Accurate prediction of the performance of heat exchangers is critical to ensuring that your plant is capable of doing it's duty. Efficiency and initial cost savings can be made if your heat exchanger is sized properly, whether it be an air-cooler in a chemcial plant, an economizer over a fired process, or an automotive radiator.

Mcilwain & Associates has experience in characterising heat exchanger surfaces and developing generalized design correlations and performance prediction methods, especially for process industry extended surface heat exchangers. Using data collected from publications, or your own performance test results, or both, we can develop models that are tailored to the pressure drop and heat transfer performance of your products.
