Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Construction heat transfer applications and API Heat Transfer solutions.
What heat exchanger products does API Heat Transfer supply for construction equipment?
API Heat Transfer supplies hydraulic oil coolers, engine radiators, charge air coolers, and complete cooling modules for construction equipment including excavators, cranes, bulldozers, wheel loaders, pavers, and concrete equipment. AIRTECH® aluminum brazed bar-and-plate products are engineered for the heavy-duty, high-vibration operating conditions typical of construction equipment.
Are API Heat Transfer products suitable for hydraulic system cooling in construction equipment?
Yes. Hydraulic oil cooling is one of the primary applications for API Heat Transfer’s AIRTECH® and Thermal Transfer Products (TTP) lines in construction equipment. Products are sized for the hydraulic power requirements of specific machine platforms, with both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations available. Compact designs are available for machines with limited installation space.
Can API Heat Transfer supply cooling systems for cranes and lifting equipment?
Yes. API Heat Transfer supplies hydraulic oil coolers, engine radiators, and cooling modules for mobile and tower cranes. Products for crane applications must meet specific vibration, wind exposure, and access requirements, which API’s engineering team addresses through custom design and packaging.
