In the chemical industry, precise temperature control is crucial to ensuring efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations. Chemical processes often require heat to be transferred between substances in ways that prevent thermal damage, promote chemical reactions, and maintain safety standards. Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHEs) are widely used in these applications, offering efficient heat ...
MAIN HEAT EXCHANGER TYPES Most heat transfer applications will require the use of corrugated tube heat exchangers. ...
Background The Ball-Tech Energy Ltd automatic heat exchanger tube cleaning system type BMS – 8" system was installed and tested on 1996 on an underground refrigeration machine. The refrigeration plant was operated for two periods of two months with and without the cleaning system in use. Results of the investigation showed ...
The cleaning effect is strong. After cleaning, the molds are bright as new. 3. Power industry Dry ice can clean electric boilers, condensers and various heat exchangers, and can also clean power distribution cabinets. ...
Heat Exchangers Coolers (Air Coolers, Water-Coolers etc.) ...
With 40 years’ experience as a company, our engineers and sales staff have encountered a wide range of issues on sites. Here are ten of the most common mistakes that can occur as a result of poorly-specified or badly-installed heat exchanger systems – and how you can avoid ...
Ensuring product safety is the number one priority for any producer of pharmaceutical products, and a key aspect of this is avoiding contamination during production. Design and construction plays a key role in achieving this, and the heat exchangers used for processes such as pasteurisation and sterilisation are no exception. There are three main elements to preventing contamination occurring in ...
When operating in exceptionally challenging conditions, or handling difficult materials such as sewage and wastewater sludges, even the best designed heat exchangers will be susceptible to fouling. Understanding the different types of fouling and what causes them will help engineers and operators pick the best type of heat exchanger for their particular application and keep it running in optimum ...
The Challenge Twisted tube designed heat exchangers are exceptionally difficult to clean. This particular fouling process is extra challenging due to the steam in the tube side which bakes the bitumen on to the shell side faster than other designs. This heat exchagner was brought to ABSOLUTE after a previous service provider was ...
As part of the EU’s current Horizon 2020 programme, TTIL is developing the world’s first automated external ‘shell side’ heat exchanger cleaning system to remove near 100% of previously inaccessible fouling, thereby substantially reducing CO2 emissions and wasted energy. ...
The EPA’s Boiler MACT regulations are heating up. Boiler MACT is an EPA rule to limit hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from commercial and industrial boilers and process heaters. Originally proposed in 2011 as a mandate driven by the Clean Air Act, the rules are Area Source Boiler MACT 40 CFR 63, subpart JJJJJJ for smaller boilers (stores, hotels, ...
A regional wastewater treatment plant in Sonoma County was experiencing problems with struvite on their screw presses and vivianite on their heat exchangers. The design plant flow rate is 7.9 mg/day. They were using 7 mg/L to 10 mg/L (dry basis) of ferric chloride to control hydrogen sulfide and improve solids removal in the primary clarifier. ...
The deposition of material on heat transfer surfaces is called fouling which significantly impacts on the thermal and mechanical performance of heat exchangers. Fouling increases the overall thermal resistance and lowers the overall heat transfer coefficient of heat exchangers as well as impeding ...
An innovative Earth Tube has been buried along side the building to utilise the relatively stable below ground temperature, heating the building’s incoming air in the winter and cooling during the summer. CPS were contracted to design and manufacture six thermoplastic heat exchangers complete with spray cleaning systems as ...
The exhaust air containing organic compounds generates excess heat when oxidised in the regenerative thermal oxidiser (RTO). The properties of ceramic honeycomb blocks allow for the storage of that excess heat, for the production of high-pressure steam. ...
