At Industrial Heat Transfer, we offer several different types of heat exchangers, each with their own unique advantages. One of these is the steam coil. Steam coils are a common heat transfer solution perfect for a broad range of applications.  How Do Steam Coils Work? As a heating solution, steam coils are fairly simple and highly effective. Here’s how they work: first, steam enters the coil and moves through the system, which consists of a series of metal tubes and fins; next, air blows over the now hot tubes and fins, heating up as it makes contact; finally, the steam condenses into wa ..read more

Air cooled heat exchangers (sometimes called fin fan heat exchangers) work by passing air over conductive fins that are mechanically bonded to tubing  carrying process fluids to dissipate the heat. They are a popular choice for a broad range of industrial applications because of their many useful features and benefits. Electrical power providers have been using FOA (forced oil air) coolers to reliably dissipate heat from transformers at substations for years. Cost Effective and Easy to Install One obvious advantage of air-cooled heat exchangers is that they are highly cost effective. Gen ..read more

Choosing a heat exchanger manufacturer to supply you with the equipment you need is an important task. When doing so, you must take several factors—such as products offered, industries served, and overall trustworthiness—into consideration.  Products Offered Many different products fall under the heat exchanger equipment umbrella. When deciding on a manufacturer, you should make sure to find one that specializes in engineering the particular product you need. At IHT, we offer a wide range of expertly engineered products, including: Intercoolers and Aftercoolers TRANE Coil Replacements F ..read more

Air compressors play an essential role in many industrial processes. However, they also generate excessive amounts of heat, which—if you don’t take the proper precautions—can cause damage to your more sensitive pieces of equipment. Fortunately, air compressor intercoolers and aftercoolers can help you circumvent this problem.  What is an Intercooler? An air compressor intercooler is a heat exchanger that removes heat from compressed air between the first and second compressor stages. When the intercooler lowers the temperature of the air, the air’s density increases. This generally leads ..read more

Is your gas turbine operating at peak efficiency? If you don’t have a turbine inlet chilling system, then the answer is probably no. Installing a high quality turbine inlet chilling system, like those offered by Industrial Heat Transfer, leads to more efficient combustion of natural gas and the resulting cost savings.  What is a Turbine Inlet Chilling System? A turbine inlet chilling system is made up of a series of chilling coils installed at the turbine’s filter intakes. The chilling coils cool air before it reaches the turbine compressor. Because cold air is denser than warm air, this ..read more

Like any piece of equipment, a heat exchanger needs to be properly maintained in order to operate at peak performance. As an ASME certified shop with a current R stamp,  Industrial Heat Transfer, Inc. can repair your ASME stamped units while maintaining ASME compliance. We aim to make system maintenance as easy as possible for our customers; that’s why we offer a wide range of heat exchanger repair services and support.  When you run into a problem with your heat exchanger, you can count on IHT to provide the help you need. Our experienced staff is capable of handling a vast array of ..read more

Heat is a major concern in a lot of different industries. Depending on the process, too much heat—or not enough—could be disastrous. That’s why heat exchangers are so crucial for so many different industrial applications. What is a Heat Exchanger? Broadly speaking, heat exchangers are pieces of equipment that transfer thermal energy in the form of heat from one medium to another. Some are used to heat elements up, while others are used to cool elements down. There are many different types of heat exchangers; steam coils, fluid coils, compressor intercoolers and aftercoolers, and fan coolers ar ..read more

Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, also known as Fin Fan Heat Exchangers, are one of the most common types of industrial heat exchangers on the market today due to their low maintenance and operating costs. These heat exchangers operate by passing air over a conductive fin surface and transferring heat to or from a fluid flowing through conductive tubing which has been mechanically bonded to the fins. Air Cooled Heat Exchangers can be used in a broad range of industrial applications; however, they are commonly used most, in applications where cost is a priority and space is limited as a c ..read more

Steam coils commonly are used to heat large commercial and industrial spaces with exceptionally large heat loads, but how do they work, and why should you use them? Steam coils heat air, or another type of gas, by moving the air across a bank of finned tubes.  The steam is contained in the tubes, while the air passes through the finned section.  The steam enters from a supply manifold, flows through the finned tubes where it condenses back into water, and drains out the return pipe manifold. Steam is the very best heat transfer fluid available.   Steam has a high heat of ..read more
