Dr. Ranga Nadig is a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, executive who leads Maarky Thermal Systems as CEO. Maarky provides heat transfer equipment and related services that help meet the needs of power plants worldwide. Among the innovative products Dr. Ranga Nadig’s firm offers are solar power plant heat exchangers.
The parabolic-mirror solar power plant design involves sun energy being used to elevate the temperature of heat transfer fluid (HTF). The heat from the HTF is used to convert water to steam in a series of heat exchangers. The HTF’s thermal energy is also used in a re-heater to reheat the steam as it exits the high-pressure steam turbine.
The Maarky solar power plant heat exchangers overcome a number of engineering challenges, including rapid startup and shutdown, cyclic operation, and applications at high pressure and temperature. In addition, the heat transfer fluid’s unconventional thermo-physical properties are considered in the design. Maarky solar power plant heat exchangers have been developed at the component level, with the hydraulic and thermal designs providing optimal performance.
