Abstract :
One of the most widely used device in heat transfer application is heat exchanger, a device transfer heat from
one body to another due to difference in temperature. In this research work a Spiral plate heat exchanger is designed
for 7 kW using the basic dimensions taken from Milton. The theoretical analysis and numerical analysis showed that
for smaller spacing, the larger plate width to be used to meet our heat and pressure duty. The results showed that the
plate width required is H= 301.92 mm to meet both the heat duty and pressure duty for 7 kW spiral plate heat
exchanger.
