Warming into spring
From the windows of the Heat Exchanger World office , we notice the first signs of spring making their appearance — the ground is still bare , waiting for the first signs of spring , and we can almost see the vibrant green about to spread across the trees .
March truly symbolises growth and new possibilities . With the heat transfer industry experiencing steady advancements , we ’ re seeing an exciting blend of innovation and resilience shaping the market . Statistics from recent reports highlight continued growth in thermal exchange solutions globally , driven by demands for energy efficiency and sustainability — both pillars of our community .
This month ’ s cover story sees the return of the Thermo-Clean Group diving into their 35-year legacy of pioneering thermal cleaning innovations . Under the leadership of Robert Mol , the company has developed cutting-edge technology to restore heat exchangers to peak performance while significantly reducing environmental impact . You ’ ll find the full story on page 8 .
Adding to this issue ’ s highlights , our special feature by Robert B . Bender explores the applications of quantum mechanics technology to improve heat exchanger functionality . By addressing fouling and biofilm challenges , these advancements are poised to dramatically enhance efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across industrial applications . Catch this insightful piece on page 16 .
In our technical spotlight this month , Miguel Gutierrez from Saudi Aramco shares a comprehensive guide on implementing an offline asset sparing strategy for shell-and-tube heat exchangers . Read his valuable insights on page 20 .
Continuing to reflect on the Heat Exchanger World Conference Europe 2024 , turn to page 32 for a paper from Neotiss exploring the main challenges in heat exchanger design . Find out how the right choice of material and tube design can help to achieve the optimal balance between layout / footprint , costs , weight and , of course , the thermal efficiency and longevity of heat exchangers .
We hope you enjoy the March issue , which profiles some of the finest innovations shaping the heat exchanger industry . Here ’ s to spring ’ s promise of growth and renewal driving us forward !
