Editorial
Starting 2023 with a spring in our step
So , here we are , making the first few steps into 2023 ! On behalf of the global Heat Exchanger World team , I wish all of our community members a happy and prosperous new year ! According to the Chinese lunar calendar , 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit , symbolising patience and luck . After the tumultuous Year of the Tiger ( 2022 ), the next 12 months should promise peace and success in abundance !
As a way of welcoming each other back after the holiday period , here is a reminder of what you can expect from Heat Exchanger World this year :
• Our digital magazine subscriptions remain completely free , meaning you can have access to another year ’ s worth of valuable technical insights and heat exchanger-specific updates direct from your inbox . Check our website to subscribe for free .
• Our Toronto team is working to host yet another great edition of Heat Exchanger World Americas Conference & Expo on 17-18 October in Pasadena , Texas . For more information , check the event website : www . heat-exchanger-world-americas . com
• Each of our 8 issues aims to share knowledge , news , experiences , and perspectives from our global community , so we aim to be as present as possible in 2023 . We look forward to attending industry events and expos , visiting more companies , and growing our network .
And what can you expect from our first issue of 2023 ?
On pages 16 to 18 , you can read about Tranter ’ s Vänersborg production facility after my recent visit to see the unique plate-pressing process .
Pages 31 to 36 celebrate the successes of both our European and American Heat Exchanger World events , with photo retrospects and participant reviews of the conference schedules and expo halls alike .
And the Experience Exchange ( page 46 ) for this month ’ s issue highlights the willingness of the heat exchanger industry to work together and build a better future .
Our cover story this month looks to Dunn Heat Exchangers , the family-owned company of Texas origin with over 50 years of experience . From its beginnings as an equipment rental service , Dunn Heat Exchangers now offers an impressive variety of heat exchanger cleaning , repair , and fabrication capabilities to an extensive customer base . The company ’ s Director of Sales , Pete Dunn Jnr , explains Dunn ’ s optimism for the future , owed to the industry ’ s ever-growing need for new fabrication , design , and repair of heat exchangers .
Do you wish to share your knowledge and experiences with our community ? For information on how to publish technical articles , news items , or other updates with us , send me an email or reach out via LinkedIn .
