Heat Exchangers
Abstract
There are many heat exchangers on traditional oil and gas or bulk chemical process plants, though they are less common in some other industries, such as food and pharmaceuticals. The traditional standard type of heat exchanger is the shell and tube, though there are many variants of this design, and many other types of heat exchanger more suited to applications such as hygienic duty. The various kinds of heat exchanger generally have similar layout requirements, but there are some variations between types which the plant layout designer should be aware of.
