Abstract

This studies present the design and an analyze of a louvered plate in heat exchanger and air conditioning usage. Literature review is including the geometry of the louvered plate such as its length, air velocity, pressure outcome and also the louvered plate angle. The air velocity distribution for louvered fin heat exchanger in residential air conditioning installation is not very well documented today because it is difficult to measure accurately. This louvered plate also encouraged the air flow, velocity and pressure. This project is using a Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation to identify the pressure drop and velocity profile of air which will flow through the louvered with changing the louvered plate angle. The simulation that has been use for this project is Computational Fluid Dynamics. Computational Fluid Dynamics software use in this project is FLUENT. This simulation can identify the shape or air flow that is forced to the louvered plate. This method involves the designing process, mesh, solve and analyze. All results will be analyzed directly from this method. The result show the optimal angle is 25° degrees and that result approximately with the previous study.
