Products that cool marine engines are at the heart of our mission at TSM Champ. Whether you need heat exchange products to cool engine water, oil or fuel or transmission oil or hydraulic oil, we have the industry’s highest quality products and through our nationwide network of manufacturing plants and branches, we can get them to you faster and more consistently.
Let’s take a look at the top products in TSM Champ lineup.
SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER
TSM Champ’s traditional shell & tube heat exchanger utilizes tried and true brazed shell & tube (BST) technology. BST implements traditional brazing of copper, brass, and bronze to construct a rugged, highly efficient cooling solution capable of withstanding high pressure and high temperature applications. The design & construction of similar metals reduces thermal expansion problems seen in similar coolers with dissimilar metals. In addition, these brazed shell & tube products are easily customizable, configurable, and capable of supporting tandem/multiple fluids, integrated expansion tank & thermostat designs.
BST heat exchangers are an excellent option for rapid delivery and testing “Proof of Concept” prototypes to validate heat exchanger configuration and performance before investing in production tooling making it ideal for low, medium, and high-volume production runs.
Key applications of this product include:
- Engine oil coolers
- Engine water coolers
- Fuel coolers
- Hydraulic oil coolers
- Power steering oil coolers
- Transmission oil coolers
RUBBER TUBE SHEET HEAT EXCHANGER
Heat exchangers utilizing rubber tube sheet (RTS) technology consist of a header constructed of rubber to eliminate the need for the labor-intensive brazing method of heat exchanger construction. The RTS header provides the bundle construction support of a traditional header and provides the sealing solution for shell and tube fluid isolation. This provides virtually unlimited tube material choices and shell materials and construction methods and eliminates the thermal expansion issues with dissimilar metals. The RTS compound can be tailored to accommodate any fluid eliminating fluid compatibility issues. All in all, leveraging RTS technology allows for virtually unlimited design flexibility supporting tandem/multiple fluids, integrated expansion tank & thermostat designs and is ideal for medium, high, and very high-volume production runs.
ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGY
TSM Champ prides itself on providing options through innovative technology for our customers. Adhesive Technology utilized in the construction of shell & tube heat exchangers is another example of that mission. Our Adhesive Technology implements an adhesive header constructed “two-part epoxy” to eliminate the need for the labor-intensive brazing method of heat exchanger construction.
Adhesive technology provides virtually unlimited tube material choices and shell materials and construction methods and eliminates the thermal expansion issues with dissimilar metals. Adhesive compounds can be tailored to accommodate any fluid eliminating fluid compatibility issues thus allowing for virtually unlimited design flexibility supporting tandem/multiple fluids, integrated expansion tank & thermostat designs. No matter your production run size, this option is ideal for medium, high, and very high-volume production runs.
These heat exchangers are the preeminent option for marine OE’s looking for reliability and durability in their engine components — and TSM Champ is their source. Our product line also includes aluminum or copper fin charge air coolers as well as stainless steel coolers to accommodate every marine engine cooling need.
