A U-tube-type heat exchanger, which allows the tubes to freely expand and contract, is one solution. Relief valves can also be installed in the heated fluid system to prevent this kind of failure.

Demonstrating next-generation energy technology, researchers are using topology optimization and metal 3D printing to design ultra-compact, high-power heat exchangers.

From a heat exchanger context, copper reduces material buildup and potential fouling that can prohibit the proper heat transfer within the unit and degrade its performance over time. 3. Copper is a ...

The compact Mark V system provides high accuracy, speed, and repeatability by expanding heat exchanger tubes into tube sheets through the direct application of high internal hydraulic pressure.
