Gas-to-Liquid Heat Exchangers

Air-to-Water / Water-to-Air Applications

Gas-to-liquid heat exchangers, also known as air-to-water or water-to-air heat exchangers, are critical in high-performance environments where efficient thermal management determines reliability and output. They are widely used in applications such as engine charge air cooling, exhaust gas heat recovery, avionics thermal control, cryogenic fluid conditioning, and high-temperature gas handling.
