Técnico podcast “110 Histórias, 110 Objetos” – The heat exchanger

The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#98) – 16th June 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The heat exchanger.

It weighs about two tons and measures two metres by one, and a half metres in diameter. The imposing nature of Técnico’s heat exchanger does not go unnoticed in the main atrium of the South Tower, at Alameda campus. It is, in fact, half of a heat exchanger, which was cut in half and is exhibited for teaching purposes, displaying its 224 tubes and a floating head. Despite its invention almost a century ago, it is still today a fundamental instrument in the history and practice of industrial chemistry.
