Abstract
A software for the dimensioning and simulation of flanged heat exchangers is presented. This software divides the exchanger into pipe sections in which local values of physical properties of fluids and thermal exchange coefficients are used, and for which individual thermal-hydraulic performances are determined. CYRANO can be used for condensers, evaporators and monophase exchanges, with refrigerants like water, R22, R134a and R32/R125/R134a mixtures. The software can be used also in the case of specified complex circuits, equipped with smooth or grooved pipes and with smooth continuous, corrugated or slatted flanges with non-homogeneous air temperature and velocity distributions. The validation of CYRANO was performed on 7 exchangers with and without humidity condensation on the flanges. Comparisons with test results show that the average of errors in exchanged powers is of about 5%, and of about 30% in the case of internal pressure drops. Some simulations of exchangers with HFC mixtures are also presented. (J.S.) 34 refs.
