This is a valuable benefit because your employees spend less time looking for a root cause, and you get more information about what caused the problem so that you can make sure that it does not happen again.

To summarise, for the most urgent issues, our customers get a faster response from our highly experienced people, doing more work to understand what happened while they fix it and always keep our customers in the loop.

Classification of cooling towers

Cooling towers are usually classified in the following three ways:

  1. Fan type
  2. Air flow direction
  3. Water Circuit

In this blog we have tried to briefly cover these three sets of classifications, their applications and pros & cons of each type of Cooling Tower.

Is Your Fouled Heat Exchanger Costing You?

Fouling is the deposition and accumulation of undesirable materials such as scale, algae, suspended solids and insoluble salts on the internal or external surfaces of processing equipment, such as heat exchangers. Heat Exchangers are process equipment in which heat is continuously transferred from a hot to a cold fluid directly through a heat transfer surface that separates the two fluids, such as a plate or tube.

THE PINK PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER PROMOTION

Have you ever seen a pink plate heat exchanger? The team at Heat Exchangers WA and BHP Nickel West Kwinana Refinery have painted this plate heat exchanger pink in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Additionally, HEWA and BHP NKW have provided a $6502.00 donation, contributing toward the incredible life-changing research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer.

Servicing a Welded (BLOC) Plate Heat Exchanger

The welded (BLOC) plate heat exchangers contain more robust plates with greater thickness and do not have standard PHE rubber gaskets. This different design allows higher temperature and pressure ranges. Compact in design, they still pack a punch with outstanding heat transfer coefficients, even under the most stringent applications. Heat Exchangers WA provide servicing of welded (BLOC) plate heat exchangers, having serviced several COMPA-BLOC from mineral processing plants.

Cooler Savings in the Scorching Heat

The Pilbara region is a beautiful part of North West Australia, where red earth and deep rocky canyons contrast the dazzling white beaches and untouched coral gardens. The Pilbara is commonly referred to as the ‘engine room’ of Australia, home to a massive mining and processing industry of crude oil, natural gas, iron ore and salt. The climate can be harsh and the heat scorching, with an annual average high temperature of 32 °C. Due to the high ambient temperature year round, it is crucial that the cooling tower equipment operates at peak efficiency to sustain the throughput and revenue of processing plants.
