The main differences between these heat exchangers are based on the fluid flow direction and the temperature diagram. Due to the design and configuration of exchangers, it is hard to find only one flow type, and there is a combination of several flow directions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Parallel Flow Heat Exchanger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This type of heat exchanger has the same direction of the flow for the fluids. As can be seen in the figure below, the inlets are in one head, and the outlets are on the other side. Fluids have the heat transfer along the surface from inlets to the outlets, and temperatures get close to each other.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Counter Flow Heat Exchanger<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this type of exchanger, we have opposite directions of flows for the fluids. The inlet of the hot fluid is at the same side as the outlet of the cold fluid, and the outlet of the hot fluid has the same positioning as the inlet of the cold fluid. In this type, the outlet temperature of the cold fluid can reach a higher amount than the outlet of the hot fluid.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cross Flow Heat Exchanger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In a cross flow heat exchanger, we have a 90 angle in the intersection of fluids direction. This type can include many channels and tubes, which a flow with a 90 angle pass over them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5712\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tmp3F42_thumb3.jpg\" alt=\"cross flow heat exchanger\" width=\"640\" height=\"455\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tmp3F42_thumb3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tmp3F42_thumb3-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tmp3F42_thumb3-591x420.jpg 591w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tmp3F42_thumb3-100x70.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Types of heat exchangers.

An example of the cross flow is the shell and tube exchanger, in that one fluid flows in the tube side, and the other fluid passes around the tubes in the shell side. The flow around the tubes has a flow direction of 90 degrees compared to the flow in the tubes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17321\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/working.png\" alt=\"Cross Flow Heat Exchanger\" width=\"1180\" height=\"722\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/working.png 1180w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/working-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/working-1024x627.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/working-768x470.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17321\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An illustration of working of a cross flow heat exchanger (Reference: <strong>ericorporation.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cross flow exchangers, same as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shell_and_tube_heat_exchanger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shell and tube<\/a>, are usually used in the two-phase systems. An example of the application is a condenser in steam systems, in which steam passes over the tubes in the shell side and changes phase to the liquid water. Cold water passes through the tubes and absorbs the heat from steam. A large amount of steam condenses using this exchanger.<\/p>\n<p>In the shell and tube heat exchanger, we can find all the parallel, counter flow, and cross flow.

This is often a convenient way to physically locate the inlet and outlet ports in a small package, and moreover, this is an efficient design compared to the parallel heat exchanger.<\/p>\n<p>Thermodynamically, the effectiveness of a cross flow heat exchanger is better than counter flow and parallel flow heat exchangers. Logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) will always be greater for cross flow compared to a parallel flow heat exchanger. For a given flow rate and at the given inlet and outlet temperatures, a parallel flow heat exchanger requires maximum flow area, whereas a cross flow, heat exchanger, requires minimum flow area, and a counter flow heat exchanger area lies between two extreme limits.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, a parallel flow heat exchanger not commonly used in practice, and cross flow arrangement is preferred. Therefore cross flow arrangement is the most prevalent used exchanger because it is easier to provide inlet and outlet header connections with the cross flow rather than counter flow. A cross flow heat exchanger provides a compact design heat exchanger. Multi-pass cross flow heat exchangers can be simply manufactured compared to parallel and counter flow heat exchangers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17322\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17322\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cross-counter-flow.png\" alt=\"Cross Flow Heat Exchanger\" width=\"800\" height=\"305\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cross-counter-flow.png 800w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cross-counter-flow-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cross-counter-flow-768x293.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A comparison between the flow directions of cross flow and counter flow heat exchangers (Reference: <strong>heatex.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_Cross_Flow_Heat_Exchanger_PDF\"><\/span><strong>Download Cross Flow Heat Exchanger PDF<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can easily download this article as a PDF file so you can refer back to it whenever you want.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/linquip.com-What-is-Cross-Flow-Heat-Exchangers-and-its-Working-Principles.pdf\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default su-button-wide\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#2D89EF;border-color:#246ec0;border-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 30px;font-size:22px;line-height:44px;border-color:#6cadf4;border-radius:12px;text-shadow:none\"> Download PDF<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><em><strong>Read More In Linquip<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/scraped-surface-heat-exchanger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is\u00a0Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger?
