Heat Exchanger Question - ANS

The document discusses heat exchangers, including their operating principles, types of bundles, and commissioning and decommissioning processes. Heat exchangers transfer heat between two or more fluids, with corrosive, fouling, or high pressure fluids typically placed on the tube side. Commissioning involves opening isolation valves in a specific order to introduce fluids, while decommissioning requires informing relevant parties and following steps like closing isolation valves and steaming to remove materials from the heat exchanger. Various heat exchangers in an oil refinery process are also outlined, identifying the fluids on each side.
