Description
Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from a hotter fluid (liquid or gas) to a colder fluid (liquid or gas). This broad definition encompasses a wide array of equipment, including boilers, condensers, distilling plants, and ventilation cooling coils, which are given detailed coverage in other chapters. Consequently, this chapter if focused upon the many other types of shell-and-tube, plate, and compact heat exchangers that are used aboard ships and includes an assessment of thermal design, mechanical design, and design-for-manufacture considerations.
