Micro-computer tomography image of the enlarged surface area of a heat exchanger for controlling thermal contacts.
A heat exchanger’s performance is influenced by many factors. Thermal contacts and the formation of vortices change performance on a small scale, while current transformers, distributors/collectors and filters have an impact on the larger scale. Component measurement investigates the influence of these phenomena and can be used to highlight potential areas for improvement.
