Heat Transfer & Recovery in Challenging Environments
Turnbull & Scott designs and manufactures high-end, heavy duty, robust, heat exchanger systems for a wide variety of industrial applications within traditional power generation, low-carbon CHP, nuclear, food processing, oil and gas, petrochemical, paper and packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. These include:
- Heating & Cooling Coils
- Economisers & Waste Heat Recovery Systems
- Air Blast/Dry Air Coolers
- Air Cooled Steam Condensers
- Process Dryers & Coils
The technical design team has a wealth of expertise in thermodynamics and heat transfer and welcomes enquiries at the earliest stages of project development.
Repairs & Refurbishments
The company offers repair and refurbishment services also and can offer on-site visits and factory testing to determine whether repairs are possible and to undertake repairs and refurbishment of existing coils and headers where feasible or supply retrofit of replacement coils and headers where required.

What is a heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device which transfers (or exchanges) heat from one fluid to another.
When considering what you want from your heat exchanger, it is important to think about the reasons why you want a heat exchanger, as well as how and where you will use it.
When do you need a Heat Exchanger?
- You want to take a cold fluid and make it hot
- You want to take a hot fluid and cool it down
- You want to cool a fluid while heating another fluid
- You want to use a hot fluid to heat another fluid
To ensure you get the very best solution, and to enable us to give you a good idea of cost, think about the following:
What do I need to consider?
Fluid type
What are the 'fluids' you are heating (air and steam, air and water, other)?
Temperatures
What are the inlet temperatures of the fluids?
What are the outlet temperatures of the fluids?
Fluid quantity
What is the volume flow rate?
What is the mass flow rate?
Expected envelope
Where will the unit be fitted?
How big is the space?
Are there any structural considerations?
What will it connect to?
These considerations inform the application of our expertise (in thermofluids, heat transfer, design, manufacture and installation) to ensure you get the best and most value-for-money heat exchanger for your needs.
