The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA) is an association of manufacturers of shell and tube heat exchangers. TEMA has established a set of construction standards for Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers. The Standards are regularly updated and published; the most recent edition is the seventh, published in 1988. Most shell Read more…
The double pipe heat exchanger is, in its simplest form, one pipe held concentrically inside of a larger diameter pipe. The one fluid flows through the inner pipe which also acts as a conductive barrier and the other flows around through the annulus of the inner and outer pipe. The Read more…
A cooling tower is heat rejection equipment that is used to reject the waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream. They generally use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid (normally cooling water) to near the wet-bulb air temperature. Read more…
In the broader term, heat exchangers are classified into four different metrics. The nature of the Heat Exchange Process The physical state of the fluids The heat exchanger’s flow arrangement The design and construction of the heat exchangers 1. Nature of the Heat Exchange Process This is one of the Read more…
