Heat Exchangers for Tankers

Tanker operations place high demands on thermal systems; from inert gas systems and lube oil cooling to cargo handling and fuel preparation.

LHE designs heat exchangers that match your spec and process, combining high transfer rates, marine-grade durability, and a compact footprint. We build for real-world operation, with global service and proven lifecycle value.

Designs that stay reliable under pressure

Whether you’re outfitting a new vessel or replacing legacy units, we help you hit performance targets while managing space, cost, and cleaning requirements.

Engineered for glycol, seawater, lube oil, and hazardous cargo streams
Strong corrosion resistance and marine-optimized materials
Compact form factor for engine room and utility spaces
High efficiency at low temperature differentials

Supporting performance across tanker systems

Thermal stability at sea

High-efficiency designs maintain consistent performance despite temperature swings and partial load conditions.

Reduced fouling and cleaning time

We optimize flow layouts and surface area to minimize buildup and simplify routine maintenance.

Right materials from the start

We match design to the vessel’s actual fluid conditions and compliance needs, avoiding delays or spec mismatches.

Faster design integration

Our thermal and mechanical support shortens lead times for quoting, drawing approvals, and onboard fitting.

Built to compare and designed to fit

High efficiency, low footprint

We balance transfer performance with space constraints better than traditional shell-and-tube or oversized plate options.

Proven marine lifecycle reliability

Used across LNG carriers and chemical tankers, our exchangers perform in long-cycle engine duty and corrosive service alike.

Responsive technical partnership

You’re not left waiting. Our thermal and mechanical teams are integrated, fast-moving, and local where it matters.

One supplier, complete coverage

We provide both welded and gasketed units under one roof, so you don’t need multiple vendors to handle different pressure classes.

LHE Global Service Network

With service centers in over 13 countries, LHE delivers localized support where and when you need it. We provide cleaning, testing, reconditioning, and on-site diagnostics — backed by centralized QA and engineering support.
