Factors To Consider When Choosing A Heat Exchanger

Heat exchangers are used in the simplest as well as the most complex chemical process systems, in order to carry out the basic but critical function of efficiently transferring heat from one medium to another. But, wIth so many exchanging units out there designed for various applications, deciding which system is right for your application can be tricky. Here are a few considerations, which can help you choose from the best Brazepak heatexchangers.
 
Application and operating conditions– It is very important to know how the heat exchanger would perform to carry out your process objectives. For example, it may be used for condensing, boiling, etc. The pressure and temperature ranges under which the exchanger will be used also carries a lot of significance.
  • Utilities connection and material of construction - Know whether the heat exchanger will require accessibility to cooling water, steam, hot oil, etc. The material used in the manufacturing of exchanger should preferably be corrosion resistant to prevent heating/cooling medium’s predisposition to fouling. You can find a standard exchanger but it may not offer you corrosion resistance.
  • Area– It is important to ensure that the system layout and floorplan do not prohibit the use of the model of heat exchanger you are looking to buy. Also, it is vital to know what type of carbon footprint does the exchanger leaves
When deciding how much you want to spend on a heat exchanger, take into account installation cost, operating cost, and maintenance cost.
