A heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of a hot fluid to a cold fluid, also known as a heat exchanger, and is an indispensable device for achieving heat exchange and transfer in a chemical production process. There are many types of heat exchangers, which can be divided into partition walls, hybrids and regeneratives according to the principle and method of heat exchange between cold and hot fluids. In the new era, the heat exchanger industry is moving in a more refined direction.

Industry analysts point out that: Heat exchangers are common equipment in the chemical, petroleum, power, food and many other industrial sectors, and they play an important role in production. The large use of heat exchangers effectively improves the utilization of energy, which reduces the cost of enterprises and improves the efficiency.

The petrochemical industry is a large market for the heat exchanger industry, with a market size of 15 billion yuan; the power metallurgy field is second, and its market size is about 8 billion yuan. In recent years, China's heat exchanger industry has made great achievements in product performance, improved heat transfer efficiency, reduced heat transfer area, reduced pressure drop, and improved device thermal strength. With the rapid development of China's petrochemical, steel and other industries, the demand for heat exchangers has risen sharply, but the supply capacity of domestic enterprises is limited, resulting in a market situation in which the heat exchanger industry is in short supply, and the market potential is great.

At present, a large number of enhanced heat transfer technologies are applied to industrial devices, and therefore, plate heat exchangers have become an important product in the industry. At the same time, large-scale shell-and-tube heat exchangers, large-diameter threaded lock ring high-pressure heat exchangers, high-efficiency energy-saving shell-and-shell heat exchangers, and large-plate air preheaters will also become the focus of future market segmentation. In addition, China's high-end heat exchangers mainly rely on imports, and most of the exported products are low-end and low-end products with low added value, while the imported products are high-end products with high added value. The domestic production capacity is weak. In the middle and low-end products, the overcapacity and the export volume are large. The main development direction in the future is the high-end new multi-application heat exchanger.

According to industry analysts, according to the development goal of China's heat exchanger industry, the scale of the heat exchanger industry in 2016 exceeded 100 billion yuan. In 2020, the country of heat exchanger production will enter the world's heat exchanger power. To achieve its goal smoothly, it must be A breakthrough in high-efficiency, environmentally friendly and energy-saving high-end heat exchangers.
