Put simply, a heat exchanger is a device which transfers heat from one medium to another, a Hydraulic Oil Cooler or example will remove heat from hot oil by using cold water or air. Alternatively, a Swimming Pool Heat Exchanger uses hot water from a boiler or solar-heated water circuit to heat the pool water. Heat is transferred by conduction through the exchanger materials which separate the mediums being used. A shell and tube heat exchanger passes fluids through and over tubes, where as an air-cooled heat exchanger passes cool air through a core of fins to cool a liquid.

2. What types of Heat Exchanger are available?

There are many different types of heat exchanger available, the three main types that Thermex supplies are;

Shell and Tube; Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers comprise of an enormous number of little cylinders which are situated inside a barrel shaped shell. The cylinders are situated into the chamber utilizing a cylinder group or "cylinder stack" which can either have fixed cylinder plates (for all time fixed to the body) or, on account of Thermex Heat Exchangers a gliding tube stack which permits the cylinder pack to extend and contract with changing heat conditions just as permitting the cylinder pack to be effectively eliminated for overhauling and support.

Shell and Tube; Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers comprise of countless little cylinders which are situated inside a tube shaped shell. The cylinders are situated into the chamber utilizing a cylinder pack or "cylinder stack" which can either have fixed cylinder plates (for all time fixed to the body) or, on account of Thermex Heat Exchangers a gliding tube stack which permits the cylinder group to grow and contract with shifting heat conditions just as permitting the cylinder group to be handily taken out for overhauling and upkeep.

Plate Type; Air Cooled Heat Exchangers are usually utilized in vehicles or other portable applications where no perpetual cool water source is accessible. Thermex plans and supplies mix cooling packs (or combi-coolers) which consolidate a motor coat water cooler, oil cooler and charge air cooler into a solitary unit decreasing space necessities and improving effectiveness. Cool air is given either by a fan or via wind stream brought about by the development of the vehicle.
