Industrial heat exchangers for HVAC and process applications

Industrial heat exchangers play a critical role in maintaining safe operating temperatures, protecting equipment and keeping processes running efficiently. Whether you are dealing with a heat exchanger failure, planned maintenance or seasonal changes in demand, having the right solution in place helps minimise disruption and maintain performance.

Aggreko supplies a wide range of industrial and commercial heat exchangers capable of operating across temperatures from -50℃ to 300℃. Our engineers work with you to select and integrate the right equipment for your wider HVAC, process heating or process cooling systems, including shell-and-tube, shell-and-plate, fin fan and fan-coil heat exchangers.

All heat exchangers perform the same basic function, but different designs are better suited to specific applications, pressures and temperature ranges. Choosing the right heat exchanger depends on your process requirements and how it integrates with your wider HVAC or process system.

Plate-and-frame heat exchangers

Plate-and-frame heat exchangers use metal plates to move heat, mounted in a robust frame. These are most commonly used for heat transfer from liquids, offering high levels of efficiency at a low cost and in a small footprint.

Shell-and-plate heat exchangers

Plate-type heat exchangers are frequently used to move heat from liquids, but a shell configuration allows for much higher pressures than frame alternatives. Our shell-and-plate heat exchangers can cope with pressures of up to 40 barg.

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers

Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are widely used, particularly in the food and beverage industry. They’re able to perform under high levels of pressure and across a wide range of temperatures.

Fin fan heat exchangers

A finned-tube heat exchanger uses fans to cool fluids through air, most often to cool process fluids. Common applications include petrochemical, chemical, and refining processes.

Fan-coil heat exchangers

Also known as an air-coil heat exchanger, a fan-coil heat exchanger uses two transfer methods at once: water flowing through coils and air moved by fans. As a result, it delivers high levels of efficiency and performance.

Aggreko combines a broad heat exchanger fleet with specialist engineering expertise to help you select and deploy the right solution for your system. Our heat exchangers are designed to integrate with HVAC and process equipment and can be deployed quickly to support planned works or unexpected failures.
