Heat exchangers are typically used to transfer heat between fluids using conduction, convection, and radiation. This course details the three heat transferring methods used by heat exchangers as well as how heat exchangers are classified. It also illustrates common heat exchangers types such as shell-and-tube, plate, extended surface, and regenerative heat exchangers.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose of heat exchangers
  • Differentiate between co-current and counter-current flow arrangements
  • List some variables which affect heat transfer
  • Describe the construction of a typical heat exchanger
  • Describe different exchanger types and their strengths

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is a heat exchanger?
Heat exchangers are typically used to transfer heat between fluids, and their theory of operation is based on the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

What is the definition of heat transfer?
Heat transfer is defined as the transmission of energy from one region to another as a result of a temperature difference between them.

How are heat exchangers classified?
Heat exchangers can be classified in several different ways, and include: transfer process, design and construction, flow arrangement, and surface compactness.

What variables determine the rate of heat transfer in a heat exchanger?
The rate of heat transfer in a heat exchanger depends on: surface area of the contacting surface, the temperature different between the two fluids, and the thermal conductivity of the surface materials and the heat transfer coefficient.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

Heat exchangers can also be classified by their design and construction. There are four basic designs. One, tubular. Two, plate. Three, extended surface. And four, regenerative. A tubular heat exchanger consists of a set of tubes, the tube bundle typically contained within a shell. Thus, the name Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger. The tubes contain one fluid and the second fluid runs over or around the tubes, to either supply heat to or remove heat from the tube surfaces.

Customer Q&A

Ask a Question

Sorry, we're missing some information

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provided.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
