    Featured Story – The bright future of heat pipe technologies

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Brian Axcell, Professor at the Institute of Energy Futures at Brunel University and expert advisor on the EU-funded ETEKINA project, speaks with the ESCI about his career to date and the potential of heatpipes.

    Featured Story – More efficient heat transfer through targeted turbulence generation

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    This article first briefly looks at the advantage and disadvantages of using thermal oils in heat transfer systems and the effect that their use can have on investment costs. It goes on to assess how turbulators (twisted tape inserts introduced into the heat exchanger) can not only significantly improve the heat transfer in the system itself, but can also help to ensure that the heat exchanger remains small.

    Featured Story – Heat Exchangers at a manufacturer’s in India

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Heat exchangers are to be found in a vast variety of industries nowadays, and certainly in the chemical specialty industry. We recently caught up with Mr. Mrinal Das, Chairman of the Flow Control Exchange Conference & Exhibition that was held in October in Mumbai, India, and who, in his everyday working life, is Executive Vice-President of Projects at Laxmi Organic Industries Ltd.

    Electric heaters compared to heat exchangers: competitors or supplements

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Whenever large electric heaters, flanged immersion or circulation heaters are shown at trade fairs, many visitors ask themselves whether this is a heat exchanger. Due to their external similarity, they can easily be confused with tube bundle or tube and shell heat exchangers. The purpose of this article is to provide a closer look at the differences of both systems, their limitations depending on specific applications and some advantages electric heaters may have.

    Featured Story – Aluminium–bronze: a solution for tube and shell heat exchangers using brackish...

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Aluminium–bronze and nickel–aluminium–bronze (NAB) are not necessarily widely known but have been developed as solutions for seawater corrosion issues. At the same time, they also offer other interesting properties, such as resistance to biofouling.

    Featured Story – Efficient use of waste heat in air conditioning and process air

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    Energy consultants and industrial energy managers will continuously have to find, implement and prove significant savings in the coming years. But what can be done when the ‘usual suspects‘ have already been implemented, from combined heat, power and cooling to LED lighting and compressed air leakage minimisation? The energy audits are ‘insatiable’, further suitable measures must be found.

    Featured Story – Substituting 316L by duplex in a heat exchanger combat erosion

    Heat Exchanger World Publisher -
    In an organic chemical plant, a high-molecular weight organic acid vaporizer in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, developed leakage within four months of going into service. The equipment was used to convert liquid acid to vapor under high pressure and above the boiling point of the acid. One of the nozzle pipes from the downstream reactor, which was processing the vapor in the same circuit, also developed a premature leakage.
