In cold, cold Russia
Harsh climatic condition does not affect the performance of our fans: Cofimco and Spig successfully completed a Natural Draft Cooling Tower project in cold, cold Russia. Designed specifically for the chemical plant’s upgrade, the Cooling Tower came equipped with a fan made from highly resistant materials at the extraordinary diameter of 20 meters.
The custom Cofimco fan, equipped with FRP fan blades, has a special larger hub.
It isn't afraid of cold, cold Russia’s weather either.
No more headaches with the complete package
Our customers know very well that a fan does not run by itself. It requires a motor and a fan ring to rotate. So why not get the complete package from us and save yourselves the headaches? Today, more and more new customers are asking Cofimco for complete fan units, designed with all elements perfectly fitting together: no more headaches!
Faco, an Italian company that plays a leading role in the field of heat exchangers for industrial applications, buys complete Cofimco fan units that include motors complete with fans, fan rings, and the necessary electrical wiring for external connection.
The customer need only plug it in and turn it on. The available range is typically from 4 feet to 7 feet. Atex certification is available upon request.
A hit with the heat
Heat is our primary form of energy. And heat from geothermal energy, contained within the Earth, generates geological phenomena on a planetary scale. The Earth’s heat can be recovered and used by man to produce power.
Ormat, one of the world leading companies for engineering and building geothermal plants, has chosen Cofimco aluminum fans for cooling their plants. A series of 192 fans with 5-meter diameter will be used in the McGinness Hills geothermal complex located in Lander County, Nevada. After the upgrade, their plant will produce a net average annual capacity of more than 60 MW from the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.
The new Tandem® blade fan: the future is now!
Since 2005, Carlo Gallina has been working in the technical department of Cofimco. Now he's in charge of the Engineering Division of Cofimco Italy and involved in the Research & Development of high performance axial fans.
After many months of hard work and relentless testing with his team, Carlo had the pleasure to present the new Tandem® blade at CTI Annual Conference last February 6th. As one would expect, his presentation was greeted with enthusiasm: the product is designed to optimize fan performance by increasing lift and reducing vortexes generated by the blade.
The future is now. Please call us to receive more information about this revolutionary product!
From Russia To Cote d'Ivorie: The World Is Just Enough!
Cofimco is proud to announce new major contracts were made official with the German subsidiary of GEA. The supply consists of fans with FRP and aluminum blades, which will serve Air Cooled Condensers to be constructed in Cote d'Ivoire, Argentina, and Russia.
An important contract was signed with Hyundai, commissioning eighteen 10,973 mm diameter fans for the Ciprel IV expansion project in the the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.
Sixteen large fans equipped with aluminum blades will soon be ready to use in two more Air-Cooled Condensers nearing completion in the province of Chubut, in southern Argentina. In this case, the order came from Pan American Energy Group.
Thanks to Tomet Methanol, Russia will be the country where nine other large fans will come into operation soon.
These results confirm Cofimco as the global leader in the field of axial fans, a goal achieved after years of hard work and continuous research: each fan we supply is ready to face the most severe working conditions in every part of the world. A fact that each of our partners know. And appreciates.
200 Fans Can't Be Wrong!
A significant supply of 200 fans was commissioned by Saipem to equip a number of GEA Aircoolers, as part of the expansion project of the integrated refinery and petrochemical complex located in Rabigh, north of Jeddah, on the West Coast of Saudi Arabia .
The supply includes the innovative Cofimco AV (Automatic Variable Pitch Angle), designed to adjust the cooling capacity in real time.
Tandem®: The Future Is Now.
After a series of teasers that left us literally holding our breath, Cofimco has finally revealed the big news for 2014.
Premiered February 6th at CTI, Tandem® is the new axial fan that uses aircraft technology to provide better performance with less energy: the surface of the blade is just like the flaps mounted on an airplane’s wings.
We don't need a crystal ball to predict Tandem® will be a worldwide success.
How To Be Cool In Algeria
Cofimco was selected by SPX Cooling Technologies Belgium to supply 54 large diameter fans to be installed in a dry ACC environment in Algeria.
The fans will be functional at two power plants that Daewoo E & C Co. and Hyundai Engineering Co. Ltd are building for Algérienne Société de Production de l'Elecricitè.
The trust given to Cofimco shows how our FRP fans are suitable for the A-Frame Air cooled condenser, a critical element for the smooth operation of the turbines.
