Heat Exchangers Spares

Place viscous fluids on the shell side. Pressure drops are easier to minimize on the shell side.

Shell and tube exchangers can be designed for almost any service. All other exchanger types are compared to shell and tube. Hairpin type exchangers are a good choice when one fluid is at a very high pressure. Hairpin exchangers are a good choice when there is a large difference in temperature between the two fluids.

Air cooled heat exchangers use ambient air for cooling and condensing. They are typically used in locations where there is a shortage of cooling water. Air-cooled heat exchangers are usually used when the heat exchanger outlet temperature is at least 20°F above the maximum expected ambient air temperature. They can be designed for closer approach […]

Spiral plate heat exchangers are fabricated from two metal plates that are wound around each other. One process fluid stream enters the exchanger at the centre and flows outwards while the second fluid enters on the outside and flows inward. This creates almost a true counter current flow. Advantages Typical Applications

Advantages Typical Applications Low pressure and temperature single phase heating and cooling when fluids are not hazardous, a high-pressure drop can be tolerated and alloys are required for the fluids being handled
