Heat exchangers are used in many processes and products, including air conditioning systems and radiators and sewage treatment plants, oil refineries, chemical factories, and other industrial facilities. Its primary purpose is to transfer heat from one medium to another. Because of its engagement in such heavy-duty applications, a heat exchanger may be subjected to corrosive or harmful substances.
