“Adoption of Energy-Efficient Heat Transfer Technologies in Process Industries”
- Rising environmental regulations and increasing energy costs are pushing industries toward highly efficient, compact heat exchange systems
- Companies are investing in R&D to develop corrosion-resistant and high-pressure capable exchangers using advanced materials such as stainless steel and titanium
- For instance, in January 2024, Alfa Laval launched a new generation of gasketed plate heat exchangers with enhanced heat transfer coefficients and reduced fouling, ideal for food and pharma processing
- These innovations reflect a shift toward sustainability, modular designs, and integration into Industry 4.0 systems
