- a heat exchanger is a flow distribution device that for example can be used for transferring heat between two or more fluids.
- a helical coil heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses a coil which is helically wound around a core. The coil and the core are usually located in an elongated shell which has an axial inlet at one end thereof and an axial outlet at an opposite end.
- the coil, or tube is hollow, and typically has a radial inlet portion and a radial outlet portion extending through the shell.
- a first fluid is configured to flow through the coil and a second fluid is configured to flow in the shell outside the coil from the inlet to the outlet, in thermal contact with the coil. Heat exchange is thus provided between the two fluids by generally coaxial fluid flow.
- An advantage with a helical coil heat exchanger is that the coil length is much longer than the length of the shell, i.e. the length of the heat exchanger, making heat exchange more efficient.
- the coil length is much longer than the length of the shell, i.e. the length of the heat exchanger, making heat exchange more efficient.
