- Developed more than 50 years ago to meet the needs of the aeronautics industry, where compactness, light weight and efficient heat exchanges are essential qualities, brazed aluminium plate-fin heat exchangers now have an excellent reputation in the gas processing industry following enhancements which have added to their initial qualities to meet the requirements of process engineers, investors and producers.
Fives Cryogenie brazed aluminium plate-fin heat exchangers offer the possibility of integrating various processes (up to 20 fluids flowing simultaneously through a single heat exchanger) over a wide range of dimensions.
Fives Cryogenie brazed aluminium plate-fin heat exchangers are especially suitable for processes requiring a high level of heat transfer under low temperature difference (1°C to 2°C or less) between warm and cold fluids.
- Some typical applications:
- Separation of air gases
- Hydrocarbon processing
- Natural gas liquefaction
- Industrial gas liquefaction (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, etc.).
- Through continuous improvements in the performance of modern processes, Fives Cryo is at the top of development in the fields of fluid dynamics, design and simulation of equipment.
- The numerous component parts of a heat exchanger are manufactured with the greatest care and asembled by vacuum brazing. Our fully automated brazing facilities optimize the brazing process with outstanding reliability, whatever the size of the heat exchangers.
Inspection / QC means, using up-to-date technology, ensure the product's impeccable quality.
