We offer a single point of contact for all systems involved in cooling – including air intake, exhaust, ventilation, filtering, noise control systems and various electronic devices – which results in a quicker turnaround and a guarantee of performance and reliability. MOTORS GENERATORS TRANSFORMERS We work differently at Boldrocchi: we analyze your parameters and custom design coolers that specifically fit your needs and optimize the cooling process. We are not only committed to quality, but on-time delivery, and as such, have earned awards from our customers. …thanking Boldrocchi for the flexibility and cooperative approach…always granting on time delivery and quality… Pavel Lukes, COO Generators Division, Brush Solutions for Motors & Generators AIR-TO-AIR COOLERS (CACA) Types: Direct forced ventilation Forced ventilation with fan installed on motor shaft Forced ventilation with fan in-line with cooler Combined forced ventilation Other: Axial and centrifugal fans Noise protection AIR-TO-WATER COOLERS (CACW) Single & double tube cooler elements Without internal fan With internal fan Connection water piping (in a wide variety of materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper-nickel alloys, etc.) Centrifugal fans Noise protection ASME VIII / U STAMP API 541 & 546 HYDROGEN-TO-WATER COOLERS COMPLETE CLOSED-LOOP COOLING SYSTEMS around generators for hydro power plants WEATHER PROTECTION CANOPY Natural ventilation Axial and centrifugal fans Noise protection MAINTENANCE Over 28,000 heavy-duty motors & generators worldwide are equipped with Boldrocchi equipment. Solutions for Transformers We provide coolers for both power and industrial transformers around the world. Oil-to-air coolers (OFAF/ODAF) Oil-to-water coolers, single tubes (OFWF) Oil-to-water coolers, double tubes (OFWF) Forced air, forced water cast resin coolers (AFWF) Axial flow fans (including for oil natural air forced (ONAF) cooling systems) Circulating oil pumps (radial, inline) Noise protection systems/silencers Connection piping Fastening Handling & storage Over 19,000 transformer coolers have been installed on power & industrial transformers around the globe. Our coolers can be supplied with third party approval from: ABS American Bureau of Shipping BV Bureau Veritas DNV Det Norske Veritas LRS Lloyds Register of Shipping RINA Registro Italiano Navale RMRS Russian Maritime Register of Shipping Heat Exchangers & Coolers Case Studies ENGINEERING 9 ACHES FOR A COMPLEX O&G PROJECT IN KAZAKHSTAN Boldrocchi designed, manufactured, inspected & tested nine (9) high performance air cooled heat exchangers (ACHE) solutions for a complex project in Kazakhstan and delivered all products in an impressive 11-months. The quick turnaround for the project occurred despite several challenges: the ACHEs had to be light enough to be mounted atop pipe racks, efficient & reliable while using external recirculation in extreme temperature variations, and sturdy as they’re in a seismic zone. READ MORE THE HIGHEST CAPACITY TRANSFORMER COOLERS EVER REALIZED FOR AN ALUMINUM SMELTER IN CANADA Boldrocchi was the only company up to the challenge of engineering and manufacturing 10 enormous transformer coolers for an aluminum smelter in Quebec, Canada. Indeed, the 10 coolers had capacities of 800 kW each with very low oil operating temperatures and represent the highest capacity transformer coolers ever realized. Boldrocchi was contracted to engineer, manufacture and ship the ten enormous transformer coolers to an aluminum smelting plant in Bécancours, Canada. READ MORE COOLING SYSTEM FOR A LARGE MOTOR AT THE WORLD’S FIRST LNG PLANT TO USE COMBINED-CYCLE TECHNOLOGY Boldrocchi engineered and manufactured an air-to-water cooling system for a large motor at an LNG Project near Darwin, Australia. Boldrocchi designed & manufactured all parts of the cooling system with a power to dissipate of 600 Kw: the heat exchanger, tubes, fans, circulating pump & electrical devices. Our in-house facilities allowed us to undertake thermal, mechanical, structural, stress and noise tests, guaranteeing peak performance and reliability. This cooler was ASME VIII tested with a pressure 16 bar, and designed to work at an air temperature of 10°C (50°F). It has double tube cooler elements and includes four centrifugal fans (ext) with installed power of 75 Kw each. It was engineered to provide 100% redundancy. This project was an important one: it is the world’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant to use combined cycle technology. The onshore plant is powered by natural gas from the Ichthys Field.
