[187 Pages Report] The Heat Exchangers Market size was estimated at USD 20.78 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 22.82 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 9.90% to reach USD 40.25 billion by 2030.
Heat exchangers are devices that facilitate the process of heat exchange between two fluids that are at distinct temperatures. The fluids can be single or two-phase, and depending on the exchanger type, these fluids are separated or in direct contact. Heat exchangers find applications in refrigeration, heating and air conditioning, food processing, power plants, automobile radiators, chemical processing systems, and waste heat recovery units. The heat exchangers market is driven by increasing demand for sustainable and low energy consumption heat exchangers, increased investments in manufacturing, and commercial & industrial projects. However, stringent environmental regulations hinder the expansion of the heat exchanger market. An increasing number of nuclear power plants is expected to necessitate advancements in heat exchanger technology, opening up new avenues for market expansion.
Type: Emerging applications of regenerative heat exchanger
An adiabatic wheel heat exchanger comprises a rotating wheel and an intermediate fluid that stores and assists in heat exchange. Pre-cooling ventilation air in buildings to reduce the load on air conditioning systems is one of the applications of an adiabatic wheel heat exchanger. Air-cooled heat exchangers are made of finned tubes in which various fluids are cooled or condensed and are utilized for cooling engine oil in automobiles. The plate heat exchanger is well-suited for transferring heat between medium- & low-pressure fluids and is utilized for heating or cooling water in domestic hot water systems. A regenerative heat exchanger is a kind of heat exchanger in which heat from the hot fluid is stored at intervals in a thermal storage medium before transferring to the cold fluid and is widely utilized for heating or cooling water in domestic hot water systems. A shell and tube heat exchanger made of a series of tubes housed within a cylindrical container termed a ’shell.’
Style: Significant adoption of coolers & evaporators
Condensers work by turning hot gas or vapor into a liquid through cooling. Coolers & Evaporators are similar to condensers and are utilized to cool down liquids or gasses. Coolers & evaporators evaporate a liquid refrigerant, which absorbs heat from the surrounding air and transforms it into a gas. Fin-tube heat exchangers utilize fins attached to tubes to increase the surface area for heat transfer and are often utilized in air conditioning units or car radiators. Radiators are designed for radiant heat transfer and give off a second type of heat, known as radiant heat.
Heat Transferring Process: Adoption of liquid-to-gas heat-transferring in power plants
In the gas-to-gas heat exchanging process, thermal energy is transferred between two gaseous media. This process is often utilized when both the heating and cooling fluids are gasses, such as in waste heat recovery systems in power plants or various industrial processes where flue gas heat is recovered and utilized. The liquid-to-gas heat exchanging process involves the transfer of heat from a liquid medium to a gas medium or vice versa. This is common in refrigeration and air conditioning systems where a refrigerant transitions from a liquid to a gas while absorbing heat from the surroundings. It’s also used in chemical processing and power generation, where steam is often utilized to heat or cool various liquids. The liquid-to-liquid heat exchanging process occurs between two liquid mediums. This method is extensively used for applications including cooling and heating in food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and the petrochemical industry, where it is imperative to maintain precise temperature controls of various liquid streams.
End-use: High penetration of heat exchanger in industrial sector
Commercial heat exchangers are widely used in various applications such as HVAC systems, refrigeration, and hot water supply for buildings. The transfer of heat ensures comfortable temperatures in buildings such as offices and retail spaces. As data centers generate a large amount of heat from servers and equipment, efficient heat exchangers are required to maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating and issues associated with performance. The industrial sector demands heat exchangers that are capable of handling high-pressure conditions and corrosive substances while providing high thermal efficiency and durability in harsh environments. In the industrial sector, heat exchangers play a crucial role in a variety of chemical processes, controlling temperatures for reactions, separations, and distillations. In the oil & gas production processes, the heat exchanger plays a crucial role in hot oil/heat transfer systems, fuel gas conditioning skids, cold ammonia flow control, lube oil systems, and SCR units. The crude oil distillation and subsequent refining processes in refineries also require heat exchangers. The power plants utilize heat exchangers to collect heat from hot waste gasses to get power. In the production of metals and alloys, heat exchangers are utilized to heat, cool, and temperature-hold various baths. The food & beverage industry relies majorly on heat exchangers for processes such as sterilization, pasteurization, and temperature control during the preparation of ingredients and product manufacturing.
