What factors are used to select a heat exchanger?
There are various factors to consider when selecting a heat exchanger, the main ones being: 1) Heat load and flow rate； 2) Properties of the fluid ； 3) Range of temperature, pressure, and allowable pressure drop ； 4) Requirements for cleaning and maintenance ； 5) Equipment structure, materials, dimensions, weight ； 6) Price, safety in use, and lifespan.
Heat exchangers are selected based on factors such as the medium, temperature, pressure, and flow rate.
1) Select the heat exchange area based on the heat load； 2) Properties of the heat exchange medium ； 3) Temperature, pressure, and pressure drop of the medium ；
