Project News

Heat transfer is a vital element in a variety of projects. In this section, we provide updates on some of the largest and most influential projects in which heat exchange is incorporated. Our team sources news from projects across the globe, from oil & gas infrastructure giants to smaller scale endeavours.

Types of Heat Exchanger Projects:

These projects can span across different heat exchanger technologies, including shell and tube, plate, finned tube, and spiral heat exchangers. The choice of heat exchanger type for a specific project is dependent on numerous factors, including the nature of the fluids involved, the desired temperature change, the operating pressure and temperature, the available space, and economic considerations.

Application Areas:

Heat exchangers find application in various industries such as oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, HVAC, and many others. In these sectors, heat exchangers may be used for purposes like heating or cooling process fluids, condensing steam, evaporation, and waste heat recovery, among others.

Heat exchangers represent a critical component of many industrial processes. Their successful completion requires a deep understanding of heat transfer principles, material properties, fabrication methods, and operational considerations.
