Understanding Concept and Application of Heat Exchangers

In this article let’s try to understand that, what is the heat exchanger and why to consider it, the former definition of that says it is a device that channelizes the heat from one medium to other medium, either by direct contact or by means of the induction.
Virtually all major industrial processes such as heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical processing plant , plastic, rubber, pharmaceutical, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment finds the application of the heat exchanger some or the other way. The efficiency and the rate of the transfer of the thermal energy of heat exchanger plays very critical role in the performance of the heating, drying and cooling.
The heat exchangers are generally of three basic classifications based on the heat flow

  • Parallel flow: where the fluids runs in same direction, parallel to each other.
  • Counter flow: where the fluid runs in opposite direction. 
  • Cross flow: where the fluids travel perpendicular to each other. 

Heat exchangers are also classified based on the construction:

  • Shell and tube heat exchanger
  • Plate heat exchanger
  • Plate and shell heat exchanger
  • Fluid heat exchangers
  • Plate fin heat exchanger  
  • Regenerative Heat Exchanger

Transfer of the heat for the diverse applications such as water to water, air to water, water to air, and air to air.
Heat exchanger avoids the direct contact hence high temperatures can not cause overheating but they could potentially start a fire in a unit if the temperature remains too hot for a period of time. Heat exchanges are used in a diverseness of industries such as home appliances, heating and cooling, marine and boating, ventilation and air flow, industrial manufacturing and many more. So many of the items that we use every day contain a heat exchanger in them and we never really think about the role that they play in these pieces.
You can ask the experts such as KERONE those are pioneer in manufacturing and designing of heat exchanger they will tell you how much this is important and what it exactly does when designed properly and consequences if not properly designed and taken care. We can be reached at info@kerone.com .

Artificial Intelligence (A.I) in Food Industry

  When discussing about the food industry, technology isn’t generally the first thought that comes to mind. But these days, technology in the food industry is a required part of   food production   and delivery processes. We find food through applications, and manufacturers produce it with the help of robotics and data processing. Tech could remarkably enhance packaging, increasing shelf life and food safety. The eminence of food is also improving while manufacturing costs are less. Knowing what better to produce in huge amount of numbers is the key to increase revenue. Customer and market insistence are changing very fast, so it is even more important to be one-step ahead of the competition. Explaining the most habitual tastes and preferences is the most praised thing for a food business owner as well as for a food manufacturer. For example, the newest trends in food tech are attached to a stream of healthy lifestyle followers. In order to recognize them,  Machine Learning  utilizes t

Different Types of Sterilization Process

  Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization:  Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, failure of

Microwave Continuous Vulcanization (CV) Rubber Curing Oven

Vulcanization is process of converting natural rubber or rubber polymers into more durable and mechanically strengthens rubber by the process of mixing sulfur and processing. This process results in changing the cross-linking bonds within the natural rubber and making bonds more strong and non-sticky.  Vulcanization curing is achieved by heating the natural rubber or rubber polymer at very high temperature along with sulfur or any other agent, such high level of temperature rise results into changing of bond within the rubber and resulting in non-sticky, maker it lesser deformable when heated, and removes the brittleness this helps rubber to achieve the desired level of elasticity. Continuous Vulcanization curingprocess is most common process used for variety of application. In the process Continuous Vulcanization curing rubber and accelerator is put under high temperature and pressure, this mixture is passed through the continuous heating line during the process, some of C-H bo
