    Heat exchangers allow the transfer of heat between two fluids without direct contact. The main types are double-pipe, shell-and-tube, plate-and-frame, and spiral. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers consist of a set of tubes in a shell container, with one fluid flowing inside the tubes and the other on the outside of the tubes. Plate-and-frame heat exchangers use corrugated plates clamped together with gaskets to direct fluid streams between alternate plates. Spiral heat exchangers use two plates wrapped around a central tube to create spiral channels for counter-current fluid flow.

    Heat Exchangers

    Heat Exchangers
    Heat exchangers are one of the most common pieces of equipment found in all plants. Heat Exchangers are components that allow the transfer of heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to another fluid. In a heat exchanger there is no direct contact between the two fluids. The heat is transferred from the hot fluid to the metal isolating the two fluids and then to the cooler fluid.

    Types of Heat Exchangers

    Double-Pipe Exchanger

    Double Pipe
    Simplest type has one tube inside another - inner tube may have longitudinal fins on the outside

    However, most have a number of tubes in the outer tube - can have very many tubes thus becoming a shell-and-tube

    Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger

    Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers are the most important type of HE. It is used in almost every type of industry. This type of heat exchanger consists of a set of tubes in a container called a shell. The fluid flowing inside the tubes is called the tube side fluid and the fluid flowing on the outside of the tubes is the shell side fluid.

    Main Components of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers

    Some common heat-exchanger terms

    Tube side: Inside the tubes. Shell side: Outside the tubes, between the tubes and the shell. Tube sheet A thick plate provided with holes (one per tube) in which the tubes are fixed. Tube bundle Consists of tubes, tube sheet and baffle plates Shell A cylinder of plate in which the tube bundle is placed

    Low-finned Tubes

    Flat end to go into tube sheet and intermediate flat portions for baffle locations

    Available in variety of metals including stainless steel, titanium and inconels

    Plate and frame

    Plates hung vertically and clamped in a press or frame. Gaskets direct the streams between alternate plates and prevent external leakage Plates made of stainless steel or higher quality material Plates corrugated to give points of support and increase heat transfer

    Plate Heat Exchanger

    Plate types
    Corrugations on plate improve heat transfer give rigidity
    Many points of contact and a tortuous flow path

    Plate exchanger normally refers to a gasketed plate- and-frame exchanger

    Flow Arrangement within a PHE


    Gaskets arranged for each stream to flow between alternate plates

    Alternate plates (often same plate types inverted)

    Air-Cooled or Fin-Fan Exchanger

    Air-cooled exchanger

    Air blown across finned tubes (forced draught type) Can suck air across (induced draught)

    Finned tubes

    ACHE bundle

    Spiral Heat Exchanger

    Spiral Heat Exchangers


    Spiral heat exchangers can be used in most applications in the chemical process industry In many difficult applications where fouling and plugging are problems, a standard shell and tube design may not be effective While a spiral heat exchanger often has a higher initial cost, it may provide a lower life cycle cost due to lower fouling rates and ease of maintenance

    A spiral heat exchanger is composed of two long, flat plates wrapped around a mandrel or center tube, creating two concentric spiral channels In a spiral heat exchanger, the hot fluid flows into the center of the unit and spirals outward toward the outer plates while at the same time, the cold fluid enters the periphery and spiral inward, exiting at the center
