  • Which type of heat exchanger is used in oil refinery?
  • Floating head t ype heat exchanger type of heat exchanger used in an oil refinery. It has a floating transfer between fluids. The floating heat permits the free expansion and contraction. Also this type of h eat exchanger is easy to clean and test for performance enhancements purpose. exchange between crude and naphtha. It increases the
  • How does crude oil affect heat transfer?
  • Crude oil is a highly viscous substance, and its viscosity may lead to fouling and scaling on the heat transfer surfaces. To mitigate this, heat exchangers with plates that feature deep grooves are utilized to enhance heat transfer and minimize fouling.
  • Why do refineries clean heat exchangers?
  • Cleaning of exchangers is also carried out during unit operation to maintain throughput, maximise run length, and maximise operating performance. Fouling trends are often monitored by refinery operations based on overall heat exchanger performance (overall heat transfer coefficient x area or UA) estimations in the preheat train.
  • How preheat trains reduce energy consumption in refinery?
  • The energy conservation in refinery is mainly attributed to the efficiency of preheat trains which are employed to extract the heat from side products and pumparounds to preheat the crude stream [ 1 ]. Reducing energy consumption by recovering the waste heat is promising for protection of the environment [ 2 ].
