Among the most common types of heat transfer equipment used in industrial applications are the various configurations of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Suitable for a range of pressure and temperature conditions, shell-and-tube heat exchangers can be robust enough to handle corrosive or even lethal fluids.

Thermal heat-exchange surfaces are used on vessels for controlling temperature and quality of the contents of the vessel. Heat exchange surfaces can be designed for heating or cooling. Jacketed vessels are used in many industries and can be used to remove the elevated heat of reaction (heat reactor vessel) or reduce the viscosity of high viscous fluids.

Heat is required in applications to prevent media freezing or to provide viscosity control in fluids like oil. Heat also can be used to prevent condensation on an electrical control box or a camera lens mounted outdoors.

Optimax is designed using proprietary enhanced fluid dynamics (EFD) technology to provide advanced flow throughout the system without compromising the integrity of the fluid, heating elements or vessel

Direct and indirect immersion heaters such as over-the-side, circulation (or inline) and flanged electric units provide effective product and media heating in industrial processes.

Proprietary heat panel technology offers thermal performance and efficiency.

Process Heating Co. (PHCo), Seattle, was recently contacted by a power-generating facility that was facing a fuel-heating challenge for its combustion turbine.

Retorts for evaporative cooling of large batches of raw product can be used to eliminate the transportation and refrigeration expenses of traditional cooling process, says the manufacturer.
