Air cooled heat exchangers are used where reliable cooling is required without relying on large volumes of cooling water. In demanding industrial applications, the correct design has to account for far more than the basic cooling duty. Ambient temperature, operating conditions, materials, footprint, airflow, noise, access and maintainability all influence how the finished unit should […]

Heat exchangers used in critical industries are not always easy to remove, transport or replace. When equipment is installed within a generator, train, process cooling system, power station or industrial plant, a fault can create serious operational pressure. Spiro Gills provides on-site heat exchanger service support for land-based cooling equipment used across critical applications. This […]

Not every air cooled heat exchanger can be selected from a standard catalogue. In many industrial applications, the equipment needs to be manufactured around a specific duty, footprint, airflow requirement, material specification or installation constraint. Spiro Gills manufactures bespoke air cooled heat exchangers to suit customer requirements, supporting projects across process cooling, power generation, manufacturing, […]

Spiro Gills and Highland Electroplaters recently worked together on a set of nickel plated header plugs, combining engineering component knowledge with specialist metal finishing capability. As sister companies, the two businesses are well placed to support projects where manufactured or supplied components require a reliable, high-quality plated finish. This project is a good example of […]

When heat exchangers are part of critical land-based equipment, removing them from site is not always the most practical option. Access restrictions, transport costs, production schedules and downtime pressures can all make off-site repair more complicated. Spiro Gills provides on-site service support for land-based heat exchangers across a wide range of industrial and engineering applications. […]

Spiro-Gills has been supplying thermal engineering solutions for decades, with welded finned tube manufacturing remaining at the core of the business. From our first finned tube production in 1945 to the introduction of high-frequency welded finned tube in 1964, we have developed extensive experience supporting industrial process cooling applications. Today, Spiro-Gills is the UK's largest […]

When a heat exchanger begins to underperform, the impact can be immediate. Efficiency falls, temperatures drift, production is affected, and what starts as a minor issue can quickly develop into costly downtime. Choosing the right service partner is therefore just as important as selecting the right equipment. At Spiro-Gills, we provide specialist support for all […]

For fin fan heat exchangers, tube headers are not just a fabrication component. They are a critical part of the exchanger’s mechanical integrity, flow path, and long-term reliability. When headers need to perform in demanding service, the welding process used to manufacture them matters just as much as the material specification. One process that supports […]

When a heat exchanger, process cooler, or engine cooler requires attention, every hour of downtime counts. Unexpected failures can affect production, efficiency, safety, and delivery schedules, making fast access to the right replacement parts essential. Spiro-Gills supplies spares and replacement parts for heat exchangers and cooler systems worldwide. From bearings and drive shafts to fan […]
