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.
