- Process overview
- HISAKA heat exchangers are used as coolers for turbine oil at power plants and cooling water used in the plants. Since plate heat exchangers are lightweight and compact, they are space saving.
Thermal Power Generation
Boilers burn fuel such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas to boil water. Steam from the boiling water rotates turbines that generate electricity. HISAKA heat exchangers are used to cool the bearings on turbines.
Geothermal Power Generation
Steam is generated when water is boiled with thermal energy from just below the Earth's surface, known as the "geothermal heat." This steam rotates turbines that generate electricity. HISAKA heat exchangers are used to cut off the condenser/evaporator for the refrigerant from the hot spring steam.
Cogeneration
This total energy system uses a diesel engine or a gas engine to generate power and to recover the exhaust heat that is generated at the same time. HISAKA heat exchangers are used for hot water supply and air conditioning.
CO2 recovery equipment
HISAKA heat exchangers are often used in the circulation process of amine solutions at gas purification plants that recover the CO2 in combustion gas from thermal power plants.
Nuclear Power Generation
The energy of nuclear fission is used to produce water vapor, which rotates turbines that generate electricity. HISAKA heat exchangers are used for cooling water coolers for the auxiliary equipment in reactors.
