Generator Coolers


The production range for generators includes:


- Air-water coolers available in several designs and with different materials: copper alloys, stainless steel and titanium

- Coolers for hydrogen in closed circuits. These units are particularly sturdy, have considerable dimensions and are designed to operate in presence of high vibrations

- Circular coil heat-exchangers to cool the bearing lubricating oil of large generators and turbines

- Medium head axial fans for cooling air circulation. The construction and the impeller are designed to operate with high rotating speed, up to 3.000 rpm and discontinuously. Strict acceptance tests are carried out in excess of the over speed test at 75 Hz
