Stop losing efficiency to failing coolers.
Intercoolers, aftercoolers, and oil coolers for centrifugal compressors — re-tubed, re-manufactured, or supplied new. Copper, cupro-nickel, and stainless steel tube options for any service condition.
Problems you might be facing
Tube leaks causing process contamination
Oil-in-air carry-over or water contamination from corroded cooler tubes disrupting your downstream process.
20+ week OEM lead times for cooler bundles
The OEM tells you 5 months for a tube bundle when your compressor discharge temperature is already out of spec.
Cooling capacity degradation
Fouled or plugged tubes reducing heat transfer — your compressor runs hotter, uses more energy, and trips more often.
Capabilities
Intercoolers
Interstage cooling bundles for multi-stage centrifugal compressors — sized to original thermal duty.
Aftercoolers
Final-stage discharge coolers reducing air temperature to usable levels for downstream equipment.
Oil coolers
Lube oil cooling systems — shell-and-tube or plate-type — keeping bearing and gear oil within spec.
Re-tubing service
Strip and re-tube existing shells with upgraded tube materials — faster and cheaper than full replacement.
Material upgrades
Duplex stainless, cupro-nickel, and titanium options for corrosive cooling water or aggressive environments.
Custom fabrication
Complete cooler fabrication from scratch when original drawings are unavailable — reverse-engineered from your shell.
Why customers choose us
- All major OEMs: Cameron, Ingersoll Rand, Atlas Copco, Centac, Hanwha, MSG.
- Re-tubing turnaround: 3–5 weeks vs. 20+ weeks for OEM new cooler.
- Hydrostatic test certificate and tube-to-tubesheet joint inspection on every unit.
- Material upgrades extend cooler life 2–3x in corrosive water conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Can you re-tube with a different tube material?+
Yes. We commonly upgrade from copper to cupro-nickel or stainless steel when cooling water quality is poor. We recalculate thermal performance to confirm the duty is still met.
How do I know if I need re-tubing vs. a full replacement?+
If the shell and tubesheets are in good condition, re-tubing saves 40–60% of cost. We'll inspect your unit and recommend the most cost-effective path.
Do you supply gaskets and header plates?+
Yes — complete cooler kits including gaskets, header plates, tie rods, and spacers. Everything you need for a drop-in installation.
What testing do you perform?+
Every cooler is hydrostatically tested to 1.5x design pressure. We also perform helium leak testing on critical applications and provide full documentation.
