Reduce energy consumption with adiabatic cooling
GEA Air Treatment CAIRplus air-handling units for airflow from 3,000 to 23,000 m3/h are now available with adiabatic cooling. These models cool extracted air up to the saturation point. The cold produced by evaporation is then transferred to the supply…
Specifying Gas Turbines
Gas turbines are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) — especially in petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities — to provide both mechanical-drive and power-generation capabilities. Presented below are a variety of recommendations related to the selection and arrangement…
This waste-heat chiller is for mobile applications
A new, three-ton chiller developed by this company is based on an absorption-cycle process with an aqueous ammonia solution as the working fluid. It is intended for applications requiring smaller or mobile units, such as military electronics cooling, refrigerated transport…
Better control for combustion equipment with this system
CombustionONE is an integrated solution for managing and controlling combustion-based processes. The system is designed to improve safety and efficiency in fired heaters, dryers, heat exchangers, boilers and other combustion equipment. Featuring this company’s automation technology, CombustionONE promises increased safety,…
Plate heat exchangers with thinner frames
GEA PHE Systems The new EcoFlex CDH heat-exchanger frame range features frame plates that have been considerably reduced in thickness. The cross section reduction in the clamping bolts has been compensated for by a greater number of bolts, which in…
Flexible Heat Exchanger Networks
The ever important aim of energy efficiency in the chemical process industries (CPI) is brought closer to its target by the practice of energy recovery in heat exchanger networks (HENs). When heat exchangers are designed to work together to exchange…
These heat exchangers offer high heat transfer coefficients
Chemineer Equipped with streamlined Kenics Static Mixer elements, Kenics heat exchangers (photo) offer maximum transfer rates, even with highly viscous, difficult-to-process materials. Kenics Static Mixer technology offers the highest available heat-transfer coefficients, providing heat-transfer rates of three to seven times…
These blowdown valves can be fully serviced inline
Fully serviceable inline, Clampseal blowdown valves provide control for continuous boiler or turbine blowdown, as well as bottom blow-off service. The valves feature a uniform, single-piece gland, a cartridge-type packing chamber and pressure seal backseat. For continuous blowdown service, Clampseal…
Withstand harsh outdoor conditions with this heat exchanger
The Climaguard Outdoor Heat Exchanger removes up to 3,000 W of enclosure heat and features a double-crimped and dip-sealed core, for efficient thermal transfer in harsh outdoor environments. Units can easily be surface- or recess-mounted to an enclosure. Climaguard units…
