Vent plate condenser

Plate heat exchangers are suitable for different field of applications.

On chemical and pharma plants we use them as vent condenser from some years with customer satisfaction.

Plate heat exchanger vent condenser

It’s a complex installation both in respect of design and material’s selection.

The design of this kind of applications involve different features

  1. thermal capacity
  2. solvent flow rate
  3. flow pressure
  4. flow speed

Thermal capacity is the minor issue, the designer must take in account the last 3 points for a correct and functional plate heat exchanger dimension and project.

Compliance of gaskets and plate’s material is the other issue to control with the best accuracy.

On a big plant started on January we set some vent condensers with titanium plates, some other with stainless steel and all with PTFE gaskets.

Small heat exchangers for boilers

In Tempco’s range of heat exchangers, the smaller and by far the more versatile size is probably the one dedicated for residential applications in boilers. Those are represented by the TCB E/F 015CUK series, small size heat exchangers optimized for boiler production, due to their compact design and small dimensions, allowing easy installation where space is limited.

These heat exchangers for boilers offer high thermal transfer efficiency and excellent energy efficiency, with important costs savings and environmental benefits, being an effective solution in reducing emissions and carbon footprint from residential heating.

Cold from heat: energy saving with absorption chillers

Heat recovery for cooling. In spite of the appearing contradiction – how can it be possible to obtain cold from heat? -, absorption chillers are an excellent energy saving alternative to traditional compressor chillers, requiring on the opposite big amounts of electricity.

It consists of energy efficiency cooling and conditioning systems, working on capitalization of waste heat flows, coming from other industrial processes or from solar panels, also called solar air conditioning. Those are conditioning and refrigerating green solutions, also environmentally friendly not even using CFC, chlorofluorocarbons, but low ambient impact fluids: an ideal solution for lowering pollution and Co2 emissions, with a more intelligent employ of energy, containing energy demand for conditioning and cooling, both for residential and industrial utilities.

But let’s see how this is achieved and how it works, with an engineering example of an absorption chiller.

How it’s thermoregulated? Windsurf boards

Considering the positive feedbacks I had on the last post on thermoregulation in MTB, I decided to keep on going.
And this time I’m gonna test myself on the analysis of a Windsurf board, and here the topic is getting ‘delicate’…

Windsurf board production process technology involve heat exchangers and thermoregulating unit

Why ‘delicate’? Because we’re approaching a sport equipment that has to be, at the same time:

  • Lightweight as much as possible
  • Shock resistant
  • Environmental temperature variations proof
  • Stiff
  • Perfectly water proof, it doesn’t have to absorb water at all

The right temperature level during production processes ensures repetitivity to the product, and the respect of its characteristics according to project technical specifications.

Dimple Jacket heat exchangers

In terms of heat transfer and thermoregulation, dimple jacket exchangers can be a very efficient and versatile solution, because of their construction and thermal transfer efficiency.

Dimple jacket exchangers

Dimple jacket exchangers

T COIL dimple jacket exchangers are plate heat exchangers made by inflating through high pressure two welded metal sheets, in order to create a chamber with special cavities and channels for the flowing of the fluids, achieving uniform heat exchange. The peculiar design engineering and the way of construction allow to use this kind of heat exchangers for clamp-on applications, on tanks and vessels intended for working and process fluids thermoregulation.

Dimple jacket heat exchangers are also in addition a very efficient and suitable solution for immersion coil application in heating and cooling purposes, for prime heat exchange by direct contact with the fluids in thermoregulation.

Both external or internal applications are indeed possible, and in case of clamp-on external design, many shapes and customized sizes can be realized, also through our plate heat exchangers Tempco online Store, in order to obtain even more versatile thermostatating machines, tailored on any industrial process need.

Maximum construction flexibility makes dimple jacket heat exchangers a perfect application for industrial energy efficiency and thermoregulation in a series of sectors and production processes, such as:

– textile industry
– pharmaceutical industry
– food and dairy
– chemical industry
– paintings plants
– falling film coolers
– fermentation in craft beer brewing
– data center cooling

Applications can vary from in tank fluids thermoregulation with temperature control to cooling and heating, free cooling, heat recovery.

How it’s thermoregulated?

I guess many of you are already trying to figure out what’s the link between these two topics…
Nothing, indeed, or maybe also a lot of things: it only depends on the point of view we assume to think about it.

Yesterday I was considering my enduro mountain bike, and I found myself fond in an interesting exercise:
How much Tempco equipments are involved in production processes of its various components?
