Basic Modes of heat exchangers

BASIC MODES OF HEAT EXCHANGERS Heat transfer occurs when a temperature gradient exists within a system. Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one state to another and transferred between different media. In basic heat exchange, there are three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and...

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs.  It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a […]
