Power Industry: Chubu El, Japan

From Mahan's Thermal Products, Inc.
 

 
By the mid 80s, Chubu Electric's Taketoyo Power Plant had been in service for more than 30 years. Fueled by heavy crude, it had a history of reliable operation but it was having problems with its shell and tube heat exchangers. The shell and tube's performance was declining rapidly just at a time when increased heat duty was needed. The company could continue making expensive repairs to the shell and tube or it could try what to them represented a new, unproven technology – the plate heat exchanger.
