by The global heat exchanger market encompasses a wide range of heat transfer equipment that facilitates the transfer of thermal energy (heat) between a solid surface and a fluid, between two or more fluids, or between fluid and fluid when these are at different temperatures. Heat exchangers are commonly used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing, and sewage treatment. They provide efficient cooling and heating in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. Heat exchangers find widespread applications in process industries, power plants, petroleum refineries, chemical plants, food processing units, and many others. The inherent advantages of heat exchangers include compact design, consistent temperature control, and high heat transfer efficiency.
The global Heat Exchanger Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 18849.18 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
