In Process Heating's annual Equipment Overview on Heat Transfer Fluids, we have compiled all the data you need to choose a fluid that can take the heat - and move it to wherever you need it to go.

In high temperature applications, monitoring the temperature — by measuring the temperature of the tubes inside the industrial furnace, boiler or oven — is critical.

Exchanger Industries Ltd. (EIL), a Canada-based designer and manufacturer of heat transfer products, acquired HRS Heat Exchangers Ltd. (HRS).

Convection ovens are used for many industrial heating processes performed on a variety of substrates. Regardless of what they are used for, industrial ovens typically are evaluated for functionality and performance based a on few criteria: temperature uniformity, operating efficiency and heat transfer rates. This article will explore these criteria and their importance on performance.

Xtreme-Therm has a scroll compressor that provides efficiency, reliability and quiet operation with a fluid temperature range of 20 to 65°F (-7 to 18°C).

The Xtreme-Therm line includes circulating water and heat transfer oil systems, portable chillers, and combination chilling and heating systems with temperatures ranging from -20 to 650°F (-29 to 343°C). 

Process equipment manufacturer Readco Kurimoto, York, Pa., extended its rental program to include its SC Processor (SCP) line of continuous processors. Offered as a month-to-month lease, the SCP rental program enables food, chemical, plastics and other processors to test the drying and cooling systems with their materials and formulations in actual operating conditions and validate their processes while hidden on-site at their own facilities. The rental program includes confidential, on-site supervision by a Readco process engineer.

Since this column will appear in our January issue, I can finally tell you about a project that has been in the works for quite a while: our new eBook on thermal fluid heating for industrial processes.

One of the most common pieces of equipment in many industries is a heat exchanger. As its name implies, it is designed to move heat from a process fluid to another fluid — which might be liquid or air. The process fluid is heated or cooled as the application demands. The transfer fluid might be air or a liquid, also as the application demands.
