In the complex environment of nuclear power plants, safety and precision are non-negotiable. Regular and thorough inspections play a major role in ensuring safety and efficiency—but these are often high-risk procedures that involve examining high-radiation, hard-to-reach areas. Because of this, operators require technology that goes beyond traditional methods. In this discussion, we will ...
The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is one of the world’s most versatile and valuable plant species. Capable of producing food, fuel, cosmetics, building materials, growing media and cosmetic compounds, it’s no wonder that in the Philippines, the coconut is known as the Tree of Life. The global market for coconut products is predicted to reach $53.4 billion by 2033, thanks to annual ...
Introduction: The aerospace industry demands materials that can withstand extreme conditions, from high temperatures to corrosive environments. Nitinol Tube, with its unique properties, has emerged as a material of choice for various aerospace applications. This article explores how Nitinol tubing, including Niti Hypotube, is used in aerospace engineering. Properties of Nitinol Tube Relevant to ...
The first few months of 2025 have been among the most economically turbulent in recent history, but despite this there are still signs anaerobic digestion (AD) will continue to play a key role in boosting energy security, tackling climate change, and managing organic wastes. The global biogas market was estimated to be worth USD 65.53 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand 4.2% per year ...
The heat input is a driving factor for the breakdown of complex organic molecules into simpler compounds. ...
Heat exchangers are commonly used for a wide range of purposes in the anaerobic and biogas sector, from digester heating and pasteurisation to evaporation, biogas dehumidification and exhaust gas heat recovery. With a wide range of types and designs available from numerous manufacturers, choosing the right solution, from the right supplier, can seem daunting. However, posing the right questions ...
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 clearly that the measured performance of the plant deteriorated by ...
While heat treatment is important in ensuring the safety of apple juice through pasteurisation or sterilisation, for some products heat plays an important role in the production process itself. The physical and chemical properties must be considered when they are juiced and processed. Sugar content is typically around 11%, while dry matters vary between 13 and 20 % depending on variety and ...
There are numerous uses for heat exchangers in breweries, from cooling, pasteurising and fermenting products, through to efficiently dealing with waste streams such as yeast slurry. Compared to other methods of heating, heat exchangers can be much more energy efficient, providing both environmental and economic benefits. One of the first uses of heat exchangers in brewing is for rapidly cooling ...
Heat exchangers which employ heat recovery or regeneration should not be confused with ‘regenerative heat exchangers,’ which are a specific type of heat exchanger. What we mean by heat regeneration at HRS is the recovery of as much surplus heat (or cooling capacity) as possible after the primary function of the heat exchanger has been performed. This can then be reused to either ...
Residual heat sources mainly consist of heat losses transferred by conduction, convection and radiation from the products, industrial process equipment and the heat released by combustion gases [1]. ...
Air conditioning, power plants, petroleum refineries, combustion engines and more – all of these have a vitally important part in common. Not sure what that is? That’s fine, what they have in common is a device called a heat exchanger. Now believe it or not, you are probably quite familiar with one heat exchanger, but know it under a different name; it’s the radiator in your ...
Introduction Heat transfer enhancement in all types of heat exchanger systems is of great significance for the cooling and heating industry. ...
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 ...
Right now, we are in the middle of summer, so heat is probably on your mind. Heat exchangers exist in all sorts of applications. Your heating system might use a metal heat exchanger to transfer heat. This could mean it’s made of carbon and stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or another metal. Low temperature plastic may also be used in the construction of the heat exchanger in a heating ...
Kjell Ingar Boe lives in the town of Randaberg on the Atlantic West coast of Norway. He has been a broiler producer for more than ten years. His second house, built in 2017 and installed with a DACS system, is located just half a mile from the ocean – a location with extreme and constantly changing weather conditions. Focus on the birds – With a yearly rainfall of 1.2 meter ...
