  ABSTRACT: The research paper tends to review the effectiveness of helical coil in heat exchangers (HCHE). Heat exchanger is a device used in transferring thermal energy between two or more fluids or solid interfaces and a fluid, in solid particulates and a fluid at different temperatures and thermal contact. The author has concisely discussed the helical coil in heat exchanger at different shapes and conditions and compared the HCHE with straight tubes heat exchangers, and the factors affecting the performance and effectiveness of the helical coil heat exchanger such as the curvature ratio, and other heat exchangers. The author demonstrated that the HCHE provided more excellent heat transfer performance and effectiveness than straight tubes and other heat exchangers because of secondary flow development inside the helical tube, and heat transfer coefficient increased with an increase in the curvature ratio of HCHE for the same flow rates. The secondary flow and mass flow rates, advantages and disadvantages have also been reviewed. The authors back their findings with available theories. Suitable fluid should be searched for high efficiency in the helical coil.
