Choosing an Immersion Heat Exchanger

Details of a heat exchanger’s type, size, and composition must be considered from the beginning.   Immersion heat exchangers offer serpentine coils, u coils, pipe coils, grid or plate coils.  Immersion heat exchangers are a popular choice due to economic pricing and the ability to fit large and small systems.

Once you choose the type of heat exchanger you need, the materials of composition must be considered.  Heat exchanger production is contingent on finding a good mixture of economy and performance.  Fluoropolymers such as PTFE can be used to produce high-quality heat exchangers.  Buyers want to purchase exchangers made of material that can withstand highly-corrosive atmospheres.

There are a number of factors to consider regarding how well the heat exchanger will work.  For one, the effectiveness of the exchanger will be contingent on how quickly liquid gets heated.  Secondly, how well the heated pool can be maintained is also a point of concern.  In addition, any work being performed in the pool of liquid will distract from the heat of the pool.  Lastly, the overall size in square feet of the heat exchanger plays a determinant on performance.
