ABSTRACT:
A problem with plate heat exchangers, particularly with a large number of plates arranged in Z formation is the maldistribution which give rise to partial starvation of the flow spaces (3) nearer the inlet end. It is intended to combat this by the provision of a distributor insert (9) in the inlet duct and, if necessary, a collector insert (20) in the discharge duct. The distributor (9) is intended to encourage flow into the flow spaces nearer the inlet end and to inhibit flow into those remote from the inlet end. The collector (20) is intended to increase the local flow velocity near the inlet end to reduce the pressure gradient due to the momentum effect.
Refer to FIG. 2.
