[0002] Plate-fin heat exchangers, due to their compact structure, lightweight design, and high heat transfer efficiency, are widely used in industries such as refrigeration, petrochemicals, air separation, aerospace, power machinery, and superconductors. They are recognized as a new type of efficient heat exchanger. Analyzing the temperature field distribution during the heating process through simulation of a plate-fin heat exchanger is crucial for studying its heating methods and parameters.

[0003] Then, due to the complex layered structure characteristics of the plate-fin heat exchanger, such as small fin size, thin fin thickness, and tens of thousands of fin cycles in the complete heat exchanger core, if a simulation model is directly constructed based on the actual structure of the plate-fin heat exchanger, when performing finite element analysis on the simulation model, the number of grids divided based on the above simulation model is too large, that is, the number of solution units is too large.

[0075] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide a method for simulating the temperature field of a plate-fin heat exchanger, which includes the following steps 101 to 104.

[0077] Step 101: Obtain material parameters of fins in a plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0078] It should be noted that a plate-fin heat exchanger is composed of baffles, fins, seals, and guide vanes. Fins, guide vanes, and seals are placed between adjacent baffles to form a sandwich, called a channel. These sandwiches are stacked according to different fluid flow patterns and brazed together to form a plate bundle, which is the core of the plate-fin heat exchanger. It has an extended secondary heat transfer surface (fins), so the heat transfer process occurs not only on the primary heat transfer surface (baffles) but also on the secondary heat transfer surface. In addition to heat from the high-temperature side medium being transferred to the low-temperature side medium from the primary surface, some heat is also transferred along the height of the fin surface. That is, along the height of the fin, heat is poured in by the baffles and then transferred to the low-temperature side medium by convection. Because the fin height significantly exceeds the fin thickness, the heat conduction process along the fin height is similar to that of a homogeneous, slender guide rod. At this point, the thermal resistance of the fin cannot be ignored. The highest temperature at both ends of the fin is equal to the partition temperature. As the fin and the medium release heat through convection, the temperature continues to decrease until it reaches the medium temperature in the middle area of the fin.

[0079] In the examples of this application, refer to Figure 2 The plate-fin heat exchanger unit consists of a baffle, cold-side fins, and hot-side fins. The cold-side fins have 5 repeating periods in the fin bending direction, and the hot-side fins have 5 repeating periods in the fluid flow direction. Of course, this is only an exemplary description. The repetition period of the fins in the plate-fin heat exchanger unit can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here. Multiple plate-fin heat exchanger units can also be stacked and combined in the stacking direction of the fins and baffles to increase the repetition period cost of the fins. Research has found that if the repetition period of the plate-fin heat exchanger in the fluid flow direction and the bending direction is greater than 100, and the repetition period in the stacking direction of the fins and baffles is greater than 50, if a model is constructed to divide the grid, the number of grids will be in the hundreds of millions, which requires a huge amount of processing resources and the efficiency of the simulation experiment is too low. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application will reduce the number of divided grids by converting a complex plate-fin heat exchanger into a simple-structured single-body equivalent heat exchanger. This requires first obtaining the material parameters of the plate-fin heat exchanger that needs to simulate the heating process. The material parameters can be the size, material, performance indicators, etc. of the fin edge and partition. The specific settings can be based on actual needs and are not limited here.

[0080] Step 102: Calculate configuration parameters of a monomer equivalent body model based on the material parameters.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, compared with the repetition period greater than 1 in the direction of the partition and the fin, the monomer equivalent model has only one repetition period, and the material parameters of the plate-fin heat exchanger can be used to set the configuration parameters of the monomer equivalent model, so that the model subsequently constructed based on the configuration parameters of the monomer equivalent model is similar in size and performance to the plate-fin heat exchanger, which can better represent the actual structure of the plate-fin heat exchanger, making the temperature field state obtained by the simulation more accurate.

[0082] Step 103: construct a plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent based on the configuration parameters of the monomer equivalent model. The plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent is a layered structure composed of a baffle, a cold side fin equivalent, a baffle, and a hot side fin equivalent that are periodically and repeatedly stacked.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, a single-body plate-fin heat exchanger model can be pre-constructed using physical field modeling software, and then the obtained single-body equivalent model configuration parameters are input into the model to obtain a plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent body composed of a partition, a cold-side fin equivalent body, a partition, and a hot-side fin equivalent body stacked along the partition and fin stacking direction.

[0084] Step 104 : constructing a plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent heating model using the plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent, and simulating the heating process of the plate-fin heat exchanger to obtain a transient temperature field state.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the transient temperature field state is an indicator parameter used to reflect the temperature field changes and distribution during the heating process of the heat exchanger. Physical field modeling software can be used to construct a heating model of the plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent, including the heat exchanger, heat shield, press, and heater, based on the already constructed plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent. This plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent heating model can then be used to simulate heating, thereby equivalently simulating the heating process of the plate-fin heat exchanger and calculating the transient temperature field state of the plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0086] This application calculates the configuration parameters of the monomer equivalent model based on the material parameters of the plate-fin heat exchanger, so as to construct a plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent with a simple structure for the plate-fin heat exchanger with a complex structure, so that the heating model can be built through the plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent, and the heating process of the plate-fin heat exchanger can be efficiently simulated. It is adapted to the feature of the plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent with a small number of grids, which can effectively reduce the calculation amount of the temperature field simulation of the plate-fin heat exchanger and improve the efficiency of the temperature field simulation of the plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0087] Optionally, the material parameters include at least material size parameters and material performance parameters, and step 102 includes converting the material performance parameters into monomer equivalent body model configuration parameters based on the material size parameters.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the material size parameters are used to reflect the size parameters of the materials such as fins and baffles that make up the plate-fin heat exchanger, such as length, thickness, height, etc., which can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here. The material performance parameters are used to reflect the physical property parameters of the materials such as fins and baffles that make up the plate-fin heat exchanger, such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, specific heat capacity, hardness, etc., which can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here. By determining the monomer equivalent model configuration parameters for generating the plate-fin heat exchanger equivalent based on the material size parameters and material performance parameters, the generated plate-fin monomer equivalent can be similar in size and performance to the plate-fin heat exchanger, and can better represent the actual structure of the plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, by fully considering the structural characteristics and performance characteristics of the plate-fin heat exchanger, the fin thermal conductivity, fin electrical conductivity and fin specific heat of the plate-fin heat exchanger are converted into equivalent body thermal conductivity, equivalent body electrical conductivity and equivalent body specific heat according to the fin length, fin height and fin thickness of the plate-fin heat exchanger, so that the generated plate-fin monomer equivalent can be similar in size and performance to the plate-fin heat exchanger, and can better represent the actual structure of the plate-fin heat exchanger.

[0103] Optionally, the step 104 includes: simulating the plate-fin heat exchanger using the plate-fin heat exchanger monomer equivalent heating model to obtain a transient temperature field state during the radiation heating and / or self-resistance heating process.

[0104] For example, assume that the material parameters of a plate-fin heat exchanger are as shown in Table 1:

[0105]

[0106] Table 1

[0111] Reference Figure 7 , showing a schematic diagram of the architecture of a plate-fin heat exchanger radiant heating + self-resistance heating model in a vacuum brazing furnace provided by an embodiment of the present application. Generally speaking, the plate-fin heat exchanger has a repetition period greater than 100 in the x and y directions and a repetition period greater than 50 in the z direction. If meshing is performed, the amount of mesh data exceeds 100 million, making finite element calculations impossible. Using the method in this application, the plate-fin heat exchanger is modeled as a layered structure consisting of baffles, cold-side fin equivalents, baffles, and hot-side fin equivalents stacked along the z direction. The number of meshes is 710,000, allowing for transient finite element calculations.
