AMSEnergy Heat Pipe Heat Exchangers featuring Thermosyphon Heat Pipe Technology addresses the vulnerabilities of conventional heat recovery technologies. Introduced to the world by NASA for space vessels…Now available commercially for industrial use due to modern manufacturing techniques. Heat Pipes have been referred to as thermal “superconductors” as they have the ability to transfer 1000 times more thermal conductivity than a solid copper conductor of equivalent size.If your energy stream is hot and/or dirty, please review how we may be able to provide a solution for your heat transfer applications. Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger energy recovery systems offer both cost and performance benefits over traditionally available heat exchanger technologies. With a temperature range of heat recovery now encompassing -50°C to >2500°C, our Heat Pipe Heat Exchangers have the capacity to fulfill most heat transfer requirements.

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES OF HEAT PIPE HEAT EXCHANGERS INCLUDE:

• Higher levels of energy recovery

• Higher levels of energy transfer

• Reduced operating costs

• Ability to withstand high particulate counts

• Low resistance or pressure drops

• Greater range of applications

• Custom built systems

• Improved reliability

• Reduced maintenance

• Longer life

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) 

   What is that hot gas or hot liquid worth to your facility when it is being sent out to the atmosphere never to be seen again? Can that wasted heat be utilized elsewhere in another process where the plant is using energy and spending precious resources to make heat? Can waste heat be used as plant comfort heat? How about to cool or generate power? Waste heat and its potential high energy content can be worth significant savings.

WASTE TO ENERGY (WtE)

Waste heat can used to generate steam (HRSG) to drive a steam turbine.  While an Organic Rankin Cycle (ORC) system can utilize lower quality energy streams to also generate power.  Industrial waste heat for power is largely an under-utilized type of combined heat and power (CHP) which allows for both power generation and thermal energy for other processes.

HEAT PIPE AIR PRE-HEATERS (“APH”) 

   Used extensively in large industries such as utility power generation, chemical, paper/pulp and many other industries where large gas-to-gas/air for pre-combustion air is an economic necessity. A Heat Pipe APH can be significantly more effective and cost efficient than a rotary style APH.  For those facilities that currently have a rotary preheater on site, you understand the high maintenance costs in terms of both parts and downtime and also the operational fees a rotary preheater costs your facility annually.  For those facilities contemplating a new or an upgrade utility grade air preheater, we would encourage you to take the opportunity to review the many benefits a Heat Pipe APH has to offer.
