Recuperation tube exchangers

The recuperation tube heat exchanger is continuously working equipment, which exchanges heat energy between liquids. In the industry, it is used in many processes connected with cooling, freezing, heating, evaporating, condensation, sublimation or crystallisation. They are suitable for applications that incorporate recycling of thermal energy from waste flows in technological processes, thus enhancing eco-friendliness and economy of production. In situations where the medium is not subject to phase transformation, the pipe-in-pipe concept is more frequently used.

The advantage of this type is simplicity of the structure and relatively low space requirements. Otherwise, more efficient bundle exchangers are used. Both types of the recuperation exchangers can work in parallel-flow or counterflow configuration.
