So, design of these chillers is influenced by the selection of material. These heat exchangers are widely utilized in the HVAC industries especially in chiller plants due to their large surface for heat transfer. One of the most used heat exchangers which supports this is the shell and tube heat exchangers which are built for effective heat transfer. * e-mail: demand for consumption of energy in industries has made designers to build efficient heat transfer exchangers.
