A floating head exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that is
commonly used in industries such as oil refining, chemical
processing, and power generation. It is designed to efficiently
transfer heat between two fluids, typically a hot fluid and a cold
fluid, without mixing them.
The floating head exchanger consists of a shell and tube
arrangement, where one fluid flows through the tubes while the
other fluid flows through the shell. The tubes are attached to a
floating head, which allows for thermal expansion and contraction
of the tubes without causing stress or damage.
The hot fluid enters the exchanger through the shell side and flows
over the tubes, transferring heat to the cold fluid inside the
tubes. The two fluids remain separated by the tube walls,
preventing any mixing. The floating head design allows for easy
access to the tubes for cleaning, maintenance, and inspection.
Floating head exchangers are known for their high heat transfer
efficiency, as the floating head design minimizes thermal stresses
and allows for optimal heat transfer between the fluids. They are
also versatile and can handle a wide range of operating conditions
and fluid types.
Floating head exchangers are a reliable and efficient solution for
heat transfer in various industrial applications, providing
effective heat exchange while maintaining the integrity and
separation of the two fluids.
