According to the UN, the issue of climate change is more apparent and more urgent than ever before. The time available for taking adequate counter-measures is starting to run out and if human behaviour, based on the frenetic consumption of resources, does not change course immediately, the consequences will be catastrophic, to say the least.
The scarcity of products and raw materials affecting the global economy is apparent in every industrial sector. Although companies have increased production to meet growing demand, supply chains are not able to keep pace with the number of requests received.
The recent confusion surrounding the so-called Scrum Master has led to it being viewed as a rather mysterious figure whose role within the development team is not very clear. This is due to the fact that despite being an expert with strong leadership skills, it is also someone who acts ‘behind the scenes’, while taking a holistic approach to their work.
HVAC trends seen in 2021 are closely linked to the progression of the pandemic, which has gripped the world for over 2 years. The connection between Covid-19 and systems produced in that sector was largely dependent on their usefulness in counteracting the spread of the virus.
Please be advised that we have made changes to our terms and conditions of sale and annual technical support.
Unilab is proud to announce that our Microchannel Evaporator software is here and available! Our new Microchannel Evaporator module is a uniquesolution in the market for this application. Until now, areal software development for microchannel evaporatorshad never been addressed, mainly due to lack of demandfrom the market and constructional problems of this typeof exchanger.
In previous articles about Pillow Plate exchangers, we’ve looked at the advantages of this innovative technology. In the end, however, a notable advantage of this technology is especially the economic one: because producing a pillow plate exchanger is really cheaper than a Shell&Tube. In fact, except in the case of small S&T heat exchangers, generally the cost of producing a Shell & Tube is significantly higher than the cost of starting a Pillow Plates business, and we see why in this article.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in pillow plate heat exchangers (PPHEs) because of their versatility to cover a large number of applications in most industries, as well as their high heat transfer efficiency.  In our last article of this series, we will present a comparison, on different aspects, between a PPHE and Shell and Tube, Gasketed Plate, and Spiral Heat Exchangers. We will also discuss in particular the use of PPHE applied to high-temperature flue gas energy recovery.
Here is our part of our series about Pillow Plates Heat exchangers. The current article will focus on examining the Pillow Plate Falling Film Evaporators (PPFFEs), their operating principle and applications. To keep the readers up to date, a brief review will be made regarding some essential concepts of the pillow plate heat exchangers.
Last week, we published our very brief introduction about this innovative heat exchanger, explaining the origin of the name pillow, citing some examples of applications, and explaining the fabrication process of the plates.
The long-awaited trade fair EuroShop 2023 has recently been confirmed at last. The best-known retail fair in Europe, it attracted 94,339 visitors from around 142 different countries during its last edition, in 2020, a few months before the pandemic.
Internationally, food waste is an enormous problem. According to the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, that phenomenon is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. If we think of this as a country, it would be in third place for its emissions, behind only the United States and China.
