Term Definition
heat exchanger (heat interchanger)device to transfer heat between two physically separated fluids. See also heat exchanger system; superheater
 
heat exchanger casingstructure which encloses the heat exchanger and forms a passage around it for the fluid being heated
 
heat exchanger face area

in a heat exchanger, with a bundle of tubes, the section that is effectively traversed by the external fluid just before it passes through the tube bundle. The area measured is the lesser area of the two heat exchanger surfaces.

 
heat exchanger heating surface

area intended for transferring heat 

 
heat exchanger removable head (removable


in shell-and-tube heat exchangers, a head which can be unbolted for cleaning or maintenance.

 

 
heat exchanger system

 


assembly (factory- or field-assembled) of components necessary to comprise a complete heat exchanger system
 
heat flow


passage of heat from one point to another or one space to another by one or more of the three modes, conduction, convection, and radiation. See also thermal transmittance.

 

 
heat flow meter

apparatus designed to measure the heat flow from or into a surface. 

 
heat flow path

in a variable temperature field, the lines of heat flow 

 
heat flow ratequantity of thermal energy flowing in unit time
