I have some text (original), and I have the encrypted version of this text.
Can I detect the type of the algorithm that has been used to encrypt that text?

From a similar recent question (and its answers) on the Cryptography Stack Exchange site:
If the algorithm is any good, no, apart from some basic properties.
Your output looks like a hexadecimal encoding of the actual output – and the 48 hexadecimal characters correspond to 192 bits. Thus, it looks like your algorithm has a block size of 192 bits.
We can’t derive much more information here.
