Do you experience difficulty to design plate and frame heat exchanger? Leave all that manual and tedious calculation to design the plate heat exchanger. Instead, use PHex software. PHex is an easy to use tool which domonstrates the thermal calculations of Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers, The plate dimensions and materials can be entered, this includes [...]
Leak Testing of a heat exchanger tube and tube-tube sheet was successfully performed by SGS from March 16-17, 2010 in a refinery in Ulsan, Korea. SGS used this Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for the very first time on a heat exchanger. SGS Korea (www.kr.sgs.com/home_kr_v2.htm?selen=1) was awarded a contract to provide Leak Testing of a heat [...]
Heat exchanger tubing is an essential part for a shell and tube heat exchanger. The types, materials and quality of the tube depend on the application and industry. Before an engineer decides to purchase heat exchanger tubing, he needs to inspect and consider several aspects and specifications. The engineer should first either choose which type [...]
The Sandia mini-reactor would be about the size of a two- or three-storey office building. At its heart is a small uranium core submerged in a tank of liquid sodium. The sodium capturies the high temperatures of the core and carries it to a heat exchanger, where liquid carbon dioxide then absorbs the heat. The [...]
One type of heating system that is starting to gain popularity in home construction, is the installation of geothermal heat pumps (also called GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground source or water-source heat pump). Basically this system replaces all fuel-fed furnaces and air conditioners by having a pump buried deep in the ground. The pump circulates hot and [...]
By: JEANNIE GRIMWOOD There are different home-heating systems that can save you more money on fuel costs. Those of you that are using wood stoves can get even better use of your burn time by the following methods. Before every heating season, have chimney stacks adequately cleaned to aid drafting and prevent stack fires. Green and [...]
