Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 18 pages
A heat exchanger transfers heat from one fluid to another. Without heat exchangers, many of the products that we use today would not be possible. Without a radiator (which is a heat exchanger), vehicles would quickly overheat. Without an evaporator (another heat exchanger), you would not have the comfort of air conditioning in your home. Because of the importance of heat exchangers in the design of so many processes and systems, it is important that the engineer possess at least a basic knowledge of the types of heat exchangers and how they operate.
This course covers the fundamentals of heat exchangers, including the different types and how they operate.
