- Applications: HVAC, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, district heating/cooling, marine, general industrial.
3. Finned Tube Heat Exchangers (Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers)
- Description: Consist of tubes with external fins to increase the surface area for heat transfer, typically between a fluid inside the tubes and ambient air flowing over the fins.
- Key Features: Efficient for gas-to-liquid or gas-to-gas applications, ideal for locations with limited water availability, robust construction.
- Applications: Power plant cooling, oil & gas processing, engine cooling, compressor intercoolers/aftercoolers, industrial drying.
4. Custom & Specialty Designs
- Description: For unique or highly demanding applications, our engineers can design bespoke heat exchange solutions, including spiral heat exchangers, scraped surface exchangers, double pipe exchangers, and more.
- Key Features: Tailored to exact specifications, optimized for challenging fluids or extreme conditions.
- Applications: Viscous fluids, slurries, crystallization, high fouling applications, aggressive chemicals.
