Hydro Aluminium Seneffe SA supplies extruded and drawn aluminium tubes, forging stock (FOBS®) and cable conductors since 30 years. To complete the offering of materials to heat exchangers of Hydro Aluminium Precision Tubing it was decided to expand the product portfolio of Hydro Aluminium Seneffe to comprise Precision Drawn Profiles (Spacer Bars) for Bar/Plate industrial coolers.
Hydro Aluminium now offers a complete range of materials to produce brazed as well as mechanically expanded heat exchangers, from extruded/drawn round and oval tubes, MPE tubes (multiport extruded tubes), PDP spacers and clad/unclad fin material as well as fabricated headers.

A Bar/Plate cooler or heat exchanger is built entirely of al. profiles and flat rolled material. The concept is very versatile and is typically used with relatively low series and in heavy equipment because of it’s capabilities in terms of withstanding relatively high pressure. Tight tolerances and an alloy suitable for vacuum- and CAB brazing are key to offering a product tailor made for your heat exchangers.
PDP Spacer profiles are tailor made to customer drawings. This ensures that all profiles are unique to the heat exchanger design for which they were developed. A marking can be brought onto the profile for easy identification.

The PDP spacer profiles are typically supplied in long length but can also be supplied on wooden spools (coiled).

These products are extruded and drawn under carefully controlled conditions. Hydro Aluminium Seneffe is TS 16949 qualified to the highest automotive standards.

Hydro Aluminium has made extensive research into corrosion behaviour of aluminium and we can help designing your heat exchanger in terms of material choice in order to build-in the best quality of your product.
