INTRODUCTION

• A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment built for

efficient heat transfer from one medium to another
• They are widely used in space hea ng,
refrigera on, air condi oning, power plants,
chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum
refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage
treatment
PRINCIPLES OF HEAT
EXCHANGER

• Heat transferred from hot fluid to cold fluid

• Heat transferred through the wall Q = U. A.LMTD
CLASSIFICATIONS OF HEAT
EXCHANGERS
1 parallel flow heat exchanger :-
In parallel flow heat exchangers, the two
fluids enter the exchanger at the same end,
and travel in parallel to one another to the
other side.
2 counter flow heat exchanger :-
In counter flow heat exchangers the fluids
enter the exchanger from opposite ends. The
counter current design is the most efficient, in
that it can transfer the most heat from the
heat medium due to the fact that the average
temperature difference along any unit length
is greater.
3 cross flow heat exchanger :-
In a cross flow heat exchanger, the fluids
travel roughly perpendicular to one another
through the exchanger.
TYPES OF HEAT EXCHANGER
1 Shell and tube heat exchanger :-
It consist of a large number of a parallel
tubes enclosed in a rela vely closed fi ng
cylindrical Shell.
Shell and tube heat exchangers are typically
used for high pressure applica on.
2 Plate types heat exchanger :-
Heat exchanger is the Plate heat
exchanger. One is composed of mul ple,
thin, slightly separated plates that have
very large surface areas and fluids flow
passage for heat transfer.
APPLICATION OF HEAT
EXCHANGER
1 These are used in food industries
2 These are used in dairy product industry
3 They are large used where even the slightest
contamina on of the products due to leakage
cannot be tolerated
4 In gasket and brazing technology made these heat
exchanger in HVAC applica on
5 They are used in refrigera on applica on in close loop
MATERIALS USED FOR HEAT
EXCHANGER
1 Carbon steel
2 C-Mo steel
3 Low alloy steel (less then 6% chromium)
4 Alloy steel (less then 17% chromium)
5 Cast iron
6 Brass
7 Austeni c Cr-Ni steel
SELECTION CRITERIA FOR
HEAT EXCHANGER
1 High/low pressure limits
2 Thermal performance
3 Temperature ranges
4 Fluid flow capacity
5 Cleanability, maintenance and repair
6 Ability and ease of future expansion
7 pressure drops across the exchanger
CONCLUSION
1 Heat exchangers are widely used in industries for
both hea ng and cooling.
2 Proper selec on required sufficient knowledge of
heat exchangers types and opera ng requirements.
3 Mostly used heat exchangers are Shell and tube
heat exchangers.
4 For any types of heat exchangers counter flow
pa ern has be er efficiency.
RESULT
Erosion which removes metals rapidly because of
fric on which produce erosion as well as corrosion
use stainless steel, aluminum, Carbon steel tubes
there which are easily available and less effec ve to
chemistry of fluid
This all opera on can improve the effec veness of
heat exchanger
Less expansion of tube decrease overall cost of heat
exchanger
