HEAT EXCHANGER
* Heat exchanger used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. *
*Types of heat exchangers -Air Cooled -Double Pipe -Spiral Plate and Tube -Shell and Tube
ØThe media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact. ØThey are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. ØOne common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the heat source, being a hot engine-cooling fluid, water, transfers heat to air flowing through the radiator.
One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the heat source, being a hot engine-cooling fluid, water, transfers heat to air flowing through the radiator.
Hot coolant enter the tubes Cold coolant exits the tubes. Heat finally transferred from the fins to the surrounding air. Heat from the coolant is transferred from the coolant to the tubes. Heat is then transferred from the tubes to the fins.
