Abstract. The paper presents heat transfer modelling in a plate heat<br />

exchanger. Inside the heat exchanger, heat is transferred from the flue gas (of a<br />

hot water boiler) to air. The purpose of the paper is to analyse variation of the air<br />

parameters when air passes one channel of the heat exchanger.<br />

Key words: heat transfer, plate heat exchanger, modelling.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

Heat exchangers are devices used for heat transfer between two or more<br />

fluids with different temperature levels. They are essential elements for many<br />

thermal systems. For example, they make possible the heat transfer from a<br />

primary to a secondary circuit in a solar thermal system.<br />

Due to their great advantages (intensive heat transfer, low price, high heat<br />

recovery efficiency, compactness, large heat transfer surface, reduced pressure<br />

loss, easy operation) plate heat exchangers are widely spread and studied<br />

(Durmus et al., 2009), (Ghosh et al., 2006), (Chittur et al., 1990).<br />

The purpose of the developed study is the analysis of the heat transfer<br />

from flue gas (delivered by a hot water boiler) to air in a plate heat exchanger.<br />

The first stage of the study was the CFD analysis of the heat exchanger while<br />
