What is the relationship between the heat exchange area and weight of a heat exchanger, as well as its price?

Experts, is there any direct relationship between the heat exchange area of a heat exchanger and its price? I saw that others’ quotes are based on the heat exchange area. Our company produces few heat exchangers, and such devices are also rare to see; I am seeking help from all of you experts here.
The price is generally related to the weight of the heat exchanger, and the weight is directly connected to the heat exchange area. For example, for carbon steel shell-and-tube heat exchangers, the price is usually between 12,000 and 13,500 yuan per ton; knowing the weight allows one to estimate the price approximately
:hug: Looking forward to industry professionals providing a detailed explanation of the methods and steps for evaluating the price of heat exchangers :lol
I also want to know that for our current finned tube heat exchangers, the price per square meter is roughly between 100 and 140. I’m not sure if this is a high price or not. Additionally, I’d like to know how to determine the price of shell and tube heat exchangers The materials are as follows: cooling tube 304, tube sheet: Q345R, shell 20; weight 680 KG
Reply to 4# qxy0260: When pricing finned tubes per square meter, factors such as the complexity of the structure of the finned tube heat exchanger, the materials used for various components of the finned tubes, and the weights of different material components in the outer shell of the tube bundle must be taken into account. Therefore, specifying a price per square meter alone has no practical value. At the very least, specify what specifications the finned tube has, the material of the fins, and so on.
There is a certain relationship, but the price is generally calculated based on weight
