摘要
The present work deals with the manufacturing and characterization of the thermal behaviour of an epoxy resin-based Plate Coil Heat Exchanger (PHE). The studied PHE prototypes are square-shaped whose sides have a length of 80 mm. Banana leaf fibres have been used to reinforce mechanically the epoxy after curing. The final objective is to investigate an improvement in PHE thermal performances. For this purpose, Silicon Carbide (SiC) powder was used as an additive to the epoxy resin with a constant mass fraction for one prototype to improve the thermal conductivity. The heat exchange performances of PHE prototypes have been investigated under radiant heat flux applied to PHE's upper face, while low-temperature water was circulated through the PHE U-pipe. Temperature measurements to characterize the thermal behaviour were performed using K-type thermocouples. IR camera was also used to map the temperature distribution on the heated upper surface. The results obtained showed that SiC powder improves the PHE heat release. It was also found that an optimal mass fraction of SiC powder can be determined to maximize heat transfer phenomena.
