Manufacture of Replacement Shell Tube Heat Exchangers, Condensers & Tube Nests

AKS offers direct replacement shell & tube heat exchangers, condensers and tube nests manufactured to your needs. These can be manufactured from a pattern, basis drawings or a survey on your site, plant or vessel.

Directly replacing a shell and tube heat exchanger is often much quicker and more cost effective than going back to the original manufacturer (OEM).

We manufacture both main and auxiliary engine oil coolers, water coolers and steam condensers from our our works plant in Sheffield. These are all built to specification and come with third-party inspection such as Lloyds Register, or as requested.

We also manufacture replacement tube nests, which are fully pressure tested and again, come with third-party inspection if required.
