Heat exchangers for the renewable energy industry

Renewable-energy

The renewable energy sector is dedicated to capturing the power of naturally renewable resources like sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat for electricity generation, along with heating and cooling purposes. These sources of energy present sustainable options that significantly reduce environmental footprints. Heat exchangers are crucial in a wide array of applications within this field.

The critical role of heat exchangers in various applications

Biomass energy

In biomass boilers and combined heat and power (CHP) plants, heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from the combustion of biomass fuels, such as wood chips or agricultural residues, to a heat transfer fluid, such as water or thermal oil. This heated fluid can then be used for space heating, water heating, or process heating in industrial applications.

Centralized solar energy

Centralized solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a receiver, which heats a working fluid (such as molten salt). Tranter’s gasketed and welded plate heat exchangers transfer the heat from the working fluid to water, generating steam for electricity generation.

Geothermal energy

Geothermal power plants utilize heat exchangers to transfer heat from geothermal fluids (hot water or steam) extracted from underground reservoirs to a secondary working fluid, such as isobutane or refrigerants, that drives a turbine-generator. Heat exchangers ensure efficient heat transfer while preventing contamination of the working fluid by corrosive minerals or gases present in the geothermal fluid.

Wind power

Wind power is becoming an essential part of the world’s renewable energy demand for the energy transition. Tranter’s plate heat exchangers are used in both onshore installations for lube oil, transmission and generator cooling, and for offshore wind installations for the HVDC platforms. Here, large gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger in titanium are deployed as Seawater/Cooling medium heat exchangers to cool down an ethylene glycol mix that will be used as cooling medium for other sensitive equipment on the offshore wind farm such as transformers and generators. Tranter’s heat exchangers play a key role in this process, enhancing efficiency and sustainability while not sacrificing on operational reliability for remote offshore installations.

Exploring carbon capture and green hydrogen?

To reach the NetZero goals, refineries are looking to reduce the CO2 emissions. Post combustion CO2 capture to refineries involves removing CO2 from gas streams using continuous absorption with regenerable solvents, crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change. Tranter leads in providing heat exchangers for carbon capture, ensuring your plant operates safely and reliably.
