Heat exchanger (part 2)| TheCNC2020 You can find this article again with keywords: Heat transfer rate, Cost Pumping power, Size and weight, Type, Materials, Other considerations Heat exchangers are devices that facilitate the exchange of heat between two fluids that are at different temperatures while keeping them from mixing with each other. Heat exchangers are commonly used in practice in a wide range of applications, from heating and air-conditioning systems in a household, to chemical processing and power production in large plants. In the previous article, we knew the types of heat exchangers. So, what factors should you consider when choosing a heat exchanger? Let's find out together. Heat exchangers are complex devices. To choose a heat exchanger is usually based on the heat transfer capacity. However, heat transfer enhancement in heat exchangers is usually accompanied by increased pressure drop, and thus higher pumping power. Therefore, any gain from the enhancement in...
