- What specific functions and performance requirements do you have for the heat exchange equipment? For example, is it required to operate in a high temperature and high pressure environment?
2. **Technical parameters and specifications**:
- Can you provide relevant technical parameters, such as heat exchange area, structural form, medium type, etc.?
- Are there any special design or manufacturing requirements? For example, are anti-corrosion or high temperature resistant materials required?
3. **Project environment and constraints**:
- In what kind of environment will your equipment be installed? For example, are there space restrictions or special environmental requirements?
- Are there other external factors that may affect the operation of the equipment, such as government policies or heating conditions?

- Are there other cost factors to consider, such as maintenance fees or long-term operating costs?
6. **Supplier selection criteria**:
