Industrial processes do not always remain exactly as they were when the original equipment was installed. Production requirements can change, operating conditions can be revised and the heat duty expected from an existing shell and tube heat exchanger can increase. When process demands outgrow the original specification, the exchanger may no longer deliver the required […]

Air-cooled heat exchangers use the surrounding air to remove heat from a process liquid or gas. That makes the temperature of the available air one of the most important conditions in the design. An exchanger selected around a convenient average temperature may not deliver the required duty during the hottest operating periods. For dependable cooling, […]

Heat exchanger reliability depends on more than the main body of the unit. Individual components such as gaskets, header plugs, fan parts, motors, tube supports, bundles and finned tube can all have a direct impact on performance, maintenance and downtime. Spiro-Gills supplies heat exchanger spares and component support to help industrial customers maintain, repair and […]

Heat exchanger service requirements can vary significantly depending on the equipment, site conditions and urgency of the issue. For some customers, on-site support is the most practical route. For others, workshop-based repair or refurbishment provides the best opportunity for detailed inspection, retubing, testing and component work. Spiro-Gills supports both on-site and workshop heat exchanger services, […]

Shell and tube heat exchangers are trusted across many of the most demanding industrial heat transfer duties. Their robust construction, flexible material options and ability to handle challenging pressures, temperatures and fluids make them a proven choice across energy, chemical, marine, manufacturing and wider industrial sectors. Spiro-Gills designs and manufactures shell and tube heat exchangers […]

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 […]
