribution of parallel flow heat exchanger. The validity of the model is verified by the experimental data. It can provide a reasonable basis for the design of parallel flow heat exchanger. This paper calculates and analyzes the effect of quality and mass flow rate on the distribution of parallel flow heat exchanger. The results show that the quality has little influence on the distribution
and the flow distribution can be improved by increasing mass flow rate.
