Familiarity with the heat exchanger
By using a heat exchanger, heat and warmth can be transferred from one environment to another. Fluids are used for this type of transfer; fluid can be liquids such as water or oil. Heat exchanger is used in many industries, including petrochemical and also manufacturing industries.
In previous contents, we also made you familiar with the function of chemical distillation columns, which you can obtain interesting information in this regard by reading the previous article.
Furthermore, fossil powerhouses, steam condensers and also fossil boilers use heat exchangers.
Some other industries that use heat exchangers include: oil and gas industries, electricity generation, pharmaceutical industries, food and beverage industries and also paper mills.
Applying this type of exchangers has a very high efficiency and performance.
There are different types of heat exchangers and each of them will have different usages depending on your needs. Therefore, in choosing a heat exchanger, you should be enough accurate to exactly know the type of your requirement so that you stay out of trouble by choosing the wrong one.
Some of the main types of heat exchangers:
- Plate exchanger
- Tubular exchanger
- Shell exchanger
- Double-pipe heat exchanger
- Shell and tube exchanger
- Spiral exchanger
- Direct contact exchanger
- Air cooled exchangers
Other types of heat exchangers are also generated, which we will discuss in further articles.
The mentioned exchangers are considered as the main types of heat exchangers.
We have explained that choosing a heat exchanger is not an easy task to do and it requires research and examination. In choosing this type of exchanger, it is essential to consider many cases. Sometimes people cannot select these exchangers themselves and they need to seek the help of experts and professional engineers in these regard.
