Heat Exchangers for High-Efficiency Industrial Processes
Industrial processes and special application
In production plants, heat is a resource as valuable as it is complex to manage.
DBM designs and manufactures heat exchangers for a wide range of industrial processes, often operating under extreme conditions and highly specific technical requirements. Our expertise supports applications ranging from condensers for solvents and hydrocarbons at temperatures down to -196 °C, to process and fuel gas liquefaction systems.
We also produce industrial heat exchangers for belt drying systems, such as those used in pellet production, and steam, superheated water, or thermal oil solutions for municipal sludge treatment. Our activities extend to the pulp and paper industry, with heat exchangers dedicated to thermal processes, as well as lubricating oil coolers—sometimes with internal turbulators for high-viscosity fluids—and heating and cooling systems for packaging and plastic film production.
Our capabilities further include economizers for ORC cycles, double-tube safety heat exchangers for cooling critical equipment such as generators and electric motors, and coolers for compressed air and pressurized gases.
Tailored thermal management solutions for every application
With decades of experience, DBM can handle processes from –196 °C to over 450 °C, with a wide range of fluids on both the internal and external sides and operating pressures from vacuum up to over 160 bar(g). Our solutions range from small precision cooling units to large monoblocks exceeding 18,000 kg, all designed and manufactured according to major international pressure equipment codes and the highest safety and reliability standards.
