The Path to Becoming LNG Experts
Vahterus’ LNG journey began in 2005. Through extensive R&D work and with over 300 heat exchangers delivered to cryogenic LNG applications, we’re now leaders in the field.
Vahterus FEM Simulations Rise to the Cryogenic Challenge
Low temperatures and widely varying temperature differences in cryogenic applications can cause high stresses to the constructions. Practical testing of constructions is often complicated and time consuming, which is why modelling and simulation tools have become an important part of the development process.

Laser-cutter Ilari Pietilä believes that a little stress improves concentration and performance. He thrives on decision-making, positive feedback and meeting seemingly impossible deadlines.
Everyone Benefits from Smart Cooperation
Vahterus tests its products at a steam laboratory installed in the Naantali power plant of Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto (TSE), an energy production company in the Turku region. The test laboratory, which has exceptionally high capacity, is used to study the qualities of Vahterus steam condensers for product development purposes.
Failure is the Seed of Success in an Innovation-friendly Environment
The Vahterus R&D team comprises six people whose goal is to identify potential problems in existing heat-exchanger solutions and find ways to improve products. Successful product development requires perseverance, an understanding of product properties and a curiosity regarding new experiments.
Vahterus Introduces Size 12 Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger
PSHE 12 offers a large heat transfer plate with the traditional round shape and corrugation angles. The diameter of the plate is close to 1200 mm and the portholes are DN250. Size 12 fills the gap between sizes 9 and 14.
Transformations in Refrigeration Industry Rules and Technology are Helping to Boost Innovation
Dave Rule, President of IIAR, which advocates for the best refrigerants available to support an efficient and healthy food supply and a clean and safe environment, explains how the industry is adapting to harness new markets and embrace new operational challenges.
June 2019: With Imagination and Innovation, Industry Can Tackle Climate Change
The lower cost of renewable fuels such as solar power is impacting positively on the Energy sector, and they may soon be cheaper than fossil fuel. The Chemical and Process industries are focusing on energy integration in cooling and heating. In the Refrigeration industry, Natural refrigerants are the key to tackling environmental issues.
