Abstract

The widespread use of plate heat exchangers as elements of refrigeration systems - evaporators, condensers - began during the energy crisis in 1976. By this period, as a result of laboratory studies carried out by Alfa Laval, correlation relationships were obtained that made it possible to reliably describe heat transfer and hydraulic characteristics of a two-phase flow in the channels of the heat exchanger. Already in 1984, plate heat exchangers began to be used in heat pumps and refrigeration systems.
