Cooling towers! this article will discuss their types, uses and applications in industry, will also look at advantages and disadvantages. Toch on a general sizing procedures. What Are Cooling towers? Cooling towers are large, specialized structures used to remove heat from water that has been used in industrial processes orContinue Reading
Helical coil heat exchanger is widely used in various industrial processes for heat transfer between two fluids. The helical coil design allows for a large heat transfer area in a relatively small space, making it an efficient and compact solution for heat exchange applications. This type of heat exchanger usesContinue Reading
Brazed plate heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger that are used to transfer heat between two fluid streams, such as between a hot fluid and a cold fluid. They consist of a series of thin, corrugated metal plates that are brazed together using a high-temperature brazing process. TheContinue Reading
Induced draft vs forced draft in Air cooled heat exchangers. This article will look at the difference between them. Air cooled heat exchangers are widely employed in industry due to their advantage of being able to utilize free air in cooling a fluid stream eliminating the need for utilities orContinue Reading
Air cooled heat exchangers are a devices for rejecting heat from a fluid directly to ambient air. Unlike Shell and tube heat exchangers where rejecting heat can be to another fluid e.g. water and then to air. This type of heat exchangers doesn’t require a cooling fluid to perform theContinue Reading
Thermosiphon Reboilers are often used in industry, this article will briefly touch on the available type of reboilers in industry. then look into thermosiphon reboilers types, their advantages, disadvantages, compare them to other types and attempt to answer some common questions. The article will also attempt to highlight any industryContinue Reading
Baffles in heat exchangers are often used as a core element in any shell and tube heat exchanger design. This short article will discuss the use of baffles and some common guidelines on their usage in heat exchangers.Continue Reading
Do you have some questions about tube pitch in heat exchangers! why not read this articleContinue Reading
How to calculate the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient? Heat exchanger setup typically involves two flowing fluids separated by a solid wall. Heat is first transferred from the hot fluid to the wall by convection, the heat is then transferred through the wall by conduction, and lastly the heat is transferredContinue Reading
Definition Compact heat exchanger can be characterized by its high ‘area density’ this means that is has a high ratio of heat transfer surface to heat exchanger volume. So Compact heat exchange is characterized by high heat transfer surface-area to volume ratios and high heat transfer coefficients compared to otherContinue Reading
