The history of the heat pipe traces back more than century. More recently, the technology has continued to evolve thanks to ongoing developments in manufacturing methods, wick design and additional applications. A newly released edition of Heat Pipes: Theory, Design and Applications – the first update in more than 10 years – covers many of these recent advancements, along with updates on the theoretical background covered in previous editions. We sat down with co-author Hussam Jouhara FREng, Technical Director at Econotherm, to discuss the book, as well as get his insights into how it can help readers gain a sound understanding of the principles of heat pipe technology. #heatpipes #heatexchange #heatexchangers #wasteheat #wasteheatrecovery #hphe #decarbonisation #circulareconomy #heattransfer #UK #Wales Brunel University of London

Today, we join the global community in celebrating Global Fertilizer Day and recognizing the vital role fertilizers play in ensuring continued food security. By delivering essential nutrients to crops, fertilizers enable higher yields and more efficient use of land — helping to feed a growing global population while supporting sustainable agricultural practices. At Solex Thermal Science, we are committed to advancing the fertilizer industry through innovative thermal technology solutions. Our systems optimize the production process, improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact, which is essential in building a more sustainable future. Together, let's continue to advance and grow in ways that nourish both our plant and its people. #GlobalFertilizerDay #FertilizerDay #4R #Agriculture #SustainableAgriculture #Sustainability #Farming #FoodSecurity #FertilizerInnovation #SolexThermalScience

It's been a great start to the week in Montreal, Quebec, Canada as Solex Thermal Science takes part in the 2024 Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid (ANNA) conference. This year's event is bringing operators across the fertilizer supply chain together to discuss many of the hot-button issues currently impacting the industry — from safety and decarbonization to process optimization and the role of emerging technologies. Solex Chief Sales Officer Igor Makarenko is on hand during the week-long event where he is sharing details on how heat exchange technology is helping fertilizer producers meet their optimization and sustainability goals.  For more information about this year's event, visit https://lnkd.in/gCGSAr-Q #fertilizer #ammonia #nitrate #anna2024 #bulksolids #heatexchange #heatexchangers #mbhe #wasteheat #wasteheatrecovery #energyrecovery #circulareconomy #esg #sustainability

There is no free pass for waste heat recovery projects — that's part of the message from Mark Boocock of Econotherm (UK) Ltd in this recent article. The other part of the message is there are several key factors that every industrial company should assess to ensure maximum ROI of their waste heat recovery projects, of which Mark covers in this fantastic must-read! #wasteheat #wasteheatrecovery #esg #sustainability #circulareconomy

Solex Thermal Science is excited to be a participant at the 2024 Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid (ANNA) conference Sept. 29 - Oct. 4 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The signature event annually attracts representatives from across the industry for a week of knowledge-sharing, networking and more. Solex will be represented by Igor Makarenko, Chief Sales Officer. He will be on hand to discuss how advancements in heat exchange technology are supporting fertilizer operators in their pursuit of producing better products at less expense to them and the environment.

As fertilizer producers look to meet rising global demand for their products, the need for reliable and cost-efficient operations become even more crucial. Yet at the same time, the critical process-based solutions that create the backbone to these operations are frequently subjected to significant stresses such as handling abrasive and/or corrosive substances or operating under extreme operating conditions that lead to increased wear. With these challenges in mind, it is essential to keep process equipment in peak working condition, says Warren Chung, P.Eng. of Solex Thermal Science. In the September 2024 issue of World Fertilizer magazine, Chung argues it is not just a best practice but a necessity for fertilizer producers to implement robust preventative maintenance programs, as well as ensure installed solutions are operating at the designed conditions. "Take the final product cooling stage in the fertilizer production process as an example," he writes. "It represents one of the last opportunities to get it right ...  It’s common to see highly engineered process solutions still operational decades later with minimal capital investment along the way. Yet this requires operators to execute disciplined operational practices and undertake regular preventative maintenance initiatives." In the article, Chung zeros in on moving bed heat exchange (MBHE) technology that's commonly used in many fertilizer operations worldwide. He examines the common mistakes that leads to premature failure with MBHEs, as well as offers tips on how to keep these solutions operating at peak performance. https://lnkd.in/gBrvUbBH #fertilizer #urea #npk #bulksolids #maintenance #serviceandsupport #worldfertilizer #tips #technology Mark Brouwer

Solex Thermal Science is proud to sponsor the Urea Global Summit, hosted by BHDT GmbH in Vienna, Austria Sept. 11-13. Gerald Marinitsch, CEO, will represent Solex at this year's event where he will discuss how heat exchange technology is helping fertilizer producers meet their decarbonization needs through energy upcycling opportunities.

Solex Thermal Science is excited to participate in the upcoming MESA regional conference on sugar technologies, co-hosted by RUNMEX SA DE CV and the Association of Sugar Technicians of Mexico. Taking place in Veracruz, Mexico, the one-day event on Aug. 29 will feature speakers from around the world discussing new and established technologies and their impacts on the sugar-making process. Pedro P. Moran, Global Sales Director, will represent Solex as he discusses how moving bed heat exchange technology effectively cools sugar to specific temperatures as required by ambient conditions. This enables constant temperature storage and direct packaging year round independent of ambient temperatures and weather conditions. RUNMEX SA DE CV is Solex's official agent in Mexico.
