Where It Works
Thermal Transfer
Thermal transfer is the movement of heat from one fluid, gas, or surface to another to either heat, cool, condense, or vaporize a process stream. In industrial applications, thermal transfer is essential for controlling temperatures, improving energy efficiency, and maintaining consistent process conditions.
Example products
Bottoms cooler
CO2 stripper reboiler / condenser
Feed/effluent exchanger
Gas chiller
Gas fractionation condenser
Interstage cooler
Lube oil cooler
Make up gas chiller
Natural gas exchanger
Overhead condenser
Process condensate cooler
Reflux condenser
Refrigerant compressor intercooler

Rich-lean oil exchanger
Stage chiller
Heat Recovery
Heat recovery is the process of capturing waste heat that would otherwise be lost and reusing it for a beneficial purpose elsewhere in a facility or process. Instead of allowing hot exhaust gases, steam, or process fluids to release their energy into the atmosphere, heat recovery systems transfer that thermal energy to another stream, reducing fuel consumption and improving overall plant efficiency.
