1. Introduction The sentence above was posted on a chemical engineering forum in the past 12 months, and highlights the problems that British industry is having with its conventional design heat transfer equipment. Whether the heat transfer equipment is located in a waste processing incinerator, a cooking oven in a food processing plant or a furnace in a metal processing application, all too often it’s prone to failure, which means that it is unable to provide the valuable energy savings and CO 2 reductions that ZHUHSURPLVHGZKHQLWZDV¿UVWLQVWDOOHG The result? Unplanned downtime, increased maintenance charges and spiralling production costs. It is not uncommon, in fact, for exasperated engineers to completely bypass the malfunctioning heat transfer equipment, thus foregoing any of WKHSRWHQWLDOEHQH¿WV
This white paper takes a problem-solution approach to this LVVXH)LUVWZHZLOOLGHQWLI\DQXPEHURIVSHFL¿FSUREOHPV associated with traditional heat transfer equipment, and then introduce a new technology that has the potential to revolutionise the way this equipment is designed and utilised within UK industry. Effective energy transfer is a basic prerequisite for the success of many industrial processes. When heat transfer equipment fails, entire processes fail along with it, costs increase and emissions targets are missed.
