Thermal Fluid & Combustion Systems

Industrial gas pipes in a blaze of fire. Exponent performs investigations of fluid combustion systems.

Improve safety, reliability, and operating costs

When your project requires unique and advanced services related to industrial and commercial combustion equipment and systems, Exponent provides consultation for commercial HVAC, industrial heating and drying equipment, boilers, and commercial refrigeration systems.

How does Exponent's extensive experience with solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels combustion systems improve safety and advance innovative design?

Exponent has decades of experience helping clients assess risk and performance related to industrial combustion and thermal fluid systems used for manufacturing processes, from refining petroleum and chemicals, to processing paper and textiles, to processing and storing food. Combustion systems come in all shapes and sizes, as do their risks — whether it's an explosion hazard or toxic combustion byproducts.

Exponent scientists and engineers conduct a wide variety of laboratory combustion testing, including flammability limit determination, flash point testing, cone calorimetry, and flammable dust evaluation. We leverage our vast experience in fire prevention consulting for combustion systems such as boilers, heaters, furnaces, and turbomachinery (gas turbines, compressors, expanders), as well as HVAC and refrigeration equipment.
