Type of Heat Exchangers By Cao Yu, Marcus, Ray Yan
What is heat exchanger? • A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. • the mediums are separated by a solid wall so that they never mix, or the media are in direct contact
Type of Heat Exchanger • 1 Shell and tube heat exchanger • 2 Plate heat exchanger • 3 Regenerative heat exchanger • 4 Adiabatic wheel heat exchanger • 5 Plate Fin heat exchanger • 6 Fluid heat exchangers
Type of Heat Exchangers • 7 Waste Heat Recovery Units • 8 Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger • 9 Phase-change heat exchangers
Shell and tube heat exchanger • It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, • is suited for higher-pressure applications. • consists of a shell with a bundle of tubes inside it.
Shell and tube heat exchanger • One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes to transfer heat between the two fluids. • The set of tubes is called a tube bundle, and may be composed by several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc. • For more details, please kindly refer to group 2 presentation. :D
Plate heat exchanger • uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. • major advantage is that fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the fluids spread out over the plates. • need well-sealed gaskets to prevent the fluids from escaping
Regenerative heat exchanger • more commonly known as regenerator
Regenerative heat exchanger • the flow through the heat exchanger is cyclical and periodically changes direction. • a regenerator mixes the two fluid flows. • The temperature profile remains at a nearly constant temperature, and this includes the fluid entering and exiting each end.
Adiabatic wheel heat exchanger • uses an intermediate fluid or solid store to hold heat, which is then moved to the other side of the heat exchanger to be released. • it is acceptable for a small amount of mixing to occur between the two streams
Plate Fin heat exchanger • This type of heat exchanger uses "sandwiched" passages containing fins to increase the effectivity of the unit. • The designs include crossflow and counterflow coupled with various fin configurations such as straight fins, offset fins and wavy fins.
Fluid heat exchangers • This is a heat exchanger with a gas passing upwards through a shower of fluid, and the fluid is then taken elsewhere before being cooled. • This is commonly used for cooling gases whilst also removing certain impurities, thus solving two problems at once.
Waste Heat Recovery Units • recovers heat from a hot gas stream while transferring it to a working medium, typically water or oils. • The hot gas stream can be the exhaust gas from a gas turbine or a diesel engine or a waste gas from industry or refinery.
Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger • can be used either to heat a liquid to evaporate (or boil) it or used as condensers to cool a vapor and condense it to a liquid
Direct Contact Heat Exchangers • Direct contact heat exchangers involve heat transfer between hot and cold streams of two phases in the absence of a separating wall. • can be classified as: • Gas – liquid • Immiscible liquid –liquid • Solid-liquid or solid- gas
