The Ljungström® Air Preheater is available in a wide range of sizes to meet your needs.
Our first-class refurbishment services will restore the thermal efficiency and leakage control of your equipment to better than new.
Offering optimal efficiency, our APHs will save you significantly on your operating costs.
We have been pioneers and experts in air preheaters since their inception in the 1920s. Our experience includes over 4,000 Ljungström® Air Preheaters have been installed in various industrial heat recovery applications.
The Ljungström® Air Preheater is more widely used than any other type of compact heat exchanger for comparable service.
The proven performance, reliability, and process adaptability of our air preheaters mean that LJUNGSTRÖM has set the worldwide standard in regenerative heat exchanger technology.
At LJUNGSTRÖM, we offer a comprehensive selection of replacement parts to repair badly damaged APHs or one subjected to inappropriate out of service storage to get your air preheater operational again as soon as possible. However, we’re all too aware that when production trains are taken out of service, lost revenue can be severe. That’s why in certain circumstances we recommend a complete replacement of an air preheater instead of repair and refurbishment, which can take significantly longer.
Fortunately, our replacement services are speedy and hassle-free so that you can be up and running again in no time at all. LJUNGSTRÖM replacement units are generally a drop-in design, attaching directly to your existing support foundations. Duct connections are also usually a direct fit-up, and expansion joints are renewed simultaneously. Depending on the availability of adequate tools and personnel, we can have your air preheater replaced within 48 hours.
Additionally, our smaller sized air preheaters ship to your site fully assembled and ready to drop into place in a single lift. While our larger units need to be shipped in parts, these can be assembled on site to facilitate a single lift installation. Using this technique, we have successfully installed replacement air preheaters as large as size 22.5 in just a few days.
