Product Description
Heat Exchangers:
Heat Exchangers are static machine to condensate vapors and steam by using a cooling fluid flow.
The vapors and the cooling fluids can be in the same vessel (as in the direct contact condenser), or separate by a solid wall: a specific case is the shell and tubes type Heat Exchanger. In AB Progetti exchangers usually the cooling media flows into the tubes and the shell contains the steam and vapors to be condensate. The Heat Exchangers can be employed in many engineering processes, such as preheaters, gland condensers, vacuum System condenser. Exactly as the ejectors, they have no moving parts, hence maintenance is low, and operation is fairly constant when corrosion is not a factor, they have quiet, stable and simple operation.
AB Progetti can produce both direct contact condenser, than shell and tubes heat exchangers (with fixed or floating tubeplates); we can rolling expand the tubes or weld it to the tube plates. AB Progetti can manage all the most commonly used materials: stainless steel, special alloys like Incoloy or Hastelloy, copper alloys, titanium.
History:
“AB Progetti” was established in 1982, by another company established on 1929, named “Officina Ing. C. Belforte”.
The three founding members of AB Progetti were two brothers, A. Belforte and F. Belforte (sons of C. Belforte, owner of the previous company), and S. Bisetti.
In fact, “Officina Ing. C. Belforte” was specialized from the 30th years in design and construction of steam jet ejectors and vacuum systems, sea water desalination plants, heat exchangers, condensers and degassers.
But on the late 70th years this market moved on Japan first and later on South Korea, while the orders to Italian shipbuilders was dramatically reduced. In the same time, appeared on the market the electronic computers, allowing companies to have effective and innovative design tools at affordable prices.
For those reasons, the two Belforte brothers decided to form a new company dedicated exclusively to design, and in which the computer had a key role from the outset, a very innovative attitude for its time. The young, skilled and given S. Bisetti, was the perfect guy to start with them this new adventure.
In a short time, AB Progetti started to design its own products, using its own software (AB Progetti has always been of the opinion that it was necessary to internally develop its own dedicated software). In these days, the internal development of its own software, is a characteristic of AB Progetti, which uses it in the same time that important software worldwide applied.
This is what is behind the success of AB Progetti, asserted quickly beside most qualified suppliers for reliability and quality of its products, mainly in the sale of ejectors and vacuum systems
