Heat exchanger is a very important equipment in processing industry. A ‘heat exchanger’ may be defined as equipment that transfers the energy from a hot fluid to a cold fluid. The process of heating or cooling occurs in the heat exchanger. In heat exchangers the temperature of each fluid changes as it passes through the [...]
The answer to who invented the electric water heater begins around 1850 with an experiment that was created in which both water and bath, on the underneath side, were heated by gas jets. An Englishman Benjamin Maughan, however in 1868 invented the first instant water heater called “The Geyser”, a device where the water was [...]
One type of heating system that is starting to gain popularity in home construction, is the installation of geothermal heat pumps (also called GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground source or water-source heat pump). Basically this system replaces all fuel-fed furnaces and air conditioners by having a pump buried deep in the ground. The pump circulates hot and [...]
A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer heat from one fluid to another fluid and at the same time preventing the two fluids from coming in contact with one another. There are three main types of heat exchanger. They are as follows: air-cooled shell and tube plate heat exchangers Dividing the [...]
