Eleven Questions about Air Coolers, Heat Exchangers and Condensers

Eleven Questions about Air Coolers, Heat Exchangers and Condensers


1. What are the basic types of air coolers?
The basic types of air coolers are: horizontal air coolers, vertical air coolers, inclined air coolers.

2. How to classify air coolers according to the cooling method?
As per cooling method, air coolers can be divided into: dry air coolers, wet air coolers, dry and wet combined air coolers, spray air coolers on both sides.

3. How to classify air coolers according to the type of their tube bundle layout?
According to tube bundle arrangement, air coolers can be divided into: horizontal air coolers, inclined top air coolers, vertical air coolers and ring-type air coolers.

4. What are the types of air coolers by ventilation method?
They can be divided into: natural air coolers, blast air coolers, wind air coolers.

5. How are heat-pipe heat exchangers classified according to the state of hot and cold fluids?
According to the state of hot fluid and cold fluid, heat-pipe heat exchangers can be divided into gas-gas types, gas-liquid types, liquid-liquid types and liquid-gas types.

6. How are heat-pipe heat exchangers classified according to their structure?
According to the structure, the heat-pipe heat exchangers can be divided into integral types, separated types, rotary types and combined types.

7. How are reboiler heat exchangers classified?
According to types, installation location and operation mode of reboilers, they can be divided into the following six forms:
(1) Kettle type reboilers
(2) Forced circulation reboilers
(3) One-way circulation thermosiphon type vertical reboilers
(4) Natural circulation thermosiphon vertical reboilers
(5) One-way cycle thermosiphon horizontal reboilers
(6) Natural circulation thermosiphon horizontal reboilers

8. How to classify tube heat exchangers?
According to different structural forms, they can be roughly divided into coiled tube heat exchangers, sleeve-type exchangers, wound tube heat exchangers, and tube-shell heat exchangers.

9. What are the main types of shell and tube heat exchangers?
The shell-and-tube heat exchangers connect the tube and the tube sheet, and then fix it with the shell. Their types are mainly divided into fixed tube sheet types, kettle-type floating head types, U-shaped tube types, sliding tube plate types, stuffing box types and casing types.

10. According to the structure, which types of shell-and-tube heat exchangers can be divided?
The shell and tube heat exchangers are mainly classified according to the structural form: AES, BES floating head heat exchangers, BEM fixed tube plate heat exchangers, BIUU tube heat exchangers, AKT kettle type reboilers, and AJW filler split heat exchangers.

11. How to classify condensers?
According to different types of coolants, condensers can be classified into four categories, namely water-cooled condensers, air-cooled condensers, water-air-cooled condensers (that is, evaporative and water-cooled) and condensers cooled by other process media.
