Thermal Design of Heat Exchangers

Thermal design or thermal sizing of a heat exchanging equipment is a multi-variable design challenge which presents multiple solutions for a single design case.

Hence the real art in thermal sizing is to select the design / configuration which allows for the lowest heat exchange area and equipment size without compromising on the operational aspects and maintenance requirements from the equipment.

We at Crystal TCS backed by our 30+ years of experience ensure optimum design without any operational shortcomings.

We cater to thermal design services for heat exchanging equipment for a wide range of applications across multiple industrial sectors
