Ahena Boilers
Heat Exchangers
Smoke Tube Heat Exchangers
Thanks to our experience and design capabilities, we manufacture smoke tube heat exchangers, available in both horizontal and vertical configurations, for the production of hot water, superheated water or steam. Each solution is developed to measure based on specific customer requirements, ensuring maximum thermal efficiency, reliability and long life.
Structural Characteristics
Each heat exchanger is configurable according to plant requirements; in particular, based on the type of installation and heating fluid, you can choose:
-
- Horizontal or vertical positioning
- Tube diameter
- Flue gas inlet with or without firebox
- Geometry of flue gas inlet and outlet chambers
Energy Efficiency Solutions
Ahena heat exchangers, used as economizers, allow thermal energy recovery by maximizing the overall efficiency of the systems in which they are installed.
-
- designed to maximize energy recovery based on process data
- equipped with high-efficiency thermal insulation to minimize thermal losses to the external environment
- possibility to install cleaning systems pneumatic systems for periodic deposit removal, maintaining high heat exchange efficiency over time
