Welcome to the UK Heat Transfer Society. Founded in 1964, the society members include engineers, designers and researchers of heat transfer equipment. The society organises forum events, throughout the year, on all aspects of heat transfer and associated equipment, providing a place to meet and discuss subjects of common interest.
The society's members range from heat exchanger designers and manufactures through to software companies, consultants and universities. With over a hundred members, we are the community for heat transfer in the UK.

How to achieve a 300% improvement in heat transfer and productivity in Chemical Batch Reactors, Andrew C. Wills, PTSC
Unlike many heat exchangers a chemical batch reactor is designed to enable heating, cooling and chilling in both closed and open process systems. The process side environment operates under pressure or vacuum and is generally both corrosive and toxic, in addition the possible process product material types involved are in the tens of thousands range.
