Heat Exchangers
Aras Power Systems designs shell-and-tube, air-cooled and plate heat exchangers to ASME BPVC Section VIII, TEMA and API 660/661/662, optimising thermal and mechanical design together for efficiency and fouling resistance. Units are engineered for vacuum-to-high-pressure service and temperatures from cryogenic to about 600 °C, with materials from carbon steel to duplex, titanium and copper alloys, and delivered from design through fabrication, erection, field testing and after-sales support.

Our Services
Our engineering and supply scope is structured to deliver safe, efficient and project-specific equipment from concept design through fabrication, site support and documentation.
Design compliance
- International standards: designing heat exchangers in compliance with ASME, TEMA, API, PED and EN requirements.
- Custom design solutions: tailoring thermal duty, mechanical configuration, nozzle orientation and maintainability to the project.
Thermal and mechanical design
- Thermal performance: sizing heat-transfer area, pressure drop and fouling margins for the required duty.
- Mechanical integrity: integrating shell, tubesheet, channel, bundle and support design according to pressure and temperature requirements.
Structural analysis and optimisation
- FEA verification: validating critical components under pressure, thermal gradients and external loads.
- Performance optimisation: balancing efficiency, fouling resistance, pressure drop and maintenance access.
Manufacturing and fabrication
- Shop fabrication: fabricating exchanger components in controlled environments with traceable materials and welding procedures.
- Materials engineering: selecting carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, titanium or copper alloys based on media compatibility.
Site erection and commissioning
- On-site assembly: supporting installation, alignment and tie-in of heat-exchanger packages.
- Field testing: supporting hydrostatic tests, leak checks and commissioning verification.
After-sales and maintenance support
- Operational support: providing performance review and troubleshooting after start-up.
- Maintenance strategies: supporting cleaning, inspection and lifecycle planning to sustain rated performance.
