Aalborg MX

The Aalborg MX is a compact shell-and-tube heat exchanger with U-tubes, ideal for heating oil or water. It uses either steam or thermal oil as the heating medium. Its heat load capacities range from 10 kW to approximately 2000 kW, with design conditions (shell/tube) either up to 16/16 bar(g) 160/204°C or 32/19 bar(g) 195/212°C. The Aalborg MX is approved by all major marine classification societies and is CE/PED approved.

Compact heat exchanger for oil/water heating or cooling

  • Efficiently heat oil, water and other fluids in marine and industrial applications
  • Adapt the heat exchanger design to your application using the wide range of customization options
  • Install horizontally or vertically to fit the available space
  • Rely on constant outlet temperature with an accurate thermostat, which increases or decreases the flow of heating medium as needed

The Aalborg MC is primarily used for oil cooling or as a steam dump condenser on marine vessels, but it can also be found in a variety of industrial applications thanks to its proven and cost-effective design.
