Dr. Ranga Nadig, Ph.D.
Dr. Ranga Nadig is the President of Maarky Thermal Systems. Dr. Nadig received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah in 1984, M.S. from the University of Utah in 1983 and B.S. from the National Institute of Technology in Rourkela in India in 1978.
Dr. Nadig has spent his entire career in thermal sciences as applied to heat transfer components. Dr. Nadig has several patents and has published numerous papers on the design of heat transfer equipment such as steam surface condensers, feedwater heaters and heat exchangers. His innovative designs offer simple yet elegant solutions to address the evolving challenges in the design of power plant equipment in coal fired, gas fired, biomass, solar and nuclear power plants. The conclusions of Dr. Nadig’s publications on bypass operation in steam surface condensers have been implemented in the control logic of numerous combined cycle plants.
Dr. Nadig has made valuable contributions to the Heat Exchange Institute (HEI) during his tenures as Vice President as well as the Chairman of the steam surface condenser and heat exchanger sections. His contributions are well-documented in the latest HEI standards.
Innovative designs, strict adherence to project schedules, preemptive measures to avoid unforeseen problems, quality fabrication, on time delivery, sincere efforts to meet every single project requirement and sound overall project management have won Dr. Nadig the trust and confidence of the global power industry.
Prior to Maarky Thermal Systems, during his 24 year employment with Holtec International, Dr. Nadig was the top company executive responsible for the operation and growth of nuclear and non-nuclear heat exchanger business. In addition to the steam surface condenser and feedwater heater, Dr. Nadig was responsible for developing the air cooled condenser and solar heat exchanger business. During his tenure at Holtec International, Dr. Nadig successfully executed over 250 steam surface condenser, feedwater heater, and heat exchanger projects worldwide.
