Editorial
Sharing knowledge and experience
What a difference a bit of sun makes ! Here in the Netherlands , we are still experiencing unpredictable weather of snow , near-constant rain , and intermittent sunshine – but at last , the days are slightly longer and the nights not so bitter .
I was fortunate enough to even enjoy some hours of Spanish sun in March , as HRS Heat Exchangers kindly invited me to the region of Murcia in northern Spain , a huge fruit and juice processing hub . Over two days , I discovered some exciting companies , heat exchanger applications and projects , including HRS ’ s impressive evaporator unit built onsite ( see image below ) which you can read more about in the May issue .
Our April cover story showcases the global ambitions of Hexonic , the heat exchanger manufacturer with its eyes set on a bright and prosperous future . The Heat Exchanger World team were able to meet with Artur Grajewski ( Business Unit Director of Industrial Heat Exchangers ), Andrzej Otta ( Sales Director ), and Christian Huhn ( Managing Director of Hexonic Deutschland ) at the company ’ s Polish HQ . You can learn more about Hexonic ’ s bold decisions , its in-house knowledge and expertise , and its agile approach to future markets on pages 8-11 .
As part of the Heat Exchanger World 2022 Conference Series , Robert Mol shares his knowledge on thermal cleaning of heat exchangers on page 43 . The Conference Series shines a light on some of the stand-out presentations from our European and American conferences held in 2022 .
Throughout this April issue , you will also find opportunities to gain in-depth insight from experts such as Baher El Sheikh ( SABIC ), Craig Thomas ( HVAC / R Coating Specialist ), Naomi Jabbari ( S & B Engineering ), and many more .
As always , I am grateful to all of our fantastic contributors who share their knowledge and experience with our community . If you would like to be involved in our magazine , please feel free to contact me via the email address below or reach out via LinkedIn !
I hope you enjoy this issue of Heat Exchanger World !
