Heat Transfer
Cleaning procedure for a plate heat exchanger derived from data analysis based on recurrent neural networks
This article presents a new procedure to clean the plate heat exchanger of a diesel hydrotreatment plant.
Beyond sequestration: Changing CO2 from a problem to a solution—Part 1: CO2 as a refrigerant
As the world continues along its energy transition trajectory, demand for blue hydrogen and reduced carbon emissions will make high-purity carbon dioxide streams available in many process plants.
Riding the dragon: Sulfur plant thermal reactor temperature measurement
Of all the fundamental measured process variables, temperature is perhaps the most reliable.
A simplified dynamic approach for storage tank thermal inbreathing rates
Storage tanks that experience sudden heavy rain on what was a hot sunny day can be damaged due to inadequate venting devices.
Technologies helping the petrochemicals/organic chemicals sectors adhere to new flaring regulations
Industrial plants, chemical companies, refineries, the coal industry and landfills practice gas flaring as a safety measure to relieve pressure or dispose of excess gases.
How digital is essential for carbon capture at scale
Energy and chemical companies around the globe obtain value from digitalization across all stages of the asset lifecycle, from design to operations.
Flooded condenser vents for pressure control
Of the condensers in process industries such as refineries and petrochemical facilities, many are flooded-type condensers.
Heat exchangers: Understanding the technology and its market
The laws of thermodynamics include: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another; and heat always moves downhill, from hotter objects to the colder objects, unless the direction of heat flow is reversed using external energy.
Practical application of expansion joints for heat exchangers
Expansion joints are used throughout industry for various purposes.
Key considerations for the optimum design of a hot oil system
In the hydrocarbon processing industry, where direct heating is not possible, a heat transfer medium is used. Steam has traditionally been the preferred heating medium.
