A plate and frame heat exchanger is a compact heat exchanger where thin corrugated plates are stacked in contact with each other, and the two fluids flow separately along adjacent channels in the corrugation. The closure of the stacked plates may be by clamped gaskets, brazed (usually copper brazed stainless steel), or welded (stainless steel,...
Plate exchanger is made by stacking several thin metallic plates together to form flow channels, they exchange only heat between the air streams. The metallic plates can be flat or corrugated and the flow configurations can be parallel flow, counter flow, or cross flow, depending on the requirement. Generally, this type of exchanger is a […]
A tubular heat exchanger, consisting of a pipe and a jacket around it, is the simplest heat exchanger mainly used for small flow rates of fluid. The fluid which is desired to be heated or cooled flows inside the pipe, while the other fluid flows in the jacket. Heat is exchanged from hot fluid to […]
Approximately 70-80% of the heat exchanger market is held by the shell-and-tube type heat exchanger. It is largely favored due to its long performance history, relative simplicity, and its wide temperature and pressure design ranges. In essence, a shell-and-tube exchanger is a pressure vessel with many tubes inside. One process fluid flow through...
