In this article, Matt Gutschow, co-founder of HeatCalc, provides some insights into the topic of heat exchanger fouling. What is fouling? What are the effects and what are solutions to prevent or at least control fouling in energy recovery projects using heat exchangers. Matt built his insights on the basis of hundreds of heat recovery projects in industry he has investigated over previous years.

Read Full article10 Facts about Heat Pumps
Heat pump technology is efficient and mature. Capacities range from 20kW to 100kW for residential applications and even higher capacities for commercial applications. Industrial and district heating heat pumps reach capacities of several MW. Operating the unit when surplus electricity is available and storing that surplus energy in the form of heat provides significant demand response capacity to…
