Thermal equipment
Thermal equipment
We are shaping the future of thermal equipment: more compact, lighter, and higher-performing.
- Heat exchangers – gas/gas, gas/liquid, liquid/liquid, including supercritical fluids
- Heat pipes
- Heat sinks
- Cold plates
- Structures with integrated thermal optimization
Added value:
- Performance improvement: design freedom, reduced pressure losses, and increased heat transfer
- Customization and scalability: tailor-made equipment for performance-driven clients
- Compact geometry: weight reduction and adaptability to the environment
- Function integration: ability to integrate additional features into the heat exchanger
- Cost reduction: lower costs and reduced time-to-market
- Modularity: one piece of equipment for multiple needs
- Rapid prototyping and iterations
Thermofluid testing platform
Thermofluid testing platform
Since July 2024, SOGECLAIR has strengthened its industrial offering with the commissioning of a thermofluid test bench dedicated to heat exchangers and thermal equipment.
This in-house capability enables us to provide a complete service—from design and manufacturing to qualification testing—all on a single site.
Key advantages of our testing platform:
Three types of testing: performance, pressure, and leak testing of thermal systems under real and demanding conditions
Multi-fluid compatibility: gas/gas or gas/liquid (gas: air; liquid: glycol water)
Wide measurement ranges for temperature, pressure, flow rate, and deformation
High heat exchange capacity: up to 105 kW
Expert support: from defining the test protocol to analyzing results and drafting the test report
High-precision measurement equipment
