Typical tasks for SIGMA plate heat exchangers in the automobile
and supplier industries are:
Application example: Production of piston rings
For a globally active supplier of components, modules and systems for
the automotive industry (both in case of original equipment and for
the after-sales market),
API Schmidt-Bretten has been
a strategic supplier of sealed plate heat exchangers for plants domestically
and internationally for more than 20 years.
Especially for the cooling of galvanic baths in the manufacture of piston rings,
the well-proven SIGMA plate heat exchangers from
API Schmidt-Bretten are
relied on. These are generally equipped with plates made from titanium and provided
with Viton seals. About 150 equipment units from
API Schmidt-Bretten are
in employment in the production works of this car subcontractor in Germany.
Application example: Safety heat exchanger
We received from a German plant engineering company an order for the delivery
of a total of four plate heat exchangers of the design series SIGMA
TWIN.
These plate heat exchangers, equipped with double plates, are provided for
honing oil cooling of processing machines for engine blocks. The automobile
builder relies on this structural security concept, in order to avoid any
contamination of the cooling-water system in case of a plate break.
