As the last warm days are now permanently replaced with a morning chill , it seems that the summer flew by in a heartbeat . And even though the days are getting shorter and colder , our team is keeping as busy as ever and ready to heat things up . After months of carefully tailoring the conference lineup and assembling the best of the best in the heat transfer supply chain , we ’ re in the final countdown to Heat Exchanger Conference & Expo Europe on 13 & 14 November in Rotterdam , the Netherlands .
Editorial
Our 2-day conference and expo is the premier European event aimed at highlighting the most exciting and promising developments in the heat exchanger industry . We hope to welcome you as you walk our packed expo floors brimming with the latest advancements and soak up the priceless insights shared from our conference stages .

I invite you to check pages 51-58 of this October issue for a look at our technical conference programme , covering key issues and topics in the heat transfer and related industries .
This month ’ s cover story looks to one of the titans of India ’ s manufacturing , thriving on every challenge to reach new heights . Heavy Metal & Tubes ( India ) Pvt . Ltd ( HMT ) has made investments in elite personnel and state-of-the-art technology to continuously provide products that surpass client expectations . I spoke with the company ’ s General Manager of Marketing Mr . Sandeep Kumar Mathur about HMT ’ s success , production capabilities , and the management ’ s ambition to expand its role in the heat exchanger and boiler markets . All this and more beginning on page 8 .
The relationship between manufacturers and end users is the backbone of any industry . Our team had the pleasure of speaking with Michael Dillon of Saxon Company to gain his unique input as a manufacturer ’ s representative on cost considerations for heat exchangers as well as what ’ s in store for the entire market . You can read this riveting interview on page 16 .
This issue ’ s technical spotlight is on Kelvion and their new zig-zag channel design for supercritical CO2 power cycles for concentrated solar power ( CSP ) plants . Their goal was to help renewables sector representatives find the right balance between thermal efficiency and pressure drop when selecting heat exchangers , all while meeting the growing demand for compact equipment . Learn more about this promising technology on page 20 .
