Analysis of the Heat Exchanger in the Cogeneration Unit
Original language description
This white paper presents a computational study of heat transfer and fluid flow within the heat exchanger of the cogeneration (CHP) unit. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the analysis compares the thermal and hydraulic performance of two flow configurations – parallel flow and counterflow configuration – for exhaust gases and the working fluid coolant R1233zd(E). The objective was to determine the influence of flow direction on heat exchanger efficiency and to identify potential design optimisations. Results show negligible differences in thermal power output between the two mentioned configurations (3.4 kW), indicating that flow orientation has a limited impact under the current design.
