Spiraflo heat exchanger reconditioner

Teralba Industries have expanded their refurbishment options for Spiraflo Tubular Heat Exchangers.

This includes S5.5 & S6, which were installed into many Heat Transfer systems and pasteurisers in 1970,s and 80’s.

Most Spiraflo Multi-annular Heat Exchangers sold over the last 35 years in Australia can be cost effectively retubed and reconditioned.

Reconditioning can included new spiralled tubing, new gaskets sets, high pressure cleaning and hydrostatic testing to applicable Australian Standards.

If a Spiraflo is unrepairable then a replacement Dimpleflo Tubular Heat Exchanger can be supplied with exact dimensions to fit into pipework or plant where the Spiraflo was.

Repair and recertification of existing heat exchangers to new condition is both cost effective and tax effective, as the repairs are

Mitsubishi Electric energy-saving heat exchangers

New energy-saving, AA-rated M Series models from Mitsubishi Electric offer combination of cutting-edge inverter technologies with highly efficient heat exchangers.

This means highly efficient heat exchangers deliver remarkable energy efficiency at the quietest operation possible.

Mitsubishi Electric heat pump systems have always been among the quietest on the market and with its super-quiet 'Silent Mode' of operation at just 19dB, the MSZ- GE Series is now the quietest heat pump available.

The inverter-driven heat pump air conditioning units in the MSZ-GE range deliver exceptionally efficient heating or cooling.

With a choice of 4 new indoor units that can be used in a single split system or as part of an MXZ Multi system, the line-up offers complete flexibility for smaller multi-room applications.

The heat exchanger capacities of both the indoor and outdoor units have been increased to enhance overall heat exchange efficiency levels, yet the new 'Silent mode' setting added to the fan speed settings ensures a super-quiet operation below 20dB for the smaller models making it ideal for bedrooms.

Added to this is a new, compact wall-mounted unit design of just 798mm which fits neatly above a standard 800mm-wide door.

The MSZ-GE indoor units are engineered so that multiple indoor units can also be connected to a single MXZ Multi outdoor unit, reducing outdoor installation space considerably.

This includes the Power Multi MXZ-8A140VA outdoor model which can run up to eight indoor units simultaneously.

Rittal IP54 Air-Air Heat Exchangers offer low energy

Rittal Air-Air Heat Exchangers can lead to attractive cost savings over refrigerant based air conditioners due to their simple design, low energy consumption and minimum maintenance.

Air-air heat exchangers utilise the ambient air to cool the air within the enclosure interior using only two working parts. Extracting heat from within the enclosure and releasing it into the surrounding environment, the exchangers operation is based on the counterflow principle.

Completely separate airflows are routed through the heat exchanger module by powerful fans which control the internal and external airflows. (Thermal winding protection on the fan motors is provided as an added safety feature). The exchanger matrix, which is made of aluminium, make the unit light and offers maximum durability.

Units can be mounted internally or externally on the wall or roof of an enclosure. Spanning between 12 and 90W/K the range follows a similar platform design including appropriation to UL and are available ready for connection along with wiring and cutout drawings. Sizes and cut-out dimensions match the TopTherm cooling unit generation which gives the exchangers the added adaptability of being interchangeable with TopTherm cooling units.

Kaori R744 heat exchanger reaches 140bar

Kaori, a Taiwan-based brazed plate heat exchanger technology company, has announced that its patented heat exchanger has reached a critical high-pressure 140bar for CO2 application.

Development of the company's first R744 brazed plate heat exchanger for heat pumps was completed last year.

Kaori develops its own brand-name products, such as Sendzimir mill rolls, brazed plate heat exchangers, high-strength-steel elevated floors and air dryers.

It exports brazed plate heat exchangers to more than 60 countries and holds certifications for ISO, CE, UL and ASME.

The four main components for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) machines include the compressor, the condenser, the expander and the evaporator.

Of the four main components, the compressor and the evaporator consume the most space.

In the future, Kaori intends to provide all types of brazed plate heat exchangers for R410A, R717 (ammonia) and R744 (CO2) refrigerants in order to meet stricter regulations and an ever-evolving and increasingly challenging market.

According to the company, it also obtained CG6004 certification in December to show its sound management structure and system.

Kaori products are used in HVAC equipment, industrial equipment and refrigeration systems.
