Stainless Steel SS304 Heat Exchanger

Type 304 is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is still sometimes referred to by its old name 18/8 which is derived from the nominal composition of type 304 being 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Type 304 stainless steel is an austenitic grade that can be severely deep drawn.A heat exchanger is a device that facilitates the process of heat exchange between two fluids that are at different temperatures.In a gas furnace, the heat exchanger is located close to the combustion chamber. In an electric furnace, it is located close to the coil. The heat exchanger is heated by the heat source and warms the air outside. From there, a blower fan distributes the heated air through the ducts.
