Tube-type heat exchangers are designed using tubes to contain and convey either the exchange medium or that which needs heating or cooling. Let's look at an example and it will be more clear. In a condenser below a steam turbine, the "used steam" comes out of the turbine and passes across many tubes through which cool water is being pumped. The steam condenses into water as heat is exchanged with the tubes, which were cooled by the water being pumped through them. Use the link (provided) to the Wikipedia article on the surface condenser for some great drawings and a more detailed explanation.

What is the different between plate heat exchangers and tube heat exchangers?
One uses tubes, the other uses hollow, flat conduits.
Name the types of heat exchangers used as super-heaters?
Water tube heat exchanger swimming pool, Coaxial heat exchanger for laser and stainless steel exchangers are some of the heat exchangers used as super-heaters.
Is it required to do pickling and passivation on Tube to tube sheet welding on Stainless Steel Heat exchangers?
yes
What is the use of shell and tube heat exchangers?
shell and tube heat exchangers are used mostly in the chemical processing industry for heating, cooling, condensing, and evaporating highly corrosive liquids and gases. AMETEK Fluoropolymer Product shell and tube heat exchanger was the first heat exchanger developed using fluoropolymer tubes and the patented honeycomb tube to tube sheet joint which has been successfully used for over 55 years. Sulfuric Acid is the chemical most used with Ametek Fpp heat exchangers. The process of making sulfuric acid can vary, but any company dealing with the manufacturing process has a high potential for the use of a fluoropolymer heat exchanger in their process. Other Acids commonly requiring fluoropolymer heat exchangers are Hydrochloric, Nitric and Hydrofluoric Acids. Another chemical manufacturing industry fluoropolymer heat exchangers are used in is the Chlor-Alkali manufacturing process.
Heat exchangers are used in refrigerator or not?
Yes, heat exchangers are used.

What is breech lock main features of this type exchangers?
The main features of the breech lock of exchangers include plugs, shell and tube heat exchangers and so much more. The features make it effective in sealing high pressures from fluid flows.
What are the different types of heat exchangers available today?
There are three main types of heat exchangers on the market today. Type 1, Brazed Heat Exchangers, are a collection of plates, vacuum brazed together with no gaskets. They have a high turbulent flow, which reduces particle build up and the need for maintenance. They are good for water based systems such as radient floor heating and swimming pools. Type 2, Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers, are copper U-tubes in a carbon shell. They are rugged, and are frequently used when the materials being cooled are corrosive. Type 3, Shell and Coil Heat Exchangers, are made of circular layers of corrugated tubing and are installed vertically. They are very efficient and are appropriate where space is at a premium. There are many different types of heat exchangers. The types of heat exchangers are: shell and tube, plate, regenerative, adiabatic wheel, plate fin, fluid, waste, dynamic scraped surface and phase-change.
What are the problems of heat exchangers?
blocked lines and wear of lines are the most important problems of heat exchangers.
Heat exchangers can be found in what systems?
