Heat exchangers may be classified into different types such as parallel flow type, counter flow type, cross flow type, single pass type, or multiple pass type. Heat exchangers used in fluid processing plants, for example liquid natural gas vaporizers or natural gas liquefiers, rely on several conventional heat transfer techniques to enhance thermal effectiveness or to enhance other heat transfer characteristics between a process fluid (e.g. liquid natural gas) side and a heat source or a heat sink side of the heat exchanger.
