A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. The fluids can be single or two phase and, depending on the exchanger type, may be separated or in direct contact. Devices involving energy sources such as nuclear fuel pins or fired heaters are not normally regarded as heat exchangers […]

Tube metal is usually: Low carbon steel Low alloy steel Stainless steel Copper Admiralty Cupronickel Inconel Aluminum (in the form of alloys), or titanium. Tube diameters (8–15 mm) are preferred for greater area/volume density but are limited, for purposes of in-tube cleaning larger tube diameters are often required for condensers and boilers....

Shell & tube heat exchangers are the most versatile type of heat exchangers. stations, steam generators, etc

The most common type of heat exchanger in industrial applications is shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The exchangers exhibit more than 65% of the market share with a variety of design experiences of about 100 years. Shell-and tube heat exchangers provide typically the surface area density ranging from 50 to 500 m2/m3 and are easily cleaned. The...
