A heat exchanger is a system designed to transfer heat between two
fluids to control the temperature of one of the fluids. They are
widely used in space heating , condensers and evaporators used in
air conditioning units and refrigerators, Boilers and condensers in
thermal power plants are examples of large industrial heat
exchangers. There are heat exchangers in our automobiles in the
form of radiators and oil coolers. Heat exchangers are also
abundant in chemical and process industries, and sewage
treatment.
1.FLOW ARRANGEMENT
Heat exchanger is divided on the basis of
a) Single pass (parallel flow, counter-flow, cross –flow)

b) Multi-pass (parallel flow, counter-flow, split-flow, divided flow)
2. Surface compactness
•Non-compact (surface area density < 700 m2/m3) Compact (surface area
density > 700 m2/m3)
3. Contacting technique
a) Indirect contact
b) Direct contact
4.Construction
a) Tubular (double-pipe, shell and tube, spiral tube)
b) Plate (plate and frame (gasket and welded plate),spiral plate)
c) Extended surface (plate-fin, tube-fin)
d) Regenerative
The double-pipe heat exchanger is one of the simplest types of heat
exchangers. It is called a double-pipe exchanger because one fluid flows
inside a pipe and the other fluid flows between that pipe and another pipe that
surrounds the first. This is a concentric tube construction. Flow in a double-
pipe heat exchanger can be co-current or counter-current and Cross flow just
doesn't work for a double pipe heat exchanger.
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers contain a large number of tubes (sometimes
several hundred) packed in a shell with their axes parallel to that of the shell.
Baffles are commonly placed in the shell to force the shell-side fluid to flow
across the shell to enhance heat transfer and to enhance heat transfer and to
maintain from spacing between the tubes. It used in systems because of its
higher operating temperatures and pressures.
A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to
transfer heat between two fluid. the heat exchanger contains a fully welded
circular plate pack made by pressing and cutting round plates and welding
them together. Larger commercial versions use gasket between the plates,
smaller version tend to be brazed. Plate and shell technology offers high heat
transfer, high pressure, high operating temperature, compact size, low
fouling and close approach temperature.
Three flow arrangement are possible in heat
exchange
1.PARALLEL
FLOW
When working fluid pass from one tube and refrigerant pass from other
tube and their direction of flow is in same direction then heat exchanger
act as a heat exchanger with parallel flow.
2. Counter flow
When working fluid pass from one tube and refrigerant pass from other tube
and their but direction of flow is in different direction then heat exchanger act
as a heat exchanger with counter flow.
3. Cross flow
In compact heat exchangers, the two fluids usually move perpendicular to
each other and such flow configuration is called each other, and such flow
configuration is called cross-flow.
There are two types of cross flow heat exchangers
(a) Unmixed and (b) Mixed flow
Coaxial heat exchanger consists of one inner corrugated tube and one outer
tube. Hot and cold fluid separately flow in inner tube and between tubes for
heat transferring. The corrugated inner tube generates more area and
increases the heat transfer between water and refrigerant. The coaxial heat
exchanger can be applied on marine ship refrigerate equipment, food or
medical processing, chemical processing, water-source heat pump,
geothermal
heat pump, water heater, air chiller, refrigerate equipment, HVAC(as a
condenser or evaporator), water chiller.
FACTOR DUE TO WHICH CO-AXIAL
HEAT EXCHANGER IS PREFERRED
OVER OTHER HEAT EXCHANGER
1.High heat transfer efficiency
2. Easy Installation
3.Multi-spiral structure of inner tube imparts outstanding anti-freezing
capability to coaxial heat exchanger.
4. No choke problem
5.More durable and save space
5.Wide application
