Introduction To Heat Exchangers

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid, also known as a heat exchanger or heat exchange equipment. Its main function is to meet specific process requirements and achieve heat exchange between fluids of different temperatures through heat conduction and convection heat transfer.
Classification
Heat exchangers can be classified according to different working principles:
‌Partition type‌: Heat exchange is carried out through partitions (such as flat plates, tube bundles, etc.).
‌Mixed type‌: Fluids are directly mixed inside the exchanger for heat exchange.
‌Regenerative type‌: Use thermal storage materials to store and release heat.
In addition, it can also be divided into compact and non-compact types according to the compactness of its surface.
