What are hiTRAN® Thermal Systems?
For expansion retrofits or new reduced capital compact designs, hiTRAN Thermal Systems are now widely recognised to substantially enhance the heat transfer performance
Heat Exchanger Problems - Part 3
In an installation involving multiple air cooled heat exchangers, two types of hot air recirculation are possible. Hot air leaving a heat exchanger can either recirculate around the same heat exchanger
Heat Exchanger Problems - Part 2
In order to minimise their volume, some fluids (e.g. ammonia, LPG, LNG) are stored as liquids at low temperature., which needs a heat exchanger.
