Abstract
In the present paper, exergy loss analysis of newly designed compact heat exchanger (CHE) was experimentally investigated. For this reason, experimental system used for experimental analysis of the newly designed CHE and brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) were designed and constructed. Thermodynamic analysis of newly designed CHE and BPHE were also investigated. The experimental results of the CHE and BPHE are compared. Exergy loss values are calculated for each heat exchanger type. The experimental results show that similar exergy loss values were obtained. The highest exergy loss value for newly designed CHE has been obtained as about 7.6Â kW, while the least exergy loss value has been obtained as about 4.65Â kW for the same heat exchanger. The results of the experiments are compared and presented graphically.
