Air conditioning coils are usually specifically designed for specific vessels. If we are sent basic dimensional information we can normally offer a cost effective alternative. Materials Only quality materials are used in our air conditioning coils. Copper, Aluminium and coated Aluminium fins are available. We can offer several fin options including coated fins for additional protection against corrosion. Options Several fin types are available offering different thermal characteristics. We can often offer improved heating or cooling capacity within the same dimensions as the original unit. If this is required, please send full operating parameters and we will endeavour to meet your needs.

We can manufacture all types of “shell and tube” heat exchangers to order. We will design and manufacture based on your requirements or select from our stock range of coolers. We can manufacture from 1m² up to over 1000 m² surface area. Quite often we can manufacture a complete unit cheaper than the replacement element cost from the original supplier. Heat exchangers in this category include: Lube Oil Coolers Jacket Water Coolers Fuel Oil Heaters Steam DrainDump Condensers Hydraulic Oil Condensers Steam Heaters Purifiers Compressor Coolers (Air) Freon Condensers Fresh Water Generators Water Heaters (non-electrical) Calorifiers Gearbox Oil coolers

The charge air cooler (or scavenge air intercooler) is located between the turbo charger and the engine scavenge air inlet manifold. The purpose of the charge air cooler is to reduce the air inlet temperature thereby increasing air density thus giving an increase in engine efficiency. Typically the charge air cooler will cool air from 200 ºC to 45 ºC with high air velocities. It is obviously important to meet the required performance but with the high air velocities, it is imperative that the construction has high integral strength. Seawater and fresh water are usually used as a cooling medium and high quality materials are needed to ensure a long serviceable life. Leaking or damaged charge air coolers can cause loss of power, increased emissions, increased fuel consumption and increased exhaust temperatures leading to excessive engine weardamage. The condition of the air cooler is therefore essential to ensure efficient performance of any turbo charged diesel engine.

Plate heat exchangers give excellent heat transfer characteristics and are ideal where space is scarce. These units are very efficient, however can be prone to “clogging” and require regular cleaning. Send us your original plate heat exchanger part numbers andor heat transfer specifications and you will be surprised at the savings that can be made. Suitable applications for plate exchangers are: Lube Oil Coolers Jacket Water Coolers Fuel Oil Heaters Steam Heaters Water Heaters (non-electrical) Gearbox Oil cooler
