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 .

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, f...

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-...

Organic Food and its increasing consumer demand

Organic Food Processing is where organic raw materials are processed into food and drink. The organics standard of food processing is to protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary chemical or physical. Organic labeling offers consumers, the confidence that the eatables they consume are produced under controlled organic standards. Organic food should be of high nutritional and high natural quality. With the growing awareness even the governments of various countries have setup a separate body to monitor the whole Organic Processing System, in India that being National Program for Organic Production (NPOP). India is one of the upcoming leading processors in this sector. Some private standards demand that organic food should fulfill the criteria of wholesome nutrition, where processing methods must be seen as relevant tools. Most processing methods have more or less strong influences on product properties. Heat...
