Microchannel Based UHT Milk Pasteurizer


Our new design is a 2-port HX with integral heating
applies thermal energy to a liquid, then recaptures heat in adjacent channel
Local balance inherently superior to global balance in 4-port HX (i.e., higher HX
effectiveness) due to elimination of flow maldistributions

Single-Phase Liquid Flow: Unresolved Issues

Enhancement Techniques
Colgan et al. (2005) developed a microcooler
removing a heat flux of 800 W/cm2 and a heat
transfer coefficient of >500,000 W/m2 C.
Complex header arrangement and high pressure
gradient limit its usage across other applications.

Need to develop new enhancement techniques


that excel in heat transfer performance and
provide a simpler header configuration with
lower pressure gradients.

Single-Phase Gas Flow in microchannels:


Largely unexplored topic for enhanced heat transfer 21

Heat transfer in flow boiling affected by instabilities

Significant Deterioration in Heat Transfer

during Flow Boiling in Microchannels

Flow Boiling: Unresolved Issue

Single-phase liquid flow in microcoolers removes


~ 1 kW/cm2 heat flux with water.

Current flow boiling systems are limited to ~ 100


W/cm2 with significantly lower performance
compared to single-phase systems.

Need to develop stable, high performance flow


boiling systems to excel single-phase
microchannel cooling systems.
