Additive manufacturing for the Heat exchangers industry

Prima Additive for the heat exchanger industry

Find out what we do for the heat exchanger industry

In the heat exchanger industry, optimizing performance while reducing weight and improving thermal efficiency is critical. With Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technology from Prima Additive, you can move from CAD directly to production, enabling the creation of intricate, previously unattainable geometries. This is particularly valuable in industries requiring high-efficiency heat exchangers, as complex internal structures can be consolidated into a single part, eliminating the need for assembly and improving overall thermal conductivity.

Using PBF, heat exchangers with thin walls and complex passages can be produced, enhancing heat transfer while reducing size and weight. This flexibility in design, combined with the ability to work with a wide range of metals, allows for the optimization of thermal performance and mechanical properties, ideal for applications in energy generation and industrial cooling systems.

For added durability, Direct Energy Deposition (DED) offers precision repair and coating capabilities. This allows heat exchanger components to be coated with materials that resist corrosion and wear, extending their lifespan even in the most demanding environments. By applying high-performance coatings or repairing worn sections, DED ensures that heat exchangers continue to operate efficiently without the need for full replacements.
