An estimated 93.4 million tonnes (103 million tons) of food
went to waste in the United States alone in 2018 - a number
greater than the weight of 600 thousand average-sized blue
whales (Ref. 1). A majority of food waste ends up in landfills,
where it decomposes and produces methane. The United States

Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) even reports that food
waste accounts for the largest
percentage of material in
landfills (Ref. 2). Food can be
wasted during any stage of
its life cycle, which is why it
is important for consumers
and the food industry alike
to be aware of solutions to
help alleviate this problem.
One way to help reduce food
waste on an industrial level
is to ensure that consumer
goods are being properly
stored before they end up in
customers' homes.
thermofin GmbH, a
leading manufacturer of
heat exchangers, designs
technology to help make this
solution a reality. Their heat
exchangers are used in air
conditioning and refrigeration
systems in commercial and
industrial buildings around
the world. Their devices can be
found in supermarkets, cold
storage facilities, ice arenas,
power plants, and more.
Julius Heik, a thermodynamics
development engineer at
thermofin GmbH, performs
simulations to ensure that
their heat exchangers are
optimized for specific use cases
and client needs.
Heik's favorite part about
working with simulation? You
are able to gain knowledge
before actual measurements
are carried out.
