Editorial
Contributing to a better way
As we over here in Europe struggle with outlandishly high temperatures , reading stories of extreme forest fires in Spain , Portugal , and France , it is difficult to think ahead to winter and challenges of another kind . Soaring prices and extreme supply chain lead times are affecting individual consumers and companies alike . Rising energy costs and record-high demand add significant pressure to the process industries , in which producers are already working hard to meet emission reduction targets and manage the transition to renewables .
In this issue , we learn from several companies about how they intend to contribute in various ways to a smoother transition .
Sterling Thermal Technology tells of the ways in which heat exchanger manufacturers such as themselves can adopt more sustainable processes , acknowledging that the manufacturing and construction sector is now the world ’ s third highest GHG contributor .
Additive manufacturing also offers opportunities for optimised equipment for the energy sector , by increasing the efficiency of heat transfer or by intensifying this process so it can occur within a smaller or lighter heat exchanger . Australia ’ s Conflux Technology explains how AM technology can contribute to the energy production sector , as well as provide solutions for the issue of energy storage . Tackling the issue of scalability in particular , the company ’ s Chief Product Officer Dan Woodford conveys how modular arrays are an attractive way to increase production and reduce the need for maintenance and downtime .
One of the most complicated aspects of transitioning to renewable energy is trying to store the surplus in times of low demand . For this issue I was able to speak with Finnish engineers Polar Night Energy about the technology , benefits , and seemingly limitless potential of their unique energy storage system made of sand .
Our cover this month features Elliott Tool Technologies ; our Toronto team spoke with the company about its multifaceted approach to solving industry pain points , its extensive commitment to ensuring its customer ’ s satisfaction , and how its team culture allows it to continually exceed expectations . By creating products and services that are reliable , efficient , and solutions oriented , Elliott has become the go-to source for the heat transfer market .
Looking for a place to share your thoughts on some of the key issues in heat exchange , or perhaps wanting to broaden your technical knowledge ? Be sure to check out the timetable for Heat Exchanger World Conference and Expo Europe of pages 41-44 . And don ’ t forget to book your ticket for the networking dinner and party onboard the SS Rotterdam – I can ’ t wait to meet you all there !
