All-aluminium heat exchangers outperform the traditional solution in many aspects: cost, efficiency, weight, space, installation, transportation and recyclability.
When you buy our all-aluminium HYVAC™ packages, you also are buying other benefits:
- Deep knowledge and science of aluminium as preferred material
- Long-term expertise in brazing technologies
- Further development in well-equipped R&D centers
- Service center advantages, where you can order volumes of micro-port extrusions (MPE), slotted headers, fin material, baffles and end caps for test purposes, prototypes or small series production
We can contribute to your success.
