Refrigeration & heat exchange
tube layout
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
It refers to how tubes are positioned within the shell. There are four main types of tube layout, which are, triangular (30°), rotated triangular (60°), square (90°) and rotated square (45°). The ...
baffles
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
Baffles are used in shell and tube heat exchangers to direct fluid across the tube bundle. They run perpendicularly to the shell and hold the bundle, preventing the tubes from sagging over a long ...
plate heat exchanger
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
A type of heat exchanger. It is composed of multiple, thin, slightly separated plates that have very large surface areas and fluid flow passages for heat transfer. This stacked-plate arrangement can ...
adiabatic wheel heat exchanger
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
A type of heat exchanger which uses an intermediate fluid or solid store to hold heat, which is then moved to the other side of the heat exchanger to be released. It consist of a large wheel with ...
plate fin heat exchanger
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
This type of heat exchanger uses "sandwiched" passages containing fins to increase the effectivity of the unit. The designs include crossflow and counterflow coupled with various fin configurations ...
pillow plate heat exchanger
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
The pillow plate is constructed using a thin sheet of metal spot-welded to the surface of another thicker sheet of metal. The thin plate is welded in a regular pattern of dots or with a serpentine ...
fluid heat exchangers
Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange
This is a heat exchanger with a gas passing upwards through a shower of fluid (often water), and the fluid is then taken elsewhere before being cooled. This is commonly used for cooling gases whilst ...
