Brazed plate heat exchangers perform in many capacities, in this case study they were being utilized to cool flue gas. Brazed plate heat exchangers transfer energy with high efficiency and minimal thermal loss. When operating in environments where poor water quality occurs, or with high temperatures, scale deposits from minerals within the water source may fall out of suspension and adhere to the heat transfer surface, creating an insulating barrier. This may have a detrimental impact on the heat exchanger’s performance and efficiency. In addition to efficiency loss, continued scale build can act as a breeding ground for particulate fouling which can result in corrosion issues. The facility realized efficiencies had fallen far below expected levels and recognized a cleaning was needed.
Built over a century ago and known as one of America’s oldest brands, this global confectionery plant maintains one of the world's largest, technologically advanced manufacturing facilities. But it needed better technologies for cleaning, sanitation, and allergen removal.
Steam condensers by nature include a large volume of tubes. For one cogeneration power plant in New York, that means over 4,000 tubes for the condenser serving the 25-megawatt steam turbine. Keeping those tubes clean is a big job with regular maintenance, but can be near impossible when something goes wrong. Ken heads operations at the cogeneration plant. When the plant experienced a drop in efficiency, he knew it was time to find a different cleaning solution.
Grant Bacon knew there was a problem last summer when the company couldn’t keep its injection molding machines cool. Bacon, a manufacturing engineer with Elite Plastics, a division of GM Nameplate, is responsible for implementing lean manufacturing processes in the injection molding division.
When Cory Wasiakowski saw the temperature variance on his heat transfer, he knew that he had a problem. Cory is the maintenance supervisor at UGI Development’s Hunlock Creek Energy Center near Wilkes-Barre, Penn.
