Classify heat exchangers according to flow type, and explain the characteristics of each type.

What will be an ideal response?


Heat exchangers are classified according to the flow type as parallel flow, counter flow, and cross-flow arrangement. In parallel flow, both the hot and cold fluids enter the heat exchanger at the same end and move in the same direction. In counter-flow, the hot and cold fluids enter the heat exchanger at opposite ends and flow in opposite direction. In cross-flow, the hot and cold fluid streams move perpendicular to each other.
