Types of Heat Exchangers

Heat is transferred from one place to another via heat exchangers. The heat exchanger receives and transports the combustion produced by the natural gas or propane fuel being burned in the furnace. The metal is heated by the hot flue gas as it makes its way to the furnace’s exhaust outlet. The air moving over the heat exchanger’s exterior is heated by the hot metal. It’s important to note that this is only one type of heat transfer that occurs in many types of heat exchangers, but it’s the entire point in practically all heat transfer devices.
