Thermal Efficiency - Energy Efficiency of Heat Exchangers

Energy Efficiency of Heat Exchangers

A counter flow heat exchanger is generally 100% efficient in transferring heat energy from one circuit to the other, albeit at a slight loss in temperature. However, for a more complete picture of heat exchanger efficiency, exergetic considerations must be taken into account.

Famous quotes containing the words energy, efficiency and/or heat:

    “For infants and toddlers learning and living are the same thing. If they feel secure, treasured, loved, their own energy and curiosity will bring them new understanding and new skills.”
    —Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)

    “I’ll take fifty percent efficiency to get one hundred percent loyalty.”
    —Samuel Goldwyn (1882–1974)

    “The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.”
    —William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)
