API Heat Transfer has developed a line of Covrad sand-blast grids that are made to protect your cooling package investment. Sand-blast grids consist of a steel hexagonal inter-locking matrix that mounts between the radiator core and the blower fan, protecting the core from “sand-blast erosion” in harsh environments.
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.
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.
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.
Our durable and versatile line of copper-brass heat exchanger technology can be applied to any set of operating conditions and is available in a wide range of sizes and types.
With thousands of our Bolted Plate-Fin radiators in the field, you won’t find anyone with a better track record of reliability and customer loyalty.
When you need a high performance, cost competitive core with a durable bolted-tank design, our Bolted Serpentine-Fin radiators hit the mark.
We introduced our Bolted Serpentine cores as a cost competitive alternative to our traditional bolted plate-fin cores. Like our plate-fin line, our serpentine cores are built tough and provide enhanced heat transfer performance.
By forming a permanent mechanical bond joint between the tubes and steel header, we’ve created the ultimate in copper-core technology.
We source all ancillary components and combine them into a single, 100% compatible package, saving you time and effort in design, procurement, and installation of these components.
When warm, dry air is critical to the manufacturing process, air dryers are often installed as part of the plant’s compressed air system. One of the most common designs is a non-cycling direct expansion refrigerated air-dryer. API Heat Transfer has developed the PCR, or pre-cooler, cooler, reheater, designed specifically to meet the needs of the refrigerated air dryer market.
The PCR is a compact multi-section all-aluminum heat exchanger featuring a brazed bar & plate design. The PCR pre-cools the incoming air using the cold air exiting the refrigerant section. It then final cools the air in the refrigerant section at which point the air stream enters a separation chamber to allow the condensed moisture to fall out. Since the air is reheated in the regeneration section, the final humidity remains below 25%.
API Heat Transfer makes a range of standard sizes or can custom design specific range of PCRs to meet the demands of high-volume OEMs.
API Heat Transfer power converter coolers are a line of our Airtech Fan-Cooled Heat Exchangers, ideally suited for the cooling of wind turbine power conversion equipment. Our conversion coolers prevent inlet temperatures from exceeding maximum recommendations to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Conversion coolers feature our vacuum brazed all-aluminum construction, resulting in a bonded unitary core for unparalleled performance and cost-effectiveness in a rugged, compact, and lightweight package. Plus, our array of internal and external fin configurations allow us to select the right combination to maximize heat transfer while minimizing pressure drop, ensuring suitability for the cooler’s operating environment.
API Heat Transfer is a major supplier of all aluminum parallel flow condensers using extruded tubes. Brazed aluminum provides highly efficient, robust designs using lightweight all aluminum materials.
Oil cooling requirements vary widely depending on the type of equipment and duty cycle required. We’ve specially selected fin and tube options to provide the exact performance and durability the application calls for. Whether its high viscosity start up or full temperature operation, our brazed aluminum oil coolers keep it cool. We carefully select each oil cooler to be compatible with your system and each product is carefully designed to provide you the best combination of heat transfer and pressure drop.
We’ve identified the best selection of hot and cold fin combinations to provide the ultimate in flexibility and provide the best heat transfer performance in the market.
Our patented TBAR replaces hot fins and bars with a single extruded tube for increased product durability.
Our innovative design allows the aftercooler to do considerably more than just cool air. With its compact integrated moisture separation capability, our compressor OEMs will enjoy increased efficiency and reduced total package cost with our FinSep® technology. API Heat Transfer’s aftercoolers are an all-aluminum bar and plate design featuring a wide variety of thermally efficient internal and external fin patterns.
At API Heat Transfer, we design each cooling module specifically for the unique duty the application calls for to ensure long-term performance and reliable service in a cost-effective package. Our vast range of heat exchanger technologies and expertise to integrate them into a custom cooling module solution is what sets us apart. We use the highest quality components and integrate them using proven cooling technologies gained through years of experience.
We source all ancillary components and combine them into a single, 100% compatible package, saving you time and effort in design, procurement, and installation of these components.
