Heat exchangers

Key Attributes.

They are device for transfer of heat or removing heat from one medium to another and maintain a required temperature in the system without allowing medium to mix. Heat gets transferred through tube wall. Two fluids at different temperature flow through Heat Exchanger one fluid flows through the tube side and the other flow through outside the tube but inside the shell. Heat gets transferred from one fluid to another through tube wall.Such a device used to transfer heat from one fluid to another without direct contact of the fluids. Heat exchangers usually maximize the transfer of heat by maximizing the contact surface area between fluids, as when the warmer fluid is passed through a series of coils or thin plates.
