Heat exchanger design
Based on your particular requirements, we will develop a tailor-made design fitting your specific application.
The engineering steps may include :
The Aerothermal design of the core of the heat exchanger.The computation of the flows distributions, the pressure drops and the temperature fields within the core is performed thanks to an in-house developed CFD code. A large range of fluids can be taken into account. This allows us to optimise the size of your heat exchanger.  |
The aerothermal design of the external ducts and piping systemsBoth commercial CFD code and analytical methods are used to either estimate the aerothermal behaviour of your existing installation or perform and optimise the design of new tailor made solutions. 
|
Mechanical stress analysisACTE heat exchangers achieve extended life time while maintaining attractive cost. This apparently contradictive situation is obtained thanks to the precise evaluation of the stress levels within each part of the whole heat exchanger. The design method is validated by tests. This allows us to choose the proper raw material for your application and make an optimum use of it. The main sollicitations appearing almost in each heat exchanger are creep, fatigue and corrosion. |
Integration with other equipment

Design of ducts and supports
The associated supports have also to allow for those constraints. ACTE calculate and offer you the best solution for your application. |
ACTE offer you a complete solution to nicely fit your heat exchanger in your process. Compact integration or flange to flange configuration can be provided depending on your requirements.
Most often, thermal installations require flexible ducts between flanges to enable the relative displacement due to thermal expansion.
