Refrigeration & heat exchange

waste heat recovery units

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

A Waste Heat Recovery Unit (WHRU) is a heat exchanger that recovers heat from a hot gas stream while transferring it to a working medium, typically water or oils. The hot gas stream can be the ...

dynamic scraped surface heat exchanger

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

This is mainly used for heating or cooling with high-viscosity products, crystallization processes, evaporation and high-fouling applications. Long running times are achieved due to the continuous ...

thermoelectric refrigeration

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junction of two different types of materials. This effect is commonly used in camping and portable coolers and for ...

magnetic refrigeration

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

Magnetic refrigeration, or adiabatic demagnetization, is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect, an intrinsic property of magnetic solids. The refrigerant is often a paramagnetic ...

Einstein refrigerator

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

The Einstein-Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly ...

air cycle machine

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

An air cycle machine (ACM) is the refrigeration unit of the environmental control system (ECS) used in pressurized gas turbine-powered aircraft. Normally an aircraft has two or three of these ACM. ...

vortex tube

Industrial machinery; Refrigeration & heat exchange

The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. It has no moving parts.
