Custom Heat Exchangers
When you need a custom heat exchanger, Meyer Tool & Mfg. is here to help.
A heat exchanger transfers thermal energy from a hot fluid to one that’s colder. That's not clever engineering, it's the second law of thermodynamics at work. Where the engineering comes in is helping that transfer happen efficiently and reliably.
At Meyer Tool we are experienced in designing and building custom heat exchangers. We will design and build your heat exchanger while meeting your unique and challenging requirements. If the design is already complete we will happily make it to print and manage the entire manufacturing process.

Common Applications for a Custom Heat Exchanger
Some of the heat exchangers we build are used in low-temperature applications. Others see very high temperatures.
At the low-temperature end, a cryogenic heat exchanger is built in to most cryocoolers and cryorefrigerators. Used in industrial processes as well as medicine and research, these range in size from compact units that are inches in diameter to giant systems measured in feet. (A cryorefrigerator is just a larger capacity cryocooler.)
Typical industrial applications for a cryogenic heat exchanger are those involving gas liquefaction for liquefied natural gas (LNG), helium, or nitrogen production and storage.
While those needs also exist in research, cryogenic heat exchangers have other scientific uses. These include cooling helium for applications in accelerators and nitrogen exchangers for cooling high-temperature superconductors. You'll also find superconductors in MRI machines — making this a medical application of such technology, and low temperatures are a key part of cryosurgery.
High-temperature applications more often see the “plate and fin” design of aluminum heat exchanger. These are used for thermal management in delicate electronic systems, cooling oil or fuel, and as air-to-air intercoolers.

A Heat Exchanger Tailored to Your Needs
Standard or catalog products will never be a perfect fit for your process or application. Either oversized or undersized, they’ll heat or cool too fast or too slowly, to the detriment of your finely calibrated process. The most effective method of achieving the heat flow your application needs is with a custom heat exchanger.
