The SIRACH Network’s next event will be dedicated to the advances in heat exchangers for heating and cooling.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to visit Kelvion’s state-of-the-art testing facility which includes an air flow test rig, an inner calorimeter room, an environmental test chamber, as well as a connected, smaller air flow chamber to enable measuring heat transfer coefficients. The facility has a hot-water system for testing dry coolers and a refrigeration pack for testing coolers and condensers. In addition, there is an R507 refrigeration pack, a state-of-the-art transcritical CO2 refrigeration plant and an X-ray micro-tomography system.
