Air-water heat exchanger

Tubes wound into a spiral shape Coaxial heat exchangers consist of two or more pipe coils, which are routed into one another and wound up in a spiral shape. The primary medium runs in countercurrent to the secondary medium. Fast temperature exchange This countercurrent design achieves a very rapid temperature transition with high efficiency between the liquids. Due to the spiral shape, the rapid temperature exchange between the liquids is achieved in a very small space. No cleaning or maintenance required Another advantage is the encapsulation of both liquids from environmental influences. There is practically no cleaning or maintenance effort due to pollution from the environment. The coaxial heat exchanger also does not require any seals that require maintenance. Condenser or evaporator function Coaxial heat exchangers can be used for both condenser and evaporator functions.

Temperature exchange between a gas and a liquid In the case of air-water heat exchangers (also called gas-water heat exchangers), there is a temperature exchange between a gas (usually air) and a liquid. Finned heat exchangers can cover various areas of application: - heating and evaporating, - cooling and condensing as well as heat recovery. In this context, lamellar heat exchangers are also called air heaters or air coolers. Air-water heat exchangers are often also used as exhaust gas heat exchangers or flue gas heat exchangers in order to recover the energy from warm or hot exhaust gases. Lamella packs for a large exchange area In order to achieve the largest possible exchange surface between the air and the medium (liquid) within the heat exchanger, lamellas or lamella packs are attached to the pipe system.

Temperature control of liquids Tube coil heat exchangers (so-called tube cooling coil heat exchangers) are generally used to control the temperature of liquids. This system can also be used to heat or cool liquids in a controlled manner. Due to their special shape, pipe coil heat exchangers are sometimes also called hairpin heat exchangers. Inexpensive applications The simple and solid structure enables it to be used in cost-effective applications. Coiled tube evaporator systems are ideally suited for brine and glycol applications. Classic variant Coiled tube evaporator systems are a classic and proven variant in the field of heat exchanger systems. Coiled tube heat exchangers are often used in ice storage systems or in the production of cold water units. In ice storage systems, coils can be used to achieve an even build-up of ice around the coils.

Air-water / air-air heat exchanger as smooth tube heat exchanger up to 1,000 ° C Smooth tube heat exchanger as an air / water heat exchanger In the case of air-water heat exchangers (also called gas-water heat exchangers), a temperature exchange takes place between a gas (usually air) and a liquid. As a rule, the liquid medium flows inside the pipes, while the gaseous medium flows around the pipes outside the pipes. Smooth tube heat exchangers can cover various areas of application: heating, cooling and condensing as well as heat recovery. Smooth tube heat exchanger as air-to-air heat exchanger Smooth tube heat exchangers are also often used as air-to-air heat exchangers. In this application, a gas (e.g. exhaust air or exhaust gases) flows inside the pipes and a gas (e.g. fresh air) outside the pipes around the pipes.
