Type of Heat Exchanger

 There are several types of heat exchangers used in HVAC systems, including:




1. Coil Type:

    - Chilled water coils

    - Hot water coils

    - DX (direct expansion) coils

    - Evaporator coils

    - Condenser coils

2. Shell and Tube Type:

    - U-tube heat exchangers

    - Straight tube heat exchangers

3. Plate Type:

    - Plate and frame heat exchangers

    - Plate and shell heat exchangers

4. Finned Tube Type:

    - Finned tube heat exchangers

5. Spiral Type:

    - Spiral heat exchangers

6. Regenerative Type:

    - Regenerative heat exchangers

7. Adiabatic Type:

    - Adiabatic wheel heat exchangers

8. Run-Around Coil Type:

    - Run-around coil heat exchangers


These heat exchangers are used in various applications, including:


- Air conditioning

- Heating

- Ventilation

- Refrigeration

- Heat recovery

- Industrial processes


Each type of heat exchanger has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is suited for specific applications.

VALVES USED IN A CHILLER SYSTEM AND THE TYPICAL VALVE PACKAGE

  VALVES USED IN A CHILLER SYSTEM AND THE TYPICAL VALVE PACKAGE 1.Chilled Water Side Valves ⇒Isolation valve (manual/electric actuated). ⇒ Installed on CHW supply and return lines.  ⇒ Used to isolate chiller for maintenance. 2. Balancing Valve (Manual or Automatic)  ⇒ Ensures correct flow rate to/from chiller.  ⇒ Helps maintain Delta T and proper flow distribution.  ⇒ Located after evaporator outlet (return line). 3. Differential Pressure Bypass Valve (if 2-way valves in system)  ⇒ Prevents excess pressure build-up when terminals shut.  ⇒ Maintains flow through chiller. 4. Flow Switch  ⇒ Senses chilled water flow across evaporator.  ⇒ Safety interlock: trips chiller if flow is lost.  ⇒ Usually paddle type or electronic. 5. Air Vent Valve (Manual or Automatic)  ⇒ Removes air pockets.  ⇒ Placed at high points of piping and chiller headers. 6. Drain Valve  ⇒ For flushing, cleaning, and maintenance.  ⇒ Located at low poin...
