 KEEPING THE POWER GENERATION INDUSTRY COOL

Modine designs and manufactures

cleanable coolers for electrical motors and
generators. Available in both single tube
(QLKE)
and double tube (QDKR) versions, the
Modine motor/generator coolers feature
a removable header, making cleaning even
easier for the most demanding conditions.

Thanks to its many years serving the

very diverse needs and often corrosive
environments of the power generation
industry, Modine is able to support its
clients in selecting the configuration
and materials that best suit the specific
operating conditions.

To further assist clients in the selection

of the ideal motor/generator cooler, Modine
offers its proprietary “COILS” selection
software that helps in selecting the most
appropriate heat exchanger configuration
based on clients’ specific criteria and
installation conditions.

HOOD INSTALLATIONS
A COMPLETE UNIT
Modine supplies the complete hood unit,
including the cooler, designed specifically
to interface with motors or generators.
The hood units are customized to fit the
client’s needs and can be delivered with or
without fan units and with the steel painted
according to the corresponding preferred
paint system. Hoods made of stainless steel
are also available.
The hood can be equipped with for
example PT100 sensors, cable rails,
inspection doors, drip tray with leakage
detector and certified lifting lugs according
to clients demands etc.
Large hoods can be designed as two
separate pieces to optimize transportation.
Please contact us for more information.

RESIN TRANSFORMER COOLER
Modine´s Resin transformer cooler is a
complete customizable unit with a cleanable
cooler, fans, damper and leakage detector.
Designed for small-medium transformer
applications, such as transformer plants
on sport fields, ships or other industrial
applications where a tension commutation
is needed without the set-up of a fixed plant
cooled by oil.
Resin transformer cooler is particularly
suitable for those environments subject to
blast dangers, where traditional oil cooling
would consequently not be recommended.
On cruise or merchant ships, for example,
this solution is very effective in order to
comply with the safety rules concerning
dangerous fluids: the traditional plant is
replaced by static equipment, where only
the fan-motors are rotating. All mobile or
semi-mobile applications can therefore be
operated by this integrated system that
features forced air circulation.
FINNED PACK HEAT EXCHANGER
At the core of the Resin transformer cooler
is a finned pack heat exchanger that allows
Modine´s Resin transformer cooler is suitable for example on cruise ships.
the regulation of the air flow forced inside
by the fan-motors. The product can also be
equipped with dampers that intercept the
air flow in case the fan-motors switch off.
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Modine supplies the complete solution,
including the cooler and corresponding
finned pack heat exchanger with all the
control devices.
