Abstract
This chapter provides the working principles of classical types of two-phase heat exchangers and heat exchangers based on microchannel technology. The applications of these exchangers in the power and process industry as well as in air conditioning and electronic cooling are discussed. The classifications of basic types of liquid-to-vapor phase-change exchangers depending on flow arrangement and construction features are presented. The inclusion of the latent heat of evaporation in thermal energy transfer improves the transport capacity and intensifies the heat transfer. The approach for thermal analysis of the condensers and evaporators based on overall heat transfer coefficient and log-mean temperature difference is discussed. The literature on heat transfer coefficient prediction for liquid-to-vapor phase-change exchangers is reviewed and experimentally proved correlations are presented. The general constructions of tubular, plate-type, and extending surface two-phase heat exchangers for various applications are discussed. Also, the working principles of microchannel heat exchangers in flow boiling and condensing modes are defined in association with benefits using these systems for air conditioning and electronic cooling.
