API Heat Transfer’s line of air cooled all-aluminum brazed bar and plate heat exchangers are supplied as a vital component to our mobile and industrial OEMs’ products. Our flexible bar and plate construction allows countless core combinations and sizes, custom designed to your exact requirements with minimal or no tooling costs. Combi-cooler designs are available to cool multiple fluids in a single brazed unit.
Our bar and plate coolers feature a wide variety of thermally efficient internal and external fin patterns. Fins are laid between aluminum braze sheets and fitted with header and face bars. The assembled unit is placed into one of our modern brazing furnaces where precise control of time and temperature produces a unified core. Manifolds designed to meet each customer’s particular piping requirements are welded into place to complete the cooler. We can also supply cores when manifolds already exist or must be fitted in the field.
These rugged, compact, light-weight units are ideal for both on- and off- highway markets. API Heat Transfer can also add value beyond the component cooler by packaging a complete cooling system consisting of multiple coolers (e.g., radiator, charge air cooler, hydraulic oil cooler).
From small individual coolers to large complex engine cooling systems, API Heat Transfer will design and manufacture the heat transfer solution that’s right for you. Our engineering team is continually developing additional fin geometries to improve heat transfer efficiency so we can meet or exceed your expectations.
Like the BPSW Series, the BPW Series is rugged, compact, and cost-effective, and is reliable over long periods of time with minimal maintenance. High plate channel turbulence effectively performs even in close approach temperatures. The BPW Series heat exchangers are made to order for your specific application with highly customizable sizes, ports and material options.
The BPSW Series is rugged, compact and cost-effective, and is reliable over long periods of time with minimal maintenance. Design features of this highly-efficient series include 316 stainless steel construction and standard SAE connections. High plate channel turbulence effectively performs even in close approach temperatures. The compact size is an optimal heat transfer solution for industrial applications where space is limited. A wide offering of full featured standard models is available with short lead times and fast delivery.
