It is a mechanical equipment that has a temperature difference between them without any physical contact, and that transfers heat from one to another without mixing two or more fluids..
Heat Exchanger Types:
Tubular Heat Exchanger
These types of heat exchangers are the most widely used in oil refineries and other large chemical processes.
Plate Heat Exchanger
Plate size and number of plates are determined according to the flow rate of the fluid passing through, physical properties, pressure drops, inlet-outlet temperature values and the desired maximum strength value. One of the most important features of plate heat exchangers is that the plates can be easily added and removed. they become suitable for the conditions. Thanks to the easy removal of the plates, the cleaning of plate heat exchangers is much easier than expected.
Plate heat exchangers are more efficient than tube heat exchangers due to the high turbulent flow created from patented plate designs. They are lighter and cheaper than the tube heat exchanger in terms of material weight.
Brazed Heat Exchanger
They have 10 times more efficiency than detachable type heat exchangers compared to 25% tubular type heat exchangers. In terms of size, they cover up to 5-10% volume and are lighter than the tubular type heat exchanger. It works efficiently even at temperature changes of 1 ° C.
