Techouse Tests Thin-Walled Pipes on Demo Plant

Techouse and SINTEF researchers successfully tested a compact heat recovery system featuring 1.65 mm thick pipes with 0.5 to 0.75 mm fins. The facility, located at Stord, simulated 30 years of service by running over 300 start-stop cycles. The system recorded zero leaks after 305 cycles and maintained safe vibration limits, validating the technology for space-constrained offshore platforms.
