A three-dimensional geometric model was established by ANSYS ICEM according to the structure of a plate heat exchanger. And the thermodynamic performance under different working conditions is simulated. The pressure field, temperature field, velocity field and flow pattern were analyzed based the simulated results. The heat transfer performance and resistance performance of heat exchanger under different flow rates and inlet temperature difference of cold and hot fluids are compared and analyzed. The results provide support for the more efficient use of plate heat exchangers under different working conditions.
