Question

Which type of heat exchanger shell and tube or plate heat exchanger is suitable for evaporation?

Answer 1

Answer:

shell and tube type heat exchanger

Explanation:

for evaporation the shell and tube type heat exchanger is best suited.

• in the plate heat exchanger there is gaskets in between every part so this part become weak part in heat echanger and there is possibilities of leakage through this part, there is no such problem in shell and tube type.
• the plate type cant be used when there is high temperature and high pressure drop but shell and tube type can be used
• in evaporation there the liquids change into vapors due to which there is sudden change in pressure and in which plate type is not used because there is chances of leakage
