Heat exchangers

Plate, coil, and shell heat exchangers isolate loops and transfer thermal energy across the cooling chain.

Role in the thermal chain

Transfer heat between cooling loops without mixing their fluids.

Approach temperature, pressure drop, fouling, materials, water quality, and service access determine how a heat exchanger affects system capacity and efficiency.
