Oct. 01, 2009Win-win Situation - Today, many industries are asking themselves how they can contribute to a better environment by reducing CO2 emissions, while remaining efficient and cost competitive. One solution, where feasible, is to install compact heat exchangers instead of bulky, less energy efficient shell-and-tube heat exchangers. According to Alfa Laval, compact heat exchangers can help plants consume less energy, reduce CO2 emissions, and increase uptime.

Moreover, sunlight as a resource for power generation is free - not surprisingly, solar thermal power is rising in demand. GEA Ibérica, which is a subsidiary of GEA's Thermal Engineering Division, has a history of supplying surface condensers to solar thermal power plants in Europe.
moreJun. 10, 2009Temperature Control - Tube heaters are applied when liquid or gaseous media is delivered through tubes. These tube heaters have a critical impact on process results when used with thermal sensitive media or processes and contribute to the extension of maintenance cycles in the facility. Pump and Gas Line heaters, as introduced in this article, were developed especially for those kinds of applications.
