In hydrogen applications, plate heat exchangers are an ideal solutions for cooling tasks, both PCHE and special brazed plate exchangers also employed for CO2 withstanding very high pressure levels and a wide range of temperatures.
Tempco PCHE exchangers for hydrogen cooling in fuel cell technologies are featured in an article on the January issue of ICP magazine, the diffusion bonding construction process allows the exchangers to operate at extreme pressure and temperature levels.
Why and how do heat exchangers get dirty, scaling of thermal transfer surfaces or fouling due to dirty fluids with solid suspended particles flowing inside the exchanger, and the possible interventions aimed at maintaining the thermal transfer efficiency.
Comparison between water cooling and air cooling solutions for dissipation of excess heat generated by current rectifiers, between efficiency levels in power demanding environments and maintenance tasks.
