The Most Well Known Model of Heat Exchangers Is Not Known to The Common Consumer

The most well known model of heat exchangers is not known to the common consumer as a heat exchanger at all, although once the mechanics of either a boiler or heat exchanger are understood it is very evident that they are one and the same. Both utilize one element, such as water to make energy for another element, such as air. A boiler is produced in an industrial context but is used just as often in a residential context, and is basically the colloquial name for various heat exchanger models. Boilers may be plate and frame models, coil heat exchangers or spiral heat exchanger, all depending on the specific application and when the boiler was installed. Like everything else, popular models run in fads. A boiler is basically defined as basically defined as a system that heats air or water for energy, to be used to fuel something else or to use the energy directly like when it heats air and then shoots it into a predetermined space. Boiler refers to the heating process, and how extreme heat is characterized by boiling. However, a real boiler does not always reach a boiling point, depending on the application. If the point is to produce steam for powering something else then it will boil, but if it is heating water for the piping, then it won't. Different models of heat exchangers may serve as residential boilers. The two major models are the coil heat exchanger and the plate heat exchanger. With a coil system that utilizes two different liquids or gases, one to heat up the other one, coil heat exchangers are simply designed and very effective and therefore often found as specific boiler models. The plate heat exchanger functions by way of a series of heated surfaces, or plates that are able to heat or cool a liquid that cycles over and around them. Source: heatexchangers.org
