L&M
Radiator designs heat exchangers in all shapes,
sizes and capacities for cooling water, oil or air.
L&M
engineers work directly with customers, OEMs, engine
manufacturers and fan suppliers to build in MESABI® reliability.
This includes working with OEMs in their plants and in
the field to verify
performance requirements.

Limited
space for engine
and oil cooling.
“V-Pack” heat
exchanger package.
This frac truck powered by a 16V4000
Detroit Diesel rated at 3,000 horsepower had limited deck space.
L&M engineers
combined both engine and oil cooling in a common framework
and fan – or
“V-Pack”.
The radiator forms one half of a “V”-shaped frame and
the oil cooler the other half. Both share a horizontal fan at the
top of the “V” which pulls air through the “V” and
exhausts it upward and away from people and equipment. |
Radiator
external plugging.
Relocate
radiator to canopy.
Komatsu® crawler tractor
working in northern Alberta, Canada, oil sands
was experiencing constant external plugging from
oil and
water-saturated sand. L&M engineers relocated radiator to top
of canopy and placed a hydraulically-driven fan below the radiator
to drive air upward and through the radiator.
This design has also been used in equipment operating in landfills
where radiators experience regular plugging from plastic
and paper debris. |
