Cooling water circuits and solar systems are often filled with water-glycol mixtures for frost protection reasons. Propylene glycol added to the water mainly serves as frost protection. The propylene glycol also provides a certain degree of corrosion protection. Due to the addition of propylene glycol, the viscosity of the circulation fluid used increases slightly and the air separation capacity ...
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 ...
As the geothermal energy market heats up, techniques pioneered in the Middle Eastern desert could dramatically boost geothermal production rates-helping unlock a potentially vast global resource. Gary MacDonald, Middle East-based Global Business Development Manager with OSSO, a provider of specialist fluid temperature control and separation solutions, assesses how mud cooler techniques could ...

Common applications of the shell and tube heat exchanger are within oil, gas and chemical industries. Plate Heat Exchanger Or Gasket Plate Heat Exchanger Suitable for: fluid to fluid / fluid to vapour Plate heat ...
Sterilization materials that are at risk of bursting or deforming due to heating and cooling (or by the pressure differences created by these processes) can be safely sterilized using the spray heating and cooling program in Systec autoclaves. ...
Why is the pasteurization of biomasses becoming more and more a required practice for biogas and biomethane plants? In many countries the regulations for specific biomasses (eg: animals and vegetables organic waste, industrial and municipal slurries, etc …) require that a pasteurization treatment be carried out before they are loaded into the digesters. A particular case is given for ...
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 ...
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 car. Heat exchangers are critical for keeping various devices cool ...
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 ...
The program performs a boundary layer analysis for the specific application and adjusted the plate thickness and spacing of the heat exchanger to maximize performance. SOLUTION A secondary plate type heat exchanger was chosen for this application because of its' , versatility and rugged , yet ...
SR received a $2 million award to demonstrate its thermochemical energy storage system (TCES) technology for a supercritical CO2 cycle, which sees refined and tailored reinforced calcium oxide undergo a reversible carbonation reaction in a parallel-plate heat exchanger reactor. The system is designed for tower projects and presents a significant ...
For tracking exergy destruction, a novel transient exergy analysis has been implemented into the heat exchanger model. The heat exchanger model is a plate–fin configuration and is capable of handling several different types of fluids. The model is able to track the change of exergy within the control volume of ...
This paper presents an experimental investigation on combined energetic and exergetic performance characteristics of a corrugated plate heat exchanger using water. On the basis of experimental data considering heat exchange with ambient, various energetic and exergetic performance parameters have been evaluated ...
WATER SYSTEM CHALLENGES The domestic hot water for the site is produced by two sets of three boilers feeding four heat exchangers. Four solar hot water tank heaters are in the loop with plate heat exchangers and have an average recirculation flow of 8 m3/hr (35 gpm) in each loop. ...
WATER SYSTEM CHALLENGES The facility had scale deposits and corrosion (causing holes in the stainless steel plates) in plate heat exchangers, causing short average life of the systems, downtime and exesive cost of ...
Maintenance personnel found additional uses for RYDLYME, including cleaning: steam lines at the cafeteria, humidifier at the fieldhouse and plate and frame heat exchanger. ...
The crank shaft turns an alternator to produce electricity. Heat is released during the gas combustion process. This heat can be recovered during cogeneration in order to maximise the heating value of the system. ...
When electricity is produced and heat is also utilised this is called combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration. ...
