The cooling medium is normally water, chilled water, or cold brine. Brine (a solution of salt in water) is used because it freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. Sometimes liquids are cooled by circulating them through pipes exposed the atmosphere; this is called an air-cooled heat exchanger.1 The cooling process is speeded if a fan is used to blow cool air rapidly over the tubes. Text: When a shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used for cooling, the material to be cooled may be either on the tubeside or the shellside, with the cooling medium the other side. 2 If one of the two liquids is more corrosive than the others (brine, for example, can be corrosive) it is usually on the tubeside. Text: The tubes can then be made of a corrosion-resistant material, with a cheaper material for the shell. If a corrosive material is used on the shellside—in contact with both the inner surface of the shell and the outer surface of the tubes---both the tubes and shell must be able to withstand corrosion. 3 Text: It is possible to operate shell-and-tube heat exchangers in either the horizontal or vertical position, but horizontal exchangers are most common. When steam is used for heating, it is always introduced through the upper opening, or nozzle, in the shell, so that the lower opening can be used for draining condensate. Text: If a pool of condensate builds up in such an exchanger (usually due to malfunctioning functioning or wrongly sized steam trap) and submerges some of the tubes, the heat transfer suffers because condensing steam transfers heat more rapidly than does hot water. 4 When a liquid is used o
