SHPHE Successfully Delivers a Gas-Gas Heat Exchanger for a Project in Hungary
In the fiercely competitive global equipment manufacturing landscape, European standards remain one of the toughest benchmarks for overseas suppliers. Shanghai Heat Transfer Equipment Co., Ltd. (SHPHE) has completed and delivered a gas-gas heat exchanger to Hungary that fully complies with EU regulations, demonstrating the company's strong manufacturing and quality assurance capabilities.
The project required all design and fabrication to meet EU regulations and welding quality system requirements. SHPHE applied EU standards to material selection, design, production and inspection, and specifically enhanced structural strength, fatigue resistance and corrosion protection to suit on-site working conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and safe operation.
Welding quality was the core of this project. After carrying out welding procedure qualifications to EU standards and developing precise operating specifications, the company obtained EN ISO 3834-2 certification for its welding quality system. In the process, it passed all 15 welding qualification tests on the first attempt, and six of its welders earned nine EU qualifications, a clear testament to SHPHE's expertise in welding technology, quality management and manufacturing.
All critical welds underwent 100% non-destructive testing after welding, as required by EU standards. Strict compliance throughout the process provided solid quality assurance for handover and confirmed the company's ability to consistently produce plate heat exchangers that meet Europe's stringent requirements.
The plate-type gas-gas heat exchanger has a heat transfer area of 1,400 m². Its modular block design allows modules of different materials to be combined flexibly, giving it broad structural adaptability. This makes it well suited to the refining, chemical, steel, metallurgical and power industries.
This delivery marks a key milestone in SHPHE's global expansion strategy. Going forward, the company will keep developing high-performance plate heat exchangers and use premium standards and core technologies to support more international projects.
