Research and Development

Reco Group collaborates with research institutes and laboratories to supply industrial heating elements, electric heaters and heat exchangers designed to tackle complex technical challenges. Thanks to our expertise, we offer customised solutions that enhance heating processes in the R&D sector, ensuring efficiency and precision.

Applications of Heaters and Heat Exchangers in Research

Our heaters and heat exchangers are used in a wide range of research applications, including:

• Device testing: Controlled fluid heating to test new components.
• Chemical reactions: Precise thermal management for small- and large-scale experiments.
• Laboratory processes: Temperature control for advanced simulations and analysis.

In the R&D sector, various types of flanged electric heaters or heat exchangers are employed for different fluids, including:

• Water, Fresh Water, and Treated Water: heating water for experimental or process purposes in research laboratories, including chemical reactions, device testing or other applications.
• Diathermic Oil, Lubricants and Fuels: heating diathermic oils, lubricants or fuels to study their behaviour at different temperatures for experimental purposes.
• Eutectic salts (commonly used in research laboratories for precise temperature regulation): heating these salts to ensure constant heat conditions during chemical reactions or tests.
• Steam: a key component in many research applications, including steam device testing or studies on steam behaviour at varying temperatures and pressures.
• Industrial gases: heating industrial gases such as nitrogen or hydrogen, for specific chemical reactions or analytical purposes.
• Forced Air and Nitrogen: essential for numerous laboratory tests requiring precise temperature control of the surrounding atmosphere.
• Hydrogen: particularly important in hydrogen-related applications, including hydrogen as an energy carrier, catalysts and other research areas.

Research applications cover a wide range of sectors:

• Aeronautics Industry: Reart collaborates with the aeronautics industry to develop heating and heat exchange solutions for critical applications, contributing to system safety and efficiency.
