Featured Story – Safe and fast:Transporting heat exchangers on air

Transporting heavy equipment like heat exchangers, boilers, and pressure vessels can be troublesome to say the least because of their sheer size and weight. This article reports how Cleaver-Brooks, an industrial boiler manufacturer, was very pleasantly surprised to find just how easy it was to move a 100-ton boiler around in a tight location on air casters.

Featured Story – The use of explosion clad metals to extend the lifeand reduce...

The use of corrosion resistant alloys significantly extends the life of heat transfer equipment. Explosion bonded clad provides the corrosion resistance of a more expensive alloy with the strength of steel thus providing a highquality, low-cost option for heat exchangers.

Featured Story – Improving Aerospace and Aviation Heat Exchanger Performance with Advanced Additive Manufacturing

Heat exchangers are essential for keeping aircraft of all types aloft and functioning properly. They are key components of satellites and drones, for example, where the excessive temperature created by on-board electronics can literally melt them if not controlled. This article, provided by VELO3D, discusses the benefits of additive manufacturing for heat exchanger performance for the aerospace industry.

Featured Story – Using Continuous Helical Flow to Reduce Fouling

It would be an understatement to say that fouling is one of the most costly recurring problems in hydrocarbon processing, and that it hits process heaters and heat exchangers the hardest. Fouling can have a significant impact on heat transfer across the heat exchanger surface, and so likewise on both overall operational performance and total cost of maintenance.

Featured Story – A failure report from the pulp and paper industry

A pulp and paper plant was facing a major problem when their digester preheaters started leaking, resulting in production loss. The shell-andtube heat exchangers were exposed to steam on the shell side and white liquor on the tube side. The tubes were made of Type 316L stainless steel. The preheaters had replaced the original ones which had performed satisfactorily for ten years. The new ones started leaking within seven months of operation. A detailed failure analysis was hence desirable.
