What are the minimum and maximum temperatures of a heat exchanger?
The temperature limits of a heat exchanger depend on:
- Choice of materials (e.g. stainless steel or special alloys)
- Gaskets (in plate heat exchangers)
- Design pressure and construction
Depending on the type, heat exchangers may be suitable for cryogenic applications down to temperatures above 800°C in industrial processes. We also have experience with cryogenic applications involving liquid nitrogen at around -200°C and liquid hydrogen at around -250°C.
