Path Length in Heat Exchangers Formulas

Path Length refers to the distance that the fluid travels between the plates. It represents the length of the flow path within the heat exchanger channels formed by adjacent plates. And is denoted by L_p. Path Length is usually measured using the Millimeter for Length. Note that the value of Path Length is always positive.
