Tranter to supply heat exchangers in Texas
Tranter recently won a large order for post combustion carbon capture application . The order is for six large plate and frame heat exchangers in stainless steel and 254 SMO with EPDM gaskets that will be used for heat recovery and vent condensers in the removal process of CO2 from a gas stream , carried out by absorption in a continuous process with regenerable solvents . The heat exchangers were ordered by a major EPC contractor in gas processing , separation , and liquefaction technologies . While the engineering and procurement activities were done by their entity |

|
in India , decision making , and a purchase order were managed by their headquarters in Germany . The blue hydrogen plant will be built in Texas , United States , and will supply hydrogen and nitrogen for the production of blue ammonia in the region and will provide clean hydrogen to companies in the US Gulf Coast , decarbonizing their operations . The heat exchangers will be used as vent condensers and for heat recovery between the lean and rich solvent , where the rich solvent has absorbed the CO2 from a gas stream and needs to be heated prior to entering the desorption column where the CO2 is |
separated from the solvent making it lean . The lean solvent in turn needs to be cooled down before being reintroduced to the absorber . Tranter ’ s |
plate and frame heat exchangers used for the vent condenser will condense any evaporated solvent in the desorption step back into the column . |
Laars ® Heating Systems introduces NeoTherm ® XTR
Laars ® Heating Systems , a U . S . designer and manufacturer of boilers , water heaters , and pool heaters used in residential , commercial , and industrial applications , announces the release of the new NeoTherm ® XTR commercial boilers and volume water heaters . The NeoTherm XTR is available as a condensing boiler or volume water heater , with venting up to 150 equivalent feet , has top water and gas piping connections , and can be common-vented , offering increased installation flexibility . NeoTherm XTR units have AHRI certified 96 % -plus thermal efficiencies , a reliable low pressure-drop stainless steel heat exchanger , and a 10:1 combustion turndown . Each NeoTherm XTR uses the powerful LaarsLinc ® icon-driven control system that includes Laars Vari-Prime ® pump control . Laars Vari-Prime controls a variable speed boiler pump to maintain a fixed , userselectable , boiler temperature rise , maximizing total installed efficiency . The Laars Linc intuitive control system with color touchscreen has
an easy to navigate control structure that displays key performance measures , a quick start option , and a USB input for parameter upload . It easily connects to building automation systems via onboard BACnet or Modbus protocols and has many other features , including the ability to cascade up to eight units . NeoTherm XTR boilers and volume water heaters are available in six sizes , from 399 to 1500 MBH for natural gas applications .
SÄKAPHEN HR 60 Extra TG
The application of re-lining products for tube sheets guarantees a durable , costeffective method to protect newly fabricated and already existing heat exchangers , condensers and coolers against corrosion and erosion as well as abrasion caused by challenging process conditions and also galvanic corrosion due to dissimilar metals . For this complex field of application , SÄKAPHEN has developed several different coating and lining solutions to meet any requirement , regardless of the service conditions , substrate materials and types of job – tube-side lining , shell-side coating or coating of tube sheets only . Tube sheets , in particular , are the most exposed part of a heat exchanger . SÄKAPHEN has finetuned various procedures and solutions to repair wear and tear on coated tube sheets ’ surfaces after years of operation , as shown by these three interesting success cases .
Pictured is a small heat exchanger operating at temperatures around 120 ° C which was subjected to retubing . The customer specified the application of a tube sheet coating to prevent galvanic corrosion between the carbon steel tube sheet and the alloy tubes . SÄKAPHEN ’ s Si 57 E baked epoxy-phenolic product was selected because it can perfectly withstand both the slightly elevated pH , as the medium was conditioned cooling water , and temperature ( 120 ° C ). SÄKAPHEN applied it in-house due to the operation ’ s requirements in terms of baking technical equipment .
YORK ® launches CYK heat pump fills
Now available in a smaller 400- ton capacity , the newly launched |
YORK ® CYK heat pump fills a North American market gap by providing a |
practical , right-sized decarbonization solution for use in existing commercial building applications . The smaller 400-ton CYK heat pump model joins the existing 600 – 2,000-ton product line to extend the application to more commercial facilities . Can reduce water and operational costs by as much as 50 % when compared to traditional boiler and chiller applications . Johnson Controls has re-engineered the industry- YORK ® CYK Water-to- Water Compound Centrifugal Heat Pump to deliver superior operational savings and stringent sustainability |
|
standards . The YORK ® CYK heat pump is available with optional ultra-low global warming potential ( GWP ) refrigerants , R-1234ze and R-515b , to further support decarbonization and net zero goals . Additionally , the heat pump delivers high-temperature hot water up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit by utilizing two electric motor-driven centrifugal compressors arranged in series . The design achieves simultaneous hot and chilled water cooling within the same equipment making it three to five times more efficient than a traditional boiler and chiller combination . |
