The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to HRS Energy Ltd for the procurement of a high pressure heat exchanger (HPHE) test bed to support the Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC).

The test bed is aimed at research and development in high-efficiency power conversion cycles, focusing on supercritical CO2 (sCO2) for oxy-fired gas cycles (Allam cycle) and other power and industrial applications.

It will enable the study of heat transfer, pressure drop, thermal stresses, and the impact of phase changes, impurities, fouling, corrosion, and materials research, providing performance data for sCO2 cycle modeling and design evaluation.

The contract value was £502,790.
