What is an Intercooler? An intercooler is a heat exchanger that cools compressed intake air (charge air) in turbocharged/supercharged engines, improving combustion efficiency and power output. It reduces intake air temperature by 50-100°C, increasing air density for better engine performance. How an Intercooler Works Types of...

What is an Extended Surface Heat Exchanger? An extended surface heat exchanger enhances heat transfer efficiency by increasing the surface area exposed to the fluid using fins, spines, or other protrusions. This design is ideal for applications with low heat transfer coefficients (e.g., gas-to-gas or gas-to-liquid heat exchange). How...

What is an Air Preheater? An air preheater (APH) is a heat exchanger that recovers waste heat from flue gases and uses it to preheat combustion air entering boilers, furnaces, or kilns. This improves combustion efficiency and reduces fuel consumption by 5-15%. How Air Preheaters Work Types of Air Preheaters 1....

Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) Cooler: Comprehensive Guide A heat transfer fluid cooler is a critical component in thermal systems that regulates the temperature of thermal oils, synthetic fluids, or glycol-based coolants used in industrial processes. These coolers maintain optimal operating temperatures, prevent fluid degradation, and improve...

Flue Gas Heat Exchanger: Complete Guide A flue gas heat exchanger is a thermal recovery device that captures waste heat from exhaust gases (flue gases) and transfers it to another medium (water, air, or process fluid), improving energy efficiency and reducing fuel costs. How Flue Gas Heat Exchangers Work Types of Flue Gas Heat Exchangers...
