Plate-type heat exchangers are usually built of thin plates (all prime surface). The plates are either smooth or have some form of corrugation, and they are either flat or wound in an exchanger. Generally, these exchangers cannot accommodate very high pressures, temperatures, or pressure and temperature differences. Plate heat exchangers (PHEs){can...

CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS Heat exchangers may be classified according to the following main criteria: •Recuperators •Regenerators •Direct Contact apparatus RECUPERATORS • The conventional heat exchangers with heat transfer between two fluids. • Hot steam A recovers some of the heat from stream B. REGENERATORS •Storage type heat...

A heat exchanger can be defined as any device that transfers heat from one fluid to another or from or to a fluid and the environment. They are specifically designed for the efficient transfer of heat from one fluid to another fluid over a solid surface. WHAT ARE HEAT EXCHANGERS USED FOR? They have the […]
