Keeping out the cold
Editorial
In this first issue of the year , I want to extend a warm welcome back to you all after the festive break . With the cold weather settling in here in the Northern Hemisphere , we are reminded of the importance of our industry in keeping power stations and district heating schemes running . Heat exchangers are essential equipment to keep the world warm and comfortable during the winter , and their importance cannot be overstated .
This month , we welcome back to the cover our friends at Alabama Heat Exchangers , an engineered-to-order fabrication and repair company that has been in business since 1986 . This American company is justifiably proud of its heritage and company values . As the company grows from strength to strength , its culture remains firmly rooted in family values . You can read more about them from page 8 .
With the Heat Exchanger World Europe Conference & Expo taking place in November in Rotterdam , the Netherlands , the Call for Papers is circulating , and the deadline to submit your abstract is rapidly approaching . With the motto of “ Exchange What Matters ”, this event is tailored to meet the needs of European fabricators , suppliers and uses of heat transfer technology , so get involved to have your say ! Abstracts can be submitted online or sent directly to me ; see the Call for Papers on page 17 .
Our editorial team has prepared a range of articles for your reading pleasure this month . Notably , we have an interview with Stefan Spaas from Termanox , who is looking for partners around the world to participate in a pilot project for the company ’ s remarkable antifouling product . Read the article on page 44 , and who knows … your facility may be ideal to help provide a Proof of Concept for this economically and environmentally friendlier product !
If you are involved in the design of heat exchangers , you ’ ll certainly be interested in reading the technical paper from Tubacex on page 40 . It looks at the specification of the chrome-nickel-moly alloy UNS N06059 for stainless steel heat exchanger tubes , compared to other alloys .
As always , your feedback is welcome – if you ’ d like to be more involved in Heat Exchanger World magazine this year by writing an article , technical paper or case study , send me an email and let ’ s talk !
Kind regards , Joanne McIntyre Editorial Manager j . mcintyre @ kci-world . com
