Reducing the Flow Distribution in Central-Type Compact Parallel Flow Heat Exchangers Having Optimized Tube Structure

Compact parallel manifolds are widely applied in flow heat exchangers. However, the flow maldistribution exists in the parallel manifolds when the flow is distributed in the header, because of the pressure maldistribution. For a heat exchanger, the uniformity of the flow distribution greatly influen...
