摘要

This work is devoted to the design of a checkerboard air-gas heat exchanger suitable for industrial applications. The design of the heat exchanger is optimized in order to obtain the maximum increase of the outlet air temperature, considering different geometrical design parameters and including manufacturing constraints. The heat exchanger efficiency has been assessed by means of the \(\epsilon \) -NTU method. The perfomances are compared with traditional finned recuperators and appreciable enhancement of the exchanger efficiency has been observed adopting the new design.
