Vipertex® Enhanced Heat Transfer Tube Bundle Evaluation for Processes Involving Boiling

/0 Comments/in /by

Details of the study titled “Evaluation of a 1EHT Enhanced Heat Transfer Tube Bundle for Processes Involving Boiling” will be presented at the 6th Conference Process Integration, Modeling and Optimization for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction, and published in Chemical Engineering Transactions, Vol 35, 2013.

 

Utilization of enhanced heat transfer tubes is an effective method used in the development of high performance thermal systems. Vipertex® enhanced surfaces, have been designed and produced through material surface modifications, which result in flow optimized heat transfer tubes that increase heat transfer.

Deep Textured Metals Shape Skin Competition Finalist

/0 Comments/in , , /by

UB professors Christopher Romano, Nicholas Bruscia are finalist in a recent digital fabrication contest http://tex-fab.net/skin-results/. This UB team leads sponsored research with support from Rigidized® Metals to explore the properties of deep textured metal on structures.

From the competition web site:
The first of the clearly agreed upon entry was Project 2XmT with a great many votes and a clearly developed working model, the entry was selected without much deliberation with just a few comments, one from Randy Stratman, “from a practicality standpoint it looks like they are pretty far along. It looks like they already have a mockup. I’m a big fan of how small undulations or changing panels really have a dramatic impact from the viewing standpoint moving around the building”

Exterior Facade Sculpture in Deep Textured Stainless Steel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Like many companies, we build products we are very proud of and then ship them out the door to far away places. Last year we decided to build something we could keep. An example that reflected for ourselves and our customers what are as architectural fabricators and utilizing a great raw material (deep textured Rigidized® Metals material). The panels are unbacked, deep textured stainless steel; each about 24″ wide and 8″ high in a ventilated rainscreen design with the curved section a strip (5WL® pattern) woven around our Rigi-Grip® tube.
