The challenge
The pilot plant needed compact process cooling for hydrogen and electrolyte streams, with material compatibility data and a plot plan that could not accommodate a conventional shell-and-tube installation.
Project route
Approach
- Material review for hydrogen and electrolyte compatibility.
- Diffusion-bonded and welded plate options compared for pressure and footprint.
- Outdoor dry cooler selected for part-load efficiency.
- Leak detection and maintenance access reviewed with the operator.
- Documentation package aligned to PED and project specifications.
Result
- Compact process cooling within the available plot.
- Material and pressure documentation accepted at design review.
- Service access retained for gasket and module inspection.
