typeHeatExchangerConfiguration
Enumeration for heat exchanger construction
Information
Enumeration that defines the heat exchanger construction.
The following heat exchanger configurations are available in this enumeration:
| Enumeration | Description |
|---|---|
| ParallelFlow | Parallel flow |
| CounterFlow | Counter flow |
| CrossFlowUnmixed | Cross flow, both streams unmixed |
| CrossFlowStream1MixedStream2Unmixed | Cross flow, stream 1 mixed, stream 2 unmixed |
| CrossFlowStream1UnmixedStream2Mixed | Cross flow, stream 1 unmixed, stream 2 mixed |
Note that for a given heat exchanger, the
HeatExchangerConfiguration is fixed. However, if the capacity
flow rates change, then the
HeatExchangerFlowRegime may change. For example,
a counter flow heat exchanger has HeatExchangerConfiguration=CounterFlow,
but the
HeatExchangerFlowRegime can change to parallel flow if one of the two capacity flow rates reverts
its direction.
