Steam is the most popular heat transfer media. When steam is used for heating purpose, latent heat is transferred and phase of steam changes from vapor to liquid. The liquid formed after steam heating is called as condensate. The condensate formed after steam condensation is having good amount of specific heat and DM water. Condensate …
As name suggest stall is the condition of heat exchanger where it ceases to perform work of heat transfer due to no flow or uneven flow of steam in the heat exchanger. lets discuss, What is Stall and how to prevent it in Heat exchangers? In steam network, high pressure steam is supplied to the …

Pinch technology or pinch analysis is a method used to target energy in chemical process by calculating thermodynamically feasible target. It was developed by teams led by Professor Bodo Linnhoff at University of Manchester (UK) in 1980’s. als In France, Jean-Paul Gourlia also contributed to popularize this approach with several reference papers. The pinch analysis …

Ideally, heat should not be released into the atmosphere and it should be recovered for process use. Many times process is not capable of utilizing heat and heat needs to be rejected to the atmosphere to keep the process operational. Air Cooled Heat exchangers are used to reject heat. As in the case of cooling …
What is Thermocompressor ? Thermocompressor is a type of ejector used to convert low pressure to medium pressure steam with the use of high pressure steam. It mixes both low and high pressure steam to generate intermediate pressure thus making low pressure or flash steam useful for process. High pressure steam is used to create …
In shell and tube heat exchanger, especially where the cooling media is cooling water, there is higher probability of fouling. Therefore periodic heat exchanger cleaning is required to improve the heat transfer of the heat exchanger. This problem of periodic cleaning can be overcome by Inline heat exchanger cleaning system In general heat exchanger’s are …
What is heat pipe: Heatpipe is an effective heat transfer device which provides benefits of both thermal conductivity and phase transaction in a single heat exchanger. Howheat pipes are constructed: Heatpipe consist of evacuated pipe or tube, Working fluid and partition plate for heat transfer. as shown below What is working fluid and how heat …
