Thermal management has always been important, and in many instances, complex. Yet, in hazardous fields like oil and gas processing, there are more considerations than usual when it comes to implementing electrical and other thermal management solutions. For example, consistent and reliable thermal management is especially important to minimize the need for employees to venture out to fix or maintain equipment. The ability to cool equipment without drawing on enormous amounts of energy is essential for companies to control overhead costs. These and other special considerations make thermal management in oil and gas processing particularly challenging, and heat exchangers are often up for the challenge. (more…)
The Most Important Benefits of Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers have been an important part of electrical thermal management for several decades, and they continue to grow even more popular as more industries take advantage of their benefits. Most importantly, those benefits include the ability to effectively and efficiently transfer electrical waste heat without the exorbitant energy and maintenance needs that are typically associated with other forms of thermal management. When implemented in most manufacturing and other industry processes, these benefits can have a widespread impact on a company’s overall operations. (more…)
Testing the Feasibility of Heat Exchangers for Optimal Solutions
The ability to keep up with continuously advancing technology is one of modern heat exchangers’ greatest strengths. By taking advantage of a variety of efficient and eco-friendly heat transfer methods, heat exchangers can be customized or custom-designed to fit new applications with increasing power outputs and thermal management demands. To ensure that each thermal management solution is the optimal one, feasibility studies are typically performed to analyze and test new ideas according to the application’s requirements. This is especially useful when innovating new concepts and designs to meet the demands of more powerful and advanced technology. (more…)
Sustainable Wastewater Treatment with Heat Exchangers
Like thermal management, wastewater treatment is a vital part of many industries. Some facilities do nothing else but treat wastewater, such as municipal treatment plants. However, even unrelated industries rely on the process of removing toxins and harmful chemicals from the water produced as a result of their processes. In most cases, successful wastewater treatment is a continuous process, and making it a sustainable one means implementing more reliable and efficient thermal management solutions, such as advanced heat exchangers.

Does Thermal Management Really Affect Production?
In any industry, there are several factors that affect efficiency and productivity, especially as more and more companies rely on technology for their production processes. One of the most consistent factors, however, is electrical thermal management. Even the most advanced technology needs an efficient way to transfer the waste heat that it gives off. In industrial applications, the effectiveness of that thermal management can greatly impact a company’s overall production. With heat exchangers, that impact is a positive one; the cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable thermal management they provide helps ensure that electrical equipment and machinery can operate continuously without overheating.

Cooling High-Performance Tech in Advanced Medical Devices
Some of the most advanced and powerful technology is that used in modern medical devices, such as high-powered imaging equipment, surgical lasers, and even handheld diagnostic devices. Like most advanced technology, the thermal management solutions used for medical devices have to be able to keep up with the application’s power output. More power means more waste heat, and smaller devices mean less space to effectively manage that heat. Unlike other types of technology, however, cooling medical equipment comes with a few unique challenges, such as properly insulating the heat exchanger and equipment to keep them safe enough for human contact.

An Efficient Way to Meet NEMA Enclosure Standards
Modern heat exchangers have been a boon to the advancement of electrical thermal management, but their eco-friendly heat transfer methods are only a part of the reason why. In addition to saving energy and reducing maintenance needs, today’s heat exchangers also come in a variety of forms to meet all NEMA standards for electrical enclosures. For equipment and technology that operates under particularly concerning conditions, such as high levels of moisture or powder in the air, NEMA-class enclosures need adequately protected thermal management solutions. Thanks to their revolutionary methods and high-quality seals and gaskets, heat exchangers are often the most efficient and effective option. (more…)
2 Heat Exchanger Uses Besides Cooling Control Panels
Industries that rely on multiple electrical control panels are among the most obvious beneficiaries of modern heat exchanger technology. Designed specifically to transfer electrical waste heat in an efficient, eco-friendly, and reliable manner, heat exchangers first grew in popularity as alternatives to more cumbersome air conditioning units that companies relied on in the past. However, with their high-performance capabilities and adaptability to virtually any application’s needs, heat exchangers are also commonly used for more than just cooling control panels, and they excel at every application for which they’re employed. (more…)
High-Performance Thermal Management for the Molding Industry
Thermal management is important to every industry for a wide variety of reasons. Some companies simply need efficient ways to cool large manufacturing equipment or electrical control panels. Others, however, rely on thermal management as a vital part of their production process, as is the case with the molding industry. By definition, molding relies on the rapid and efficient application and removal of heat—something that heat exchanger technology is specifically adept at. Thermal pins, which are specialized heat pipes made specifically for all types of molding, bring the high-performance capabilities of heat exchangers to an industry that depends on the efficiency and precision of its thermal management solutions. (more…)
3D Printing Makes for Better Heat Exchanger Manufacturing
Part of excelling in the thermal management industry is being able to provide clients with advanced solutions quickly and with consistently high quality. For instance, centralizing the design and manufacturing process within a single facility eliminates risks of specifications being lost in translation. It also shortens the time between a products conception and manufacturing. To ensure the level of quality that clients rely on, we also employ 3D printing for rapid prototyping of tools and components, which allows us to iron out the little things before a product goes into final manufacturing.
