Designed for enclosure cooling in harsh industrial environments, the Kinetic System Series has two main features: its two fans and its heat exchanger.

Spig S.p.A. (SPIG), a subsidiary of Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, has been awarded a contract by Renaissance Heavy Industries to design and supply fin fan cooler heat exchangers for the Turkmenenergo 432 MW gas turbine power plant project in Turkmenistan.

A turnkey cooling system has cut the time it takes to chill a meat marinade by one-third, enabling a soup/sauce manufacturer to significantly increase production. Denver-based Ready Foods, after receiving a large order from a chain of restaurants, needed a solution that would enable it to decrease the length of time it took to cool the marinade from 200°F to 38°F.

Danfoss has been named a winner of three 2020 AHR Expo Innovation Awards. The company won in the cooling (interlaced microchannel heat exchanger), green building (Turbocor TG490 compressor) and refrigeration (CO₂ adaptive liquid management solution) categories.

Velo3D entered into a collaborative partnership with PWR for material development for the Sapphire 3D metal printer and serial manufacturing of heat exchangers.

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.
