    This document discusses heat exchangers. It defines a heat exchanger as equipment that transfers energy from a hot fluid to a cold fluid efficiently. It then lists examples of common heat exchangers like radiators and condensers. The document goes on to classify heat exchangers based on the nature of heat exchange, direction of fluid flow, design features, and physical state of the fluids. Key types discussed include direct contact, regenerators, recuperators, shell and tube, and compact heat exchangers.

    Heat Exchanger
    A heat exchanger may be defined as equipment which transfers the energy from hot fluid to a cold
    fluid with maximum rate, minimum investment and running costs.
    Example of heat exchangers
    • Intercoolers and preheaters
    • Condenser and boiler in steam plant
    • Regenerators
    • Automobile radiators
    • Oil coolers of heat engine
    • Milk chiller of a pasteurising plant
    Types of Heat exchanger
    In order to meet the widely varying applications several types of heat exchanger have been developed which
    are classified on the basis of nature of heat exchange process, relative direction of fluid motion, design and
    constructional features and physical state of fluid.
    Nature of heat exchange process
    Heat exchangers on the basis of nature of heat exchange process are classified as follows
    1. Direct contact heat exchangers
    In a direct contact or open heat exchangers the exchange of heat take place by direct mixing of hot
    and cold fluids and transfer of heat and mass take place simultaneously.
    Direct contact heat exchangers
    1. Cooling Tower
    2. Jet condenser
    In Direct contact heat exchangers
    In this type of heat exchanger the heat transfer between two fluids could be carried out by transmission through wall
    which separates the two fluids. This type includes the following.
    Regenerators
    In a regenerators type of heat exchanger the hot and cold fluids passes alternately through a space containing solid
    particles, these particles providing alternately a sink and a source of heat flow.
    Recuperators
    Recuperator is the most important type of heat exchanger in which the flowing fluids exchanging heat
    are on either side of dividing wall. These heat exchangers are used when two fluids cannot be allowed to mix
    In Direct contact heat exchangers
    1. Automobile Radiator
    2. Boiler
    Relative direction of fluid motion
    Parallel flow
    Both the hot and cold fluids enter the heat exchanger at the same end and move in the same
    direction
    Counter flow
    In counter flow, on the other hand, the hot and cold fluids enter the heat exchanger at opposite ends
    and flow in opposite directions.
    Cross flow
    In cross flow heat exchanger the two fluid cross one another in space, usually at right angles
    Relative direction of fluid motion
    1. Coolers
    2. Condenser
    3. Evaporators
    Design and constructional features
    On the basis of design and constructional features, the heat exchangers are classified as under.
    Concentric tubes
    In this type two concentric tubes are used each carrying on the fluid. The direction of flow may be
    parallel or counter. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is increased by using swirling flow.
    Shell and tube
    In this type of heat exchanger one of the fluids flow through the bundles of tubes enclosed by a
    shell. The other fluid is forced through the shell and it flows over the outside surface of the tubes
    Multiple Shell and tube
    Multiple shell and tube passes are used for enhancing the overall heat transfer. Multiple shell pass
    is possible where the fluid flowing through the shell is re routed. The shell side fluid is forced to
    flow back and forth across the tubes by baffles.
    Compact Heat exchanger
    There are special purpose heat exchanger and have a very large transfer surface area per unit volume if the
    exchanger. They are generally be employed when convective heat transfer coefficient associated with one of the
    fluid is much smaller than that associated with other fluid

    1. Plate Fins
    2. Flattened fin tube exchangers
