The corrugated plate heat exchangers are widely used in food industry especially for pasteurization operations. Limited research work has been carried out on sinusoidal plate heat exchangers. In the present investigation, experimental studies have been carried out in a sinusoidal corrugated plate heat exchanger with water and glycerol solutions of varying concentration as test fluids. The plate heat exchanger is fabricated with two stainless steel sheets having a thickness of 1 mm forming a test channel having a clearance of 5 mm and of length 30cm. 3 such plate heat exchangers have been fabricated with corrugation angles of 30, 40 and 50 degrees. The effect of corrugation angle has been analyzed in detail and it has been observed from the experimental results that the corrugation angle is the major parameter that affects the pressure drop and the friction factor.
