What Are The Different Types Of Heat Exchanger?

Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Or Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

Suitable for: air/gas to fluid

A finned tube heat exchanger, air cooled heat exchanger (ACHE), cooler or dryer works by flowing a liquid into a series of tubes, whilst pumping gas or air around or over the pipework to cool the fluid down.

Sometimes finned tube heat exchangers, ACHEs, coolers or dryers are enclosed in duct work, and sometimes they are fully exposed with air flowing over them. The efficiency of these units comes from the extended surface – the fins – that protrude into the air/gas flow and improve the heat transfer ability of the structure.
