Mesabi® S-Fin Coolers Offer Maximum Performance
Mesabi® S-Fin Coolers by L&M Radiator offers precise, high-performance cooling solutions for any application in the oil/gas and mining industries with a flat wide tube that’s comparable in performance to bar-and-plate coolers of similar depth.
Designed as a size-for-size replacement for bar-and-plate style coolers, Mesabi S-Fin Coolers were developed to maintain reliability while increasing cooling performance.
Mesabi S-Fin Coolers achieve this by combatting thermal and mechanical shock and fatigue with an ingenious approach to rubber seals. Mesabi rubber seals eliminate thermal expansion leaks that lead to system failure and expensive downtime. Proven time and again to withstand whatever comes their way, these seals are backed by L&M’s industry-best warranty.
Thermal fatigue is a key challenge for industrial compressors and hydraulic coolers, on blast-hole drill rigs and a variety of oil-gas skid packages. When hot oil hits the core, the core expands, but the framework around it does not. When the system cools down, it is just the opposite. The core shrinks, and by that point, the framework has warmed up and still wants to be in expanded mode. This expansion-contraction cycle causes stresses at the header/tube connection in a conventional cooler, but not for a Mesabi S-Fin core. The tube and seal design ensure the core is completely isolated from the frame.
Mesabi S-Fin Coolers can be custom-designed and feature tubes with integral finning formed from the tube wall, and turbulators in the tubes to increase heat transfer.
L&M’s exclusive design ensures that Mesabi S-Fin coolers can be quickly and simply returned to service if damaged or require regular maintenance. Held in headers with flexible, fluorocarbon rubber seals locked into place with robust solid aluminum blocks, individual tubes are 100 percent replaceable in the field and the units can be returned to 100 percent cooling performance. Mesabi S-Fin cores are easily cleaned externally with high-pressure air or water.
