Thanks to our unique and superior modular design, Ljungström® Air Preheaters for Utility Power Generation are the preferred option all around the world.
Long-lasting, superior performance
LJUNGSTRÖM engineers have worked hard to ensure correct heating element configuration, materials, and thickness for optimal thermal and pressure drop performance, resulting in durable and high performing equipment.
Premium quality materials
Our experience with mild steel, low alloy steel, and premium enameled heating element is second to none. With advanced quality control checks and processes, our heating elements and container materials perform to exceptional standards.
Efficient sealing systems
We offer a range of sealing system options that deliver the lowest air-to-gas leakage while still providing the flexibility to operate across a range of loads.
AIR PREHEATERS FOR EVERY APPLICATION
Our vast experience and expertise have led to our range of versatile modular design platforms and configurations. This ensures that we can meet the many different requirements of our customers globally.
Maximum flexibility
Our modular design concept offers a platform with first-class technologies that can be tailored to suit a wide variety of different power plant applications whether they are fired by pulverized coal, oil, gas, or biomass.
Multiple Sizes
We know that thermal power plants are becoming increasingly large, which is why our air preheaters provide maximum flexibility and are available in a wide range of sizes. Accordingly, we’re able to meet the requirements of even the world’s largest plants.
UNRIVALED EXPERTISE
No one knows Ljungström® Air Preheaters as we do. With a reputation as the global leader in the design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of APH, LJUNGSTRÖM is proud to be the owner of Ljungström® Air Preheater technology.
Our history dates back to the 1920s when the first efficient air preheater was invented in Sweden by Frederick Ljungström. Today, we own all Ljungström® patents and trademarks across the world. Our group also combines the resources of industry-leading names including SRM, Air Preheater Company, Kraftanlagen, Gadelius, Stein, PBS, and APEL.
Our genuine Ljungström® Air Preheaters are recognized by boiler companies, utilities and manufacturers around the world as the best products of their type. This is why our air preheaters are more widely used than any other type of heat exchanger.
