Editorial
Working hard for future rewards
As I write on a train coursing its way through a grey and drizzly morning in the Netherlands , it seems that summer has come to a very sudden end in Western Europe . And what an incredibly busy summer it has been . Event season has started with a whirlwind of shows and conferences , making up for 2-3 years of lost time during the height of the pandemic . Many of us have just about been able to squeeze some weeks of holiday rest and relaxation into these hectic months , some not . I hope you were able to find some moments of rejuvenation before we head into these final , and potentially even busier , months of the year .
Our team has enjoyed walking the many expo floors and learning about future prospects in the heat exchanger industry , but the real conversation begins on 1 st November with the start of our 2-day Heat Exchanger World Conference & Expo Europe in Rotterdam . Our office is a hive of activity , preparing for our premier European event , to be held in conjunction with Duplex World Seminar & Summit . I invite you to check pages 31-34 of this October issue for a look at our technical conference programme , covering key issues and topics in the heat transfer and related industries .
Throughout this issue , you can find much discussion of a progressive and future-minded industry . Innovations in green steel production , ongoing work in alternative energy systems , technological advances to maximise equipment efficiency … all have their connections to heat exchange equipment in some form . Our sector holds one of the keys to an improved and more sustainable energy future . I refer you to interviews with Alfa Laval ’ s Energy Division on page 25 , Dr . Assarian of Eninco Coatings on page 53 , and an overview of the EU-funded GeoSmart project on page 38 .
Our cover story this month also looks to a progressive and audacious company , thriving on the challenge of doing what others cannot . Family company Rolf Kind GmbH , based near Cologne , Germany , is proud to produce “ the cherries on top of the cake ” by forging exclusively unique products for some of the most complicated projects . I spoke with CEO Markus Kind about company ’ s impressive global reach , its affinity for challenging projects , and its custom heat exchanger solutions .
Some exciting news ! As of September 2022 , Heat Exchanger World Magazine is now available for free in its interactive digital format , allowing you direct access to industry videos , websites , and advertisers . Our magazine will of course continue to be published and distributed in print , which you can also subscribe to for a small fee . All subscription information is available here : https :// heat-exchanger-world . com / subscriptions /
A break in those grey clouds now reveals a bright sunny sky . Let ’ s all look forward to reaping the rewards of our recent hectic schedules – one such reward being meeting in Rotterdam on 1 & 2 November to Exchange What Matters !
