CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS
Summary In this paper, Dr. David Morton and Dr. Francois Pierrel discuss the thermal properties that influence the performance of insulation coatings used for personnel protection in the oil, gas, and chemical industries. They examine the historical evaluation of “safe touch,” which is a time-dependent function, and present a simulation
HEAT FLUX MAPS FOR OVENS: CONCEPT OF BAKING COMFORT ZONES byFrançois Pierrel Achieving rapid baking in industrial tunnel ovens, while maintaining adequate product quality is a significant challenge. The application of excessive heat fluxes to a low-diffusivity heterogeneous food product can easily yield a product of poor quality (colour, texture,
Examination of Heat Transfer in Baking using a Thermal Performance Research Oven byFrançois Pierrel Industrial baking oven design follows long−established rules of thumb, but the boundaries for effective heat transfer, which provide minimum baking time and high-quality food products are not well understood. With a view to reducing bake time,
Optimisation of Lidded Bread Baking byFrançois Pierrel Although the process of baking bread is almost 10,000 years old it has not really changed. Does it mean that we know how to bake bread in the most efficient way? Research in bread baking and proving is not new however the innovation
Thermal Coating for Pentane tank– Oil & Gas Case Study We worked with our sister company EnerTherm Ltd to develop a liquid thermal insulation system. The dual layer insulation system was proposed as a replacement for the aerogel blanket on a major US refinery pentane sphere. This system presents
Thermal Insulation Software Case Study A supplier of industrial insulation wanted to have a tool to predict and calculate the insulation thickness and type required to give the desired performance. Microsoft Excel was requested as the platform to be used, it was to allow the user to input a
Thermal Shield For Nuclear Plant Case Study EnerTherm Engineering Ltd has designed two thermal shields for nuclear waste oven treatments for the Sellafield plant in England. Both ovens are sitting on the factory floor in an area which is made of epoxy flooring coating. Working directly with Jacobs Engineering,
Precious Metal Incinerator Case Study EnerTherm Engineering Ltd has designed a unique batch incinerator for a famous Jewellery watch manufacturer. This bespoke design encompasses a feed-in-out system bar scanned for all trays of waste to be incinerated. A dual chamber incineration system in conjunction with sorbent treatment allows minimum
Process Integration And Pinch Analysis Case Study A Blue-chip Food Company reached out to EnerTherm Engineering to perform a Pinch Analysis of all processing lines on one of their sites. They needed to assess their energy usage and find possible areas for heat recovery or energy usage reduction. Pinch
Crisp Production Optimisation – Operation Crispy Crisp Case Study EnerTherm Engineering Ltd saves energy and waste in the food and processing industries. One of their customers operates a very large crisp production. These large production lines are capable of delivering 3.2 tons per hour of crisps, which is about
Factory Data Capture Case Study Factory data is at the essence of process and production knowledge. Without quality data, production facilities struggle to commission products in time and often find it difficult to get reproducibility, which is key for volume manufacturing. One of our customers continuously produces leather sheets
Heat Recovery In Pet Food Odour Treatment Plant Case Study A Pet Food Processing site had an issue with odour complaints from the local residents and we’re looking at a new odour treatment system across all the process lines. EnerTherm Engineering investigated the use of incineration, combined with heat
Design And Problem Solving Via CFD Case Study Computational fluid dynamic CFD is part of a broader range of software tools which is encompassed by Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools. Whether it is to evaluate and optimize a new design or find fault and troubleshoot an existing design, CFD
