Thermal and process equipment

Thermal and process equipment covers heat exchangers and pressure vessels: engineered-to-order plant built to codes such as PD 5500.

More coming soonHeat exchangers and pressure vessels, engineered to order.

A measured £2.0bn UK market across a modelled 150 to 250 makers. Everything here is engineered to order by nature, but the work is calculation-heavy and code-governed, so it suits the bespoke build service before any preset: the configurator carries the dimensional and selection layer while the seller's engineers own the code calculations.

What it covers

Example configurable products

  • Shell and tube heat exchangers by duty and geometry
  • Air blast coolers
  • Simple pressure vessels and receivers

The market

Sized and graded, never overstated

Every figure carries its confidence label. Measured comes from a named source; modelled is our own estimate and says so.

Questions

About this category

Can a configurator handle pressure vessel code calculations?
No. Nor should it pretend to. A bespoke build carries the dimensional and selection layer (sizes, materials, connections, options) and leaves code calculations and sign-off with your engineers.

If it is dimensioned and quoted repeatedly, a bespoke build on the same runtime can serve it.
