Abstract

The heat pipe heat exchanger is applied widely with the advantages of low investment, small volume and good effect of heat transfer. To make a full and reasonable use of the heat resource, a heat pipe heat exchanger is introduced in this paper. Numerical simulation of the heat pipe heat exchanger with different wind speeds is carried out by the CFD software FLUENT. The temperature, velocity contours and effects of heat transfer were compared in different wind speed conditions such as 0.02m/s, 0.04m/s, 0.06m/s,0.08mm/s, 0.1m/s and 0.12m/s. The maximum difference of cold and hot air heat flow rate is 5.344W in the air velocity of 0.04m/s. And the results show that rate of heat recovery can reach 52.9% in this model.
