Automotive industry

Automotive factories face major challenges when it comes to heat transfer. Machines for shaping materials and presses for producing bodywork components require efficient cooling of the hydraulic oils used, typically using water.

Certain components have to be to processed with thermal treatments and hardening with quenching oils to maximize their mechanical strength. It is important in this process to cool the oils and maintain a constant temperature level in the quenching baths.

Our SIGMA plate heat exchangers are used worldwide in the automotive industry and have proven to be extremely reliable and effective in these critical areas of vehicle and parts production.

Typical applications

• Cooling of hydraulic and hardening oils
• Cooling of machine coolants
• Engine test benches
• Tempering of surface treatment baths
