HEAT EXCHANGERS DEFINITION A heat exchanger is any device in which heat is Acansferted between a warmer and cdder substonce, vsvally Aids. Figt shows the simplest form ef a double - pipe heat exchanger. Section AA Figure 1. A double—pipe heat exchanyty TYPES Recording to Keeith eb al, the heat exchangers can be chasifed into Moree types: 4) RECUPERATORS In these devices the hot and cad fluids are separated by @ Wall, and heat is hans fered ey Q Combination of con, veclion to and fiom the wall and conduction throagh the Usall.
