Power stations rely on stable thermal performance to protect output and reduce unplanned disruption. As shell and tube heat exchangers age, teams typically face the same question: is this a candidate for re-tubing, retrofit, or full replacement? Typical warning signs in service The earliest indicators are often operational rather than catastrophic: Ignoring these signals usually […]

In oil and gas operations, cooling performance has a direct impact on throughput, uptime, and maintenance cost. When process temperatures climb and environmental conditions are demanding, air cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) are often selected because they reduce dependency on cooling water while supporting robust, continuous operation. Why ACHEs are a practical fit in oil and […]

Spiro-Gills has been supplying heat transfer equipment to industry since 1946. Over more than 80 years, the company has developed a practical understanding of how heat exchangers perform in real operating conditions—across multiple sectors and increasingly demanding environments. Today, that experience supports a comprehensive range of products and services, covering both the manufacture of heat […]

Welded finned tubes are a critical component in many industrial heat transfer systems, particularly in air cooled heat exchangers and economisers. Their role is to increase the surface area available for heat exchange, improving efficiency and overall system performance. However, not all finned tubes are the same. Material selection and fin design play a significant […]

Heat exchangers are critical components in many industrial processes, and their performance directly impacts efficiency, safety, and operational continuity. When issues arise, the speed and effectiveness of the response can make a significant difference to overall costs and downtime. On-site heat exchanger services provide a practical solution for maintaining performance and addressing problems before they […]

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers continue to be one of the most widely used and trusted solutions in industrial heat transfer. Despite the development of alternative technologies, their reliability, versatility, and ability to operate under demanding conditions ensure they remain a preferred choice across multiple sectors. What Are Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers? A Shell […]

Air Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHE) have become an essential component in modern industrial processes, particularly where water usage is restricted or impractical. As industries face increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact and improve operational efficiency, air-based cooling systems offer a reliable and effective solution. What Are Air Cooled Heat Exchangers? Air Cooled Heat Exchangers use […]

Our Stafford facility houses the cranes, floor space, and engineering expertise to manufacture and handle the largest thermal equipment in the industry. 🔧 Air cooled heat exchangers — full-sized bundles, shipped complete🔧 Shell & tube units — built to ASME standards🔧 Welded finned tube […]

We’ve recently supplied welded serrated finned tube for a project in Australia — supporting a heat transfer application where performance and durability are critical. Serrated finned tube is often specified where: By using high-frequency welded finned tube, the fin-to-tube bond remains consistent even under demanding operating conditions — something that’s essential in industrial environments. At […]

We’re pleased to announce the successful completion of a High-Frequency Resistance Welded (HFRW) solid fin tube project on 4″ (101.6mm) diameter tubes. This job demonstrates our capability to deliver high-quality, precision-welded fins for demanding thermal applications, ensuring optimal heat transfer and long-term reliability. At Spiro Gills, we continue to support projects of all sizes with […]
