Driven by the critical period of achieving "dual carbon" targets and policies such as the "Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Action Plan (2024-2026)," the chemical industry faces triple pressures: dual control of energy consumption, high costs, and environmental upgrades. As a core piece of equipment in chemical processes, the efficiency of heat exchangers directly impacts the energy consumption level of the entire system. Traditional heat exchangers have significant room for energy efficiency improvement, making high-efficiency heat exchange technology a key breakthrough for carbon reduction in the industry. Data shows that the market size of China's chemical heat transfer equipment will exceed 70 billion yuan in 2025, with demand for high-efficiency heat exchanger-related equipment growing by over 30%. By 2026, the penetration rate of high-efficiency heat transfer technology in the chemical field will increase to 25%, with the Asia-Pacific region becoming a core application and innovation hub.

The 2026 China International Chemical Technology & Equipment Fair (CTEF2026), approved by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, will be held from June 9-11, 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. This year's expo features a special heat exchanger and heat transfer technology zone, showcasing the industry's latest technological achievements and solutions in areas such as high efficiency and energy saving, intelligent manufacturing, and low-carbon collaboration, helping the industry move towards high-end, intelligent, and green development!

Anchoring Three Core Breakthroughs In the Industry

Building a New Ecosystem for Efficient Heat Transfer

The Heat Exchanger and Heat Transfer Technology Exhibition Area at CTEF2026 focuses on three key breakthrough directions for industrial transformation, creating an innovative display and matchmaking platform covering the entire industry chain.

• Breakthrough in maximizing heat transfer efficiency

Breaking through the energy efficiency bottlenecks of traditional heat exchangers, the exhibition focuses on showcasing core equipment such as microchannel heat exchangers, plate/spiral plate heat exchangers, and corrosion-resistant heat exchangers made of graphite/titanium/zirconium. Through high-efficiency heat transfer tubes, special materials, and structural optimization, the system's heat transfer efficiency is improved by 40%-60%, and unit energy consumption is reduced by 35%-50%, achieving the dual value of "high-efficiency heat transfer + economical operation" and helping enterprises break through the energy consumption "ceiling".

• Modular upgrade of heat exchange system

Addressing the pain points of chemical enterprises such as "limited space, long renovation cycle, and complex operation and maintenance," the exhibition showcases innovative products including skid-mounted heat exchange systems, mobile heat exchange devices, and integrated condensation recovery systems. Adopting a factory prefabrication + on-site assembly model, the construction cycle is shortened by more than 35%, and operation and maintenance costs are reduced by 25%, providing "plug-and-play" energy-saving renovation solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

• Intelligent control precision innovation

Leveraging AI and digital twin technologies, the system features an AI-optimized controller for heat exchange systems, a multivariable predictive control system, and a cloud-edge collaborative energy efficiency management platform. By monitoring heat transfer parameters in real time, dynamically optimizing operating conditions, and predicting equipment performance degradation, it transforms from "experience-based operation" to "intelligent control," keeping temperature fluctuations within ±0.8℃, reducing equipment failure rates by 28%, and ensuring stable production and energy-saving benefits.
