FOR SLIDE * There are 2 types of of contact in heat exchanger : 1) Direct contact type – two immiscible fluids (gas and liquid) come in direct contact with each other and exchanged heat. For Evaporation, Condensing and Cooling Apparatus Examples : stream heat exchanger, stream influence heat exchanger. 2) Indirect contact type – the hot and cold fluids are separated from each other by a solid wall and heat is transferred from one fluid to the other across this wall. Examples : tubular, plate-type and extended surface exchanger * Plate heat exchanger used metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. * They are most common in the dairy, beverage, general food processing, and the pharmaceutical industries where this ease of cleaning and the thermal control required for sterilization or pasteurization makes them ideal. * Other functions beside used in food industry, they are also used in synthetic rubber industry, paper mills and petrochemical plants and in process heaters, coolers and closed-circuit cooling systems. FOR PRESENTATION * There are 2 types of of contact in heat exchanger : 1. Direct contact type – two immiscible fluids (gas and liquid) come in direct contact with each other and exchanged heat. For Evaporation, Condensing and Cooling Apparatus such as air and water exchanging heat in a cooling water. Examples : stream heat exchanger, stream influence heat exchanger. 2.
