Heat exchangers are used to transfer thermal energy from one type of liquid or steam source to another kind of liquid source at a wide range of facilities. Whether heating a space or some type of ...

One key to becoming a good process engineer or effective operator is understanding heat transfer. The 10 most common heat-transfer malfunctions are: • Internal bypassing. • Vapor binding. • Flux ...

It is well-known that a conventional boiler or heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and related steam turbine have innumerable pieces all working in conjunction to produce the end product of electric ...

The overall performance of power industry projects depends upon maximizing the efficiency of the heat transfer processes that occur at any individual system of the plant. Thus, heat recovery boilers ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...

The Fluid Controls Institute (FCI) recently released Tech Sheet #108: Condensate Line Sizing for Gravity Returns from Steam Traps and Heat Recovery which is available as a free download from the FCI ...

Water and steam have been used to cool and heat air in finned-tube heat exchange coils almost since the inception of heating and air conditioning. Freezing of the fluid and the resultant coil damage ...

San Francisco’s St. Luke’s Hospital complex comprises of four buildings, ranging from 25 to 90 years old. Heating the building required 26,000,000 Btuh, an expensive requirement that had been ...

Industrial plants need steam for heating and other processes. Boilers are commonly used to provide this steam, and you may be called on to operate the boilers in your plant. The first step toward the ...

Sugar manufacturing is a highly water-intensive process that requires water in almost every unit of operation. For example, to maximize juice extraction, water must be sprayed on sugarcanes during the ...
