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.

TWI joins European Space Agency project

TWI has recently joined a project funded by and for the European Space Agency to develop compact lightweight micro-channel heat exchangers (MCHX) for reusable launch systems.

BiodegrATES – groundwater used for heating and cooling

A new project aims to develop a model for using groundwater to heat and cool buildings while the water is at the same time cleansed of pollutants that pose a risk to drinking water.

Glacier Energy secures significant PBS contract

Glacier Energy has been awarded a contract worth circa GBP 1M by PBS for the provision of export gas coolers for Total Exploration and Production UK’s (TEPUK) North Alwyn Platform, in the North Sea.

Bunhill Heat & Power Network project in central London

The idea is as ingenious and has the potential to become a global role model: the Bunhill Heat and Power Network project in central London.

Start-up of Alfa Laval’s BHE factory in San Bonifacio

Alfa Laval’s brazed heat exchanger (BHE) production is moving into a new, purpose-built factory in San Bonifacio, Italy. Manufacturing has already begun at the advanced new facility, and preparations are being made for research and customer training on site.

Doosan signs a MoU with KEPCO & public power companies

Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction announced that it had signed a "MoU on Promoting Growth of the Korean Gas Turbine Industry" with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), five public companies of the power sector and small and medium-sized parts & materials suppliers.

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.
