    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    The transfer of heat from one fluid to another is an essential component of all chemical processes. Whether it is to cool down a chemical after it has been formed during an exothermic reaction, or to heat-up components before starting a reaction to make a final product, understanding the elements to design an effective, efficient heat transfer system is the key to cost-effective manufacturing of most chemicals today.

    Featured Story – Milk fouling in heat exchangers

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Some heat exchangers are used in very distinct industries with basically the same design. Take the Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) for example. Companies in Oil & Gas and Food Processing employ this equipment, but the solutions developed in each field to cope with problems do not necessarily migrate between both industries. Even the manufacturers tend to segment their business lines and correspondent technical representatives, which may further prevent the flow of information.

    Featured Story – Steam reformer tubes; lifecycle and integrity management

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
