Heat Exchanger Tubing

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 [...]

Sandia mini-reactor fits in three-storey office space

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 [...]

An Introduction to Heat Exchanger

A heat exchanger is an equipment or device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another, whether the media are separated by a solid wall so that they never mix, or the media are in direct contact. Heat exchanger are widely used in refrigeration, space heating, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical [...]

Cleaning Heat Exchanger Tubes

Heat exchangers tubes are part of the heat exchangers, which is used to efficiently transfer heat from one medium to another without mixing the fluids physically. The device has a range of applications such as space heating, cooling, power, air conditioning, petrochemical factories, chemical factories, refineries and processing of natural gas. A typical example of [...]

Who Invented the Electric Water Heater?

The answer to who invented the electric water heater begins around 1850 with an experiment that was created in which both water and bath, on the underneath side, were heated by gas jets. An Englishman Benjamin Maughan, however in 1868 invented the first instant water heater called “The Geyser”, a device where the water was [...]

Geothermal Heat Pumps for Houses

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 [...]
