Pumps consume much electrical energy - the choice and configuration of the correct pumpt is therefore extremely important. If mistakes are made, the hereby incurred extra costs during the plant's entire life quickly add up to several hundred thousand Euro. 1. Plant design Pressure loss and the design of the... read more →

Piping in thermal oil plants are exposed to stress factors of many kind: Their own weight (including heat insulation) and the weight of the heat transfer fluid that is passing through them lead to loads and deformations. Moreover, due to the temperature increase of the fluid (from room temperature to... read more →
