Desalination heat exchangers

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

A plate and frame heat exchanger is a compact heat exchanger where thin corrugated plates are stacked in contact with each other, and the two fluids flow separately along adjacent channels in the corrugation. The closure of the stacked plates may be by clamped gaskets, brazed (usually copper brazed stainless steel), or welded (stainless steel, […]

The hairpin heat exchanger design is similar to that of double pipe heat exchangers with multiple tubes inside one shell. The design provides the flexibility of a U-tube design with an extended shell length that improves the exchanger’s ability to achieve close temperature approaches. Advantages Typical Applications Single phase heating and cooling when the required […]
