At M&E Technical Services we specialize in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for heat exchangers, ensuring optimal design and performance. Our expertise allows us to evaluate thermal stresses, pressure loads and structural integrity, ensuring compliance with industry standards such as ASME and PED. Through advanced simulations, we ensure that heat exchangers operate efficiently under various environmental and operational conditions including wind, vibration, seismic activity and more. This specialisation allows us to deliver high-performing, reliable heat exchanger designs.

Design Code Verification:

We apply FEA to ensure designs meet relevant standards such as:

• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers): Verification for pressure vessels, piping, and mechanical components in compliance with ASME codes.

• PED (Pressure Equipment Directive): Ensuring that pressure equipment meets the safety requirements outlined in the European Union's PED standards.

Environmental and Structural Analysis:

Our FEA services extend to various environmental and dynamic conditions, including:

• Wind Analysis: Simulation of wind loads on structures and components, ensuring stability and safety under high wind conditions.

• Vibration Analysis: Identification of natural frequencies and vibration modes to prevent resonant conditions that could lead to failure.

• Seismic Analysis: Assessment of structural integrity under earthquake loads following industry standards for seismic design.

• Blast Analysis: Evaluation of structures and components for resistance to blast and explosion forces, ensuring protection against catastrophic events.

• Snow Load Analysis: Simulation of snow accumulation and its impact on structural components, verifying that designs can handle the loads induced by snow weight.

Through the use of FEA M&E Technical Services ensures robust, compliant designs capable of withstanding various operational and environmental stressors.
