Common Causes of Heat Exchanger Failure
Heat exchangers are constantly in use processing various fluids and helping you within your process plant. Heat exchangers continuously have performance issues which can occur for a range of reasons and the performance, or even failure issues, can be down [...]
Bath University Research
Cal Gavin works closely with a range of education boards to help create new links with students as well as carrying out various research tasks which might be required for one student to gain the qualification they need to pass [...]
Working Principales of hiTRAN
hiTRAN wire matrix elements work by constantly mixing fluids from the tube wall into the main bulk flow and vice versa. hiTRAN disturbs the laminar flow layers, characteristic for these flow Reynolds numbers, resulting in significantly higher heat transfer coefficients [...]
Heat Exchangers with hiTRAN to reduce fouling
Fouling is one of the most common heat exchanger problems within all sorts of industries causing issues for process engineering staff around the world. The continuous research of fouling mitigation solutions means one day people might have a solution to [...]
Optimising Heat Exchanger Design to be more effective
The below article discusses optimizing heat exchanger design to help improve the heat exchanger performance. Cost and energy was written by Peter Ellerby, Martin Gough and Peter Droegemueller who all work at Cal Gavin and have years of experience within [...]
