Marine Industry

APV has supplied plate heat exchangers and water desalination units (WDUs) to all major shipyards and all major ship-owners since the marine industry discovered the advantages of PHE's in the beginning of the 70s.

Ship-owners and yards increasingly install APV heat exchangers and benefit from:

  • Effective and reliable cooling at all conditions
  • Long life time
  • Low running and service
  • Simple to maintain

The main PHE applications in the marine industry are:

  • Central fresh water coolers
  • Low temperature fresh water coolers
  • High temperature fresh water coolers
  • Lube oil coolers
  • Camshaft lube oil pre-heaters
  • Fuel oil pre-heaters
  • Lube oil pre-heaters
  • Steam dump condensers

For sea water applications APV's PHEs can be supplied with in-line filters to ensure minimum downtime for cleaning.

The WDU from APV can generate up to 60 ton/day fresh water per unit.

APV has a world-wide net of service centres close to all major ports to ensure immediate support in case of an emergency.
