Abstract
This article presents the integration of heat exchangers made using the roll-bond technology of Talum d.d., Kidričevo, Slovenia, to applications in refrigeration and heating technology. Talum has more than 30 years of tradition in the production of evaporators for cooling technology and heat exchangers for various purposes, such as absorbers and condensers. The heat exchangers produced in Talum are made of aluminium or aluminium alloys and are categorized as flat heat exchangers. Aluminium and aluminium alloys can be completely recycled after they reach the final phase of their life cycle, which is an essential feature in terms of sustainable construction. The roll-bond technology enables the manufacture of heat exchangers with a complex geometry of channels, which enables them to be used for various applications. Enabled through roll-bond technology, all of these features give the roll-bond heat exchanger a very useful and functional value. In this article, we focused only on some implemented and potential applications of heat exchangers made with using the roll-bond technology.

Članek predstavlja integracijo toplotnih prenosnikov izdelanih s tehnologijo platiniranega valjanja v podjetju Talum d.d. Kidričevo v nekatere aplikacije na področju hladilne in toplotne tehnike. Podjetje Talum ima več kot 30-letno tradicijo izdelave uparjalnikov za hladilno tehniko in toplotnih prenosnikov za različne namene kot so absorberji in kondenzatorji. Toplotni prenosniki, ki se proizvajajo v Talumu so izdelani iz aluminija oziroma aluminijeve zlitine in spadajo med ploščate toplotne prenosnike. Aluminij in aluminijeve zlitine je mogoče popolnoma reciklirati po izteku življenjskega cikla izdelka, kar je z vidika trajnostne gradnje pomembna lastnost. Tehnologija platiniranega valjanja omogoča izdelavo toplotnih prenosnikov s kompleksno geometrijo kanalov, kar omogoča izdelavo toplotnih prenosnikov za različne aplikacije. Vse te lastnosti, ki jih omogoča tehnologija platiniranega valjanja dajejo toplotnim prenosnikom veliko uporabno in funkcionalno vrednost. V članku smo se osredotočili le na nekatere implementirane in potencialne aplikacije toplotnih prenosnikov izdelanih s tehnologijo platiniranega valjanja.
1INTRODUCTION
The company Talum, d.d. from Kidričevo, Slovenia was established in 1954 when the first aluminium was produced. Since then, Talum has been producing primary aluminium and different semi-products and final products from aluminium and aluminium alloys using different production technologies. Talum offers to its customers support in the development of processes, as well as support in the...
