How to select the most appropriate type of heat exchanger for this purpose? Let’s discuss it together

There is a combined feed heat exchanger, with design operating parameters roughly as follows； The pressure is around 0.15 Mpa, the maximum temperature is 270 degrees, and the materials on both sides are identical, being kerosene with C7–C14 components. It’s necessary to determine what type of heat exchanger would be suitable. Condensation occurs on the hot side, and vaporization occurs on the cold side. Everything condenses its energy. Please share your suggestions or similar use cases; thank you! There are roughly three options: 1. Plate type, 2. Coiled tube type, 3. Coiled plate type
It seems that the coiled tube is a bit more efficient
If there is no non-condensable gas on either side, it is still recommended to use a plate heat exchanger, as it offers high efficiency and occupies less space

There is phase change on both sides, so the heat absorption should be high; the area of the heat exchanger does not need to be large – a conventional shell-and-tube heat exchanger will suffice, as it is the most common type and easy to clean.
