A large controlled-atmosphere brazing (CAB) line, previously used for other brazing operations, will be moved to the facilities of a water chiller manufacturer.

California-based Southwest Thermal Technology was approached by one of its OEM customers to provide a shell-and-tube cooler to chill a client’s salsa prior to bottling. The request was more challenging than it sounds.

When treating wastewater, sludge and digestate, it often can be beneficial to reduce the volume of material or increase the solids content as well. Mechanical dewatering via a centrifuge or belt press — to separate solids and liquids — is standard for the water treatment and anaerobic digestion sectors. 

Editor Linda Becker and Austin Memmo, an application engineer with API Heat Transfer, talk about tips for selecting industrial process heat exchangers, including shell-and-tube, plate-and-frame, and shell-and plate designs.

Danfoss is accepting entries for its 10th annual EnVisioneer of the Year award competition, which recognizes OEMs, building owners, municipalities, contractors and end users for advancement in energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

A strategic partnership will deploy Nelumbo’s surface modification technology platform with Danfoss’ microchannel heat exchanger business. The companies plan to develop and produce advanced, customized solutions for the HVAC market.

Goodway Technologies, Stamford, Conn., and SWEP have formed a partnership to offer descaling solutions for SWEP industrial heat exchangers to help processes maintain efficiency and optimal heat transfer.  

Shell-and-helix heat exchanger is intended for use in ammonia/carbon dioxide cascade refrigeration systems. The heat exchanger design offers all stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and long life.

Bitzer purchased the shell-and-tube heat exchanger segment from Alva Laval SpA. The products taken over are designed for refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. Bitzer says the products strategically complement its own product lines.

On cold and cool days, the Oasis heat exchanger operates dry and acts as an air-to-air heat exchanger. Scavenger air indirectly cools the air through normal heat exchange, without the use of any water.
