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.
The types of heat exchangers commonly used as super-heaters are shell-and-tube heat exchangers and plate heat exchangers. These heat exchangers are designed to efficiently transfer heat from the combustion gases to the steam in power plants, increasing the temperature and improving the efficiency of the system.
Plate heat exchangers use flat plates to transfer heat between two fluids, providing a large surface area for efficient heat transfer in a compact design. Tube heat exchangers utilize tubes to facilitate heat exchange between fluids, offering a more traditional and versatile approach to heat transfer applications. Plate heat exchangers are typically more efficient and cost-effective for certain applications compared to tube heat exchangers.
yes
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.

Yes, heat exchangers are used.
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.

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.
There are three main types of heat exchangers: shell and tube, plate, and finned tube. They work by allowing two fluids to flow in close proximity to each other, separated by a barrier. Heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the barrier, maximizing surface area contact for efficient heat transfer.
blocked lines and wear of lines are the most important problems of heat exchangers.
