High Performance Condenser

Lytron designs and manufactures custom heat exchangers for many applications, including commercial aviation. We recently added a high performance condenser to our Custom Solution Gallery. The condenser features two continuous, serpentine, flat tube extrusions welded together, a vacuum-brazed core assembly with both air fin and an integrated hail guard, a cast inlet plenum duct, a manifolded inlet and outlet for optimal thermal performance, and tightly-toleranced mounting interfaces. The condenser was designed for use with R134A refrigerant.

Lytron has manufactured thousands of flight-worthy flat-tube and plate-fin heat exchangers since it was founded in 1958. The company’s heat exchangers have flown on the 787 Dreamliner, F-22 Stealth Fighter, V-22 Osprey, F16 Fighting Falcon, the Airforce One Presidential Helicopter, and the VH-3D.

Custom Transmission
Oil Cooler

Lytron has added a new transmission oil cooler to its plate-fin heat exchanger custom solution gallery. The oil cooler was designed and manufactured by Lytron for cooling oil in a ground based vehicle. It features vacuum-brazed aluminum plate-fin technology and has two liquid loops – one for the hot oil and one for a Propylene Glycol (PGW) based coolant. The heat exchanger is also chromate coated for corrosion protection.

Lytron designs and manufactures oil coolers using various technologies, including tube-fin, flat tube, and plate-fin construction. For more information on how we select the best technology for OEM applications, please review our blog article, “Oil Coolers: Flat Tube or Plate-Fin,” as well as our Engineering Design webpage.
