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.

Hydroniq supplies seawater cooling system to Wärtsilä

Hydroniq Coolers has entered into a partnership agreement with Wärtsilä and supplied its biggest ever Rack seawater cooling system to  Wärtsilä’s innovation and production centre – the Smart Technology Hub.“In the Smart Technology Hub we seek to validate a common and centralised sea water cooling system creating flexibility for large installations.

Renovation Wave to accelerate improvements in RES4BUILD

The Renovation Wave aims to accelerate improvements in the energy performance of 35 million buildings across Europe by 2030.

Wärtsilä CHP plant helps Germany to reach its goals

The recently completed combined heat and power (CHP) plant supplied by the technology group Wärtsilä to Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden (KMW) in Germany has been officially handed over for commencement of commercial operations.

LANXESS unveils nitrous oxide plant in Antwerp

LANXESS inaugurated a nitrous oxide reduction plant at its site in Antwerp, Belgium. The plant breaks down around 500 metric tons of nitrous oxide per year, which is equivalent to the climate impact of 150,000 metric tons of CO2.

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.

BYU awarded $4.6m from the United States DOE

BYU is receiving funding as part of the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) “Critical Components for Coal FIRST Power Plants of the Future” initiative.

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.
