Schmidt® SIGMABRAZE Plate Heat Exchangers

Our SIGMABRAZE brazed plate heat exchangers represent the most compact, rugged and cost-effective means of transferring heat in many industrial, process, and refrigerant applications. Built from 316 stainless steel with copper brazing materials, they provide exceptional corrosion resistance. Due to the smaller size and reduced material content, they can be the most economical heat transfer choice.

Remote Cooling Kits

Due to the constraints of space and because of thermal considerations in many environments, an increasing number of commercial power generation installations require the cooling equipment to be remotely located from the generator room.

The kits can be cooled by a separate secondary water source, such as a cooling tower or remote radiator, and can be offered to withstand the secondary water source up to 160 meters above the engine. This makes them ideal for cooling engines situated in the basement of tall buildings, where the radiators need to be on the roof.

Base-frame mounted remote cooling kits consist of:

  • Water-cooled charge air coolers
  • Jacket water heat exchangers
  • CCW and JW header tanks
  • All pipework to the engine (jacket water optional)
  • A fuel cooler can also be added, if required
  • Coolant circulation pump for remote radiator loop can also be provided

Turnkey Genset Radiators

Our line of Covrad Turnkey radiator cooling packages feature our unique high-performance cores and low horsepower fan engineered into a compact envelope. Choose from pre-engineered models or request a custom sized solution based on your specific rating and site conditions.

RhinoDrive™ turnkey engine-driven radiator

Specify a RhinoDrive™ turnkey engine-driven radiator from API Heat Transfer for your next high horsepower (3MW+ direct drive off engine) gen set installation to avoid using costly remote radiators with electric motor driven fans.

  • Reduce fan-drive stresses
  • Reduce the complexity of your genset installation
  • Engineered “Rhino tough”
  • Avoid using remote radiators
  • Provide a turnkey genset, including radiator, to your customer
