Refrigeration & heat exchange

Waste heat recovery units

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

A Waste Heat Recovery Unit (WHRU) is a heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream while transferring it to a working medium, typically water or oils. The hot gas stream can be the ...

Dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

This is mainly used for heating or cooling with high-viscosity products, crystallisation processes, evaporation and high-fouling applications. Long running times are achieved due to the continuous ...

Pillow plate heat exchanger

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

The pillow plate is constructed using a thin sheet of metal spot-welded to the surface of another thicker sheet of metal. The thin plate is welded in a regular pattern of dots or with a serpentine ...

Fluid heat exchangers

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

This is a heat exchanger with a gas passing upwards through a shower of fluid (often water), and the fluid is then taken elsewhere before being cooled. This is commonly used for cooling gases whilst ...

Vortex tube

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. It has no moving parts.

Stirling cycle

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

The Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the general class of Stirling devices. The cycle is reversible, meaning that if supplied with mechanical power, it can function as a heat ...

Steam jet cooling

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

Steam jet cooling uses a high-pressure jet of steam to cool water or other fluid media. Typical uses include industrial sites, where a suitable steam supply already exists for other purposes or, ...
