Heat Exchanger Manufacturing
Types of Heat Exchangers
When it comes to heat exchangers, there are a host of possibilities in structure and design. Some of the most common you will find include:
-
- Shell and tube heat exchangers
- Plate heat exchangers
- Double pipe heat exchangers
- Condensers, evaporators, and boilers
How They Work
The shell and tube heat exchangers are by far the most common, compiled of tubes encapsulated in a cylindrical shell or pressure vessel with one liquid flowing through the tubes and another flowing through the shell. Plate heat exchangers are made up of various steel plates stacked and welded together creating passageways for the liquids to flow through. The simplest of designs by far is the double pipe heat exchanger with simply 2 large tubes, a smaller one on the inside and a larger one on the outside with the warm and cold fluid flowing through each pipe.
