Armstrong International to double heat pump production capacity in Herstal, Belgium

Armstrong International is updating its plans for the expansion of its manufacturing site in Herstal, Belgium. Initially planned for an annual production of 50 MW of industrial high-temperature heat pumps, the project is being adapted to double its capacity to 100 MW per year by 2027.

Digital Exclusive: Heat exchanger body flange: The gasket is not always tight enough

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHEs) are used abundantly throughout the chemical, oil and gas, and fertilizer industries. Their service is essential to numerous processes—it can be said that without them, it is impossible to successfully build and operate a plant. Body flanges, also referred to as girth flanges, are critical elements of STHEs, and are incorporated to help with maintenance, cleaning and inspection of STHEs during service.
