Heat Exchanger Inspection Testing and Cleaning Techniques

Introduction

A heat exchanger is a component that allows the transfer of heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to another fluid. Reasons for heat transfer include the following:

  • To heat a cooler fluid by means of a hotter fluid
  • To reduce the temperature of hot fluid by means of a cooler fluid
  • To boil a liquid by means of a hotter fluid
  • To condense a gaseous fluid by means of a cooler fluid
  • To boil a liquid while condensing a hotter gaseous fluid
