. Double-pipe heat exchanger When one fluid flows through the smaller pipe, the other flows through the annular gap between the two pipes. These flows may be parallel or counter-flows in a double pipe heat exchanger. (a) Parallel flow, where both hot and cold liquids enter the heat exchanger from the same side, flow in […]

 heat exchangers are designed to maximize the surface area of the wall between the two fluids, while minimizing resistance to fluid flow through the exchanger. The exchanger’s performance can also be affected by the addition of fins or corrugations in one or both directions, which increase surface area and may channel fluid flow or...

There are three primary classifications of heat exchangers according to their flow arrangement. In parallel-flow heat exchangers, the two fluids enter the exchanger at the same end, and travel in parallel to one another to the other side. In counter-flow heat exchangers the fluids enter the exchanger from opposite ends. The counter current...

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes.[1] The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact.[2] They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power...

A plate heat exchanger functions as a specialized device for transferring thermal energy between two fluid streams using a series of metal plates. One of its primary advantages over traditional heat exchangers lies in the substantial increase in surface area for heat exchange, achieved by spreading the fluids across these plates. This...

Cooling System Design Requirements The primary purpose of the engine cooling system is to reject heat from the jacket water coolant and auxiliary circuit if equipped, at greatest engine load, highest ambient temperature, and altitude. This section will outline the proper methods to be used for cooling system sizing. Heat Rejection Before a cooling...

Compressor Oil Coolers A compressor oil cooler (or other external heat load) should be connected into the after cooler circuit after the water has left the after cooler. The return line back into the circuit should be placed before the thermostat. If full flow is not needed to the compressor oil cooler, a bypass line […]

Two-Stage After cooler Cooling Systems The two-stage after cooler, currently offered for some gas engines, is intended to provide high temperature heat recovery for Electric Power Generation (EPG) applications and Reduce overall radiator sizing for Gas Compression applications. There are two coolant stages on the two-stage after cooler; the first...
