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.
