Heat exchanger — An interchangeable plate heat exchanger Tubular heat exchan … Wikipedia
Plate heat exchanger — A plate heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. This has a major advantage over a conventional heat exchanger in that the fluids are exposed to a much larger surface area because the… … Wikipedia
Regenerative heat exchanger — A regenerative heat exchanger, or more commonly a regenerator, is a type of heat exchanger where the flow through the heat exchanger is cyclical and periodically changes direction. It is similar to a countercurrent heat exchanger. However, a… … Wikipedia
Micro heat exchanger — Micro heat exchangers, Micro scale heat exchangers, or microstructured heat exchangers are heat exchangers in which (at least one) fluid flows in lateral confinements with typical dimensions below 1 mm. The most typical such confinement are… … Wikipedia
Concentric tube heat exchanger — Concentric Tube (or Pipe) Heat Exchangers are used in a variety of industries for purposes such as material processing, food preparation and air conditioning.[1] They create a temperature driving force by passing fluid streams of different… … Wikipedia
Shell and tube heat exchanger — A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. [ cite book|author=Sadik Kakaç and Hongtan Liu|title=Heat Exchangers: Selection, Rating and Thermal Design|edition=2nd Edition|publisher=CRC Press|year=2002|id=ISBN 0849309026] … Wikipedia
Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger — The dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger (DSSHE) was designed to face some problems found in other types of heat exchangers. They increase heat transfer by: removing the fouling layers, increasing turbulence in case of high viscosity flow,… … Wikipedia
Ground-coupled heat exchanger — Earth cooling tubes or earth warming tubes (also known as ground coupled heat exchangers) utilize the earth s near constant subterranean temperature to warm or cool air for residential, agricultural or industrial uses. They are often a viable and … Wikipedia
Moving bed heat exchanger — Moving bed heat exchangers (also moving bed coolers) are stationary heat exchangers for bulk materials for continuous processes in chemical engineering. Contents 1 Construction 2 Function 3 Applications 4 Technical specifi … Wikipedia
Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change … Wikipedia
Heat recovery ventilation — (also known as a heat exchanger, air exchanger or air to air exchanger) is a ventilation system that employs a counter flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow. HRV provide fresh air and improved climate control, while also… … Wikipedia
