If we need a 24V output power supply, can we use two 12V power supplies connecting in series instead of one 24V power supply?

YES, basically you can do this to get the right output voltage, but be careful that the rated output current of the series system should be the rating of the minimum one in these series connected power supplies. Furthermore, we like you to parallel a diode at the output of power supply to prevent possible damage of internal capacitors.
