A heat exchanger is a device which transfers heat from one medium to another. The heat is transferred by conduction through the exchange materials separating the media used. The medium through which this heat exchange occurs is what determines the different kinds of heat exchangers there are.
PIROBLOC designs and manufactures heat exchangers whose fluid is primary thermal fluid.
The main application of heat exchangers is to heat fluids. There are many designs, as well as products to be heated. We design and manufacture customized heat exchangers to meet the particular requirements of each case and process.

The primary fluid is usually thermal oil from a boiler. There are many secondary fluids, which may be either liquid or gaseous. Usually, the U-tube and housing system is used. The arrangement of the primary and secondary fluids by the tubes or the shell, and vice versa, will depend on each case.
The excess heating surface, fouling factor and others ensure proper service even under the most unfavorable conditions.
Thanks to the most powerful calculation tools, we can satisfy the vast majority of industrial heating process needs, regardless of flow rate, operating pressure or product heating conditions: e.g. viscosity and temperature.
Versions with corrugated tubing, to increase the heating surface, or expansion compensation, to minimize the effects of expansion following high temperature differences, are sometimes recommended.
