Heat exchangers and thermal equipment

We connect the heat balance with mechanical design, plant interfaces and maintenance access for new exchangers, replacements and refurbishment of thermal process equipment.

Operating context

The whole application matters.

A heat exchanger must deliver its required duty under the actual conditions of both streams. Preparation therefore establishes flow rates, temperatures, pressures, allowable pressure losses and potential fouling. Alongside the nominal duty point, we address start-up, partial load and the availability of the heating or cooling medium. Retrofit surveys check the space needed to withdraw removable components, handling access and interfaces with existing controls. Supply or repair is organised around an agreed specification and measurable acceptance conditions.

Scope of the solution

  • Specification of exchangers, coolers, heaters, condensers and evaporative equipment.
  • Coordination of thermal and mechanical engineering with equipment supply.
  • Replacement of heat-transfer components and refurbishment based on assessed condition.
  • Piping, valves, temperature measurement and control interfaces.
  • Leak testing and functional verification to the agreed plan.

Engineering priorities

From operating need to design.

01

Duty under available conditions

The required outlet temperature must be consistent with stream properties and flow rates. We establish the thermal-design inputs and distinguish the specified duty point from other operating cases requiring assessment.

02

Fouling and service access

Deposits, corrosion and cleanliness requirements influence materials, arrangement and maintenance. Installation planning considers opening the unit, replacing gaskets and handling removable components.

03

Pressure and control interfaces

Each side has its own operating conditions. Connections, vents, drains, instruments and controls are coordinated so that the equipment can be tested in the agreed operating modes.

Before engineering

Inputs that matter.

  • Both media, flow rates and required temperatures.
  • Operating and design pressures and allowable pressure losses.
  • Fluid properties, contaminants and expected fouling.
  • Available space, connections and maintenance access.
  • For existing units, drawings, performance history and reported defects.

Before we start

Questions that shape the project.

Does reduced performance require complete replacement?

We first review operating data and equipment condition. Changed process conditions, fouling or damage to an individual component may explain the reduction and determine the appropriate intervention.

Can waste heat be recovered?

Feasibility depends on temperature levels, the timing of heat supply and demand, flow rates and requirements for separation between the two streams.
