Which type of heat exchanger is best suited to my process?

The right heat exchanger depends on the characteristics of your process and the required performance. Factors such as the medium, flow rate, temperature, pressure, susceptibility to fouling, available space and maintenance requirements play an important role in this.

Common solutions include plate heat exchangers, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers and spiral heat exchangers. Each type has its own advantages in terms of heat transfer, pressure drop, cleanability and capital costs.

At Kapp, we analyse all your process data and, based on this, recommend the heat exchanger that is best suited to your application, both technically and economically. In doing so, we consider not only the purchase cost, but also energy consumption, maintenance and the total cost of ownership.
