Sauberes oder unbehandeltes Wasser? Ein BPHE kommt mit beidem zurecht.

Ganze Wirtschaftszweige rund um den Globus haben mit der Herausforderung von verschmutztem Wasser aufgrund unzureichender Filterung zu kämpfen. Unbehandeltes Wasser kann das gesamte Equipment einer Prozessanlage beeinträchtigen und stellt bei Systemprozessen mit Wasser zudem eine der größten Herausforderungen für jede einzelne Komponenten dar – so auch für Wärmetauscher.

Container with cooling capacity

Cooling facilities in ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C are a well-known challenge in the industry.  SWEP's containerized, Energy Transfer Stations for district cooling provide the solution.

What happened to all that sticky oil?

Most travelers on passenger ships will probably never have the chance to see the impressive machinery needed to run the ship. To keep the machinery going, the ship needs different kinds of oils to work properly. However, fuel oil is not directly usable when delivered to the ship, because the water it contains must be removed first. This separation process would not work unless the oil viscosity was lowered using a SWEP brazed plate heat exchanger.

Small details count on the high seas

Designing and constructing marine engines is one of the biggest challenges a manufacturer can face. As well as meeting tough demands for accessibility and output, the engines must be able to withstand huge stresses, depending on the load and climatic conditions. And space is a critical variable — the more compact the engine, the more space there is for cargo, and the simpler it is to carry out maintenance.
