Process and Cooling Water Temperatures without a Thermowell
Heat Exchangers are commonly used to cool a process stream. Monitoring the temperature of cooling water and process streams within heat exchangers allows users to better balance cooling loads and reduce total maintenance costs. Designing insertion thermowells for heat exchanger applications can be time-consuming, costly, and introduces new risks, such as potential leak points. Rosemount™ X-well™ Technology provides a real process temperature measurement without the need for a thermowell or process penetration by using a patented heat flux algorithm. This method of measurement significantly reduces design and installation costs while eliminating potential leak points.
