In the hydrogen industry, one of the main applications of heat exchangers concerns production processes such as methane reforming (SMR – steam methane reforming) and electrolysis.

In SMR, heat exchangers transfer heat to the reformer tubes – where the reaction takes place – thus ensuring temperature control and efficient heat transfer for the production of high-purity hydrogen.

In electrolysis, the electrochemical process in which the application of an electric current induces the splitting of a substance into simpler elements, heat exchangers are necessary for managing the temperature of the electrolyte to optimize the process.
