The primary purpose of HEI is to develop and publish standards
which advance the technology, increase the efficiency, and promote
the use of heat exchange and vacuum apparatus.
This objective is accomplished through technology-specific committees
operating under the authority of the Institute's seven sections:
- Steam Surface Condensers
- Air Cooled Condensers
- Closed Feedwater Heaters
- Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
- Plate Heat Exchangers
- Vacuum Technology
- Deaerators
Each of these sections sponsors a technical committee which is
charged with developing and revising standards specific to its range
of products.
Each technical committee meets at least twice a year, with each
section member designating an engineer as its representative on
the Technical Committee; ongoing communication among committee members
assures that the standards are based on the latest available technology.
Since its founding over 79 years ago, the Institute has earned
international recognition as the leading authority on the technologies
for heat exchange and vacuum apparatus. Institute standards are
used throughout the world for the design, manufacture and operation
of heat exchange and vacuum equipment.
HEI has expanded its efforts to share the latest technology by
sponsoring workshops and publishing articles for users of heat exchange
and vacuum equipment.
