To ensure safe operation, all components getting in contact with hydrogen must be qualified and absolutely tight. Reliable shut-off valves, the right material selection as well as standardised pressure tests help increasing operational safety in existing and new hydrogen application areas.

Bronswerk Heat Transfer have been manufacturing heat exchange solutions for 81 years. The majority of their back catalogue comprises specialised equipment and custommade solutions, which sets them apart in their competitive market. We spoke with Managing Director, Ernst-Jan Huijbers, and Operations Director, Jeroen Dekker, about becoming the ‘go-to’ company for challenging heat transfer projects and their expectations of the energy transition.

Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have discovered how to make “superalloys” even more super, extending useful life by thousands of hours. The discovery could improve materials performance for electrical generators and nuclear reactors.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Fred Schweighardt to talk about his experience as a National Project Leader and International Expert, and how he applies his extensive knowledge to the heat exchangers industry.

As part of the EU-funded H2FUTURE project, partners voestalpine, VERBUND, Siemens, Austrian Power Grid, K1-MET and TNO are researching into the industrial production of green hydrogen as a means of replacing fossil fuels in steel production over the long term.

Until recently, green revolution in energy was held up by lack of storage, which meant that efficient electricity production depended on an impossibility; namely uninterrupted wind and sunshine. Conversely, the excess energy produced during strong wind or sunshine could not be stored for later use. Now a revolution in energy storage is occurring, and it is possible not only to store green energy but to convert it to other uses, in other words to recycle it.
