What Are Heat Exchangers?
Heat exchangers are devices used to transfer thermal energy from one fluid to another—either for cooling or heating purposes—without mixing the two fluids. In industrial systems, heat exchangers are used to:
- Cool hydraulic oil or engine fluids to prevent overheating
- Control temperature in compressed air or gas systems
- Maintain efficiency in manufacturing, power generation, or mobile equipment
- Recover waste heat for energy savings
AKG offers solutions for air-to-liquid and liquid-to-liquid heat exchange, optimized for performance, durability, and compact installation footprints.

FAQ: AKG Thermal Heat Exchangers
What fluids can AKG heat exchangers handle?
- AKG exchangers are compatible with hydraulic oil, water-glycol mixtures, engine coolant, refrigerants, compressed air, and more.
Are standard models in stock?
- Yes. Cummins-Wagner can provide quick-ship options and help source customized units through AKG’s U.S. facility.
Can I replace an old cooler with an AKG unit?
- Yes. Many AKG models serve as drop-in replacements for existing systems or can be easily adapted.
Are AKG coolers built for outdoor use?
- Absolutely. Many air-cooled models are designed for rugged environments, including mobile equipment and outdoor installations.
Do you offer integrated control systems?
- Yes. AKG coolers can include temperature sensors, fan controllers, and pressure switches.
What’s the difference between air and water cooling?
- Air cooling uses fans and ambient air, while water cooling requires a secondary water loop. The choice depends on space, temperature goals, and heat load.
Do I need special mounting hardware?
- Standard brackets are included, and custom mounting solutions are available through Cummins-Wagner.
Are these heat exchangers efficient?
- Yes. AKG exchangers are optimized for high thermal transfer efficiency and minimal pressure drop.
Can AKG build custom skids?
- Yes. AKG works with Cummins-Wagner to design custom, skid-mounted systems for engine cooling, process fluid control, or mobile hydraulic cooling.
What materials are available?
- Depending on your fluid and application, AKG offers aluminum, stainless steel, copper-nickel, and epoxy-coated options.
