Providing Thermal Solutions
Reference
The following reference articles are provided to help support the design, installation and optimized use of Pillow Plate heat exchangers. Pillow Plate heat exchangers are one of the most versatile heat transfer products on the market, which makes them preferred in many heating or cooling applications other fixed technologies.
BENEFITS OF USING HEAT TRANSFER COMPOUNDS
A heat transfer compound (HTC), often referred to as mastic or cement, is a putty-like compound designed and used to enhance the thermal performance of clamp-on style external heat exchangers…
