Quality in industrial thermal exchange solutions

At BOIXAC, we understand quality as a key factor in the development of thermal exchange solutions for demanding industrial applications.

The heat exchangers we design are built to ensure:

  • Operational reliability
  • Durability in industrial environments
  • Adaptation to the real conditions of the process

Each project is analyzed individually to ensure that the equipment complies with applicable technical and regulatory standards, as well as the operational requirements of each installation.

What ensures the quality of an industrial heat exchanger?

The quality of a heat exchanger depends on several technical factors:

  • Compliance with international standards
  • Control of welding procedures
  • Material traceability
  • Possibility of inspection and maintenance
  • Adaptation to specific process conditions

At BOIXAC, we integrate these criteria into the selection and design of equipment to ensure reliable and long-lasting solutions in demanding industrial environments.

1. Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED)

For applications that require it, heat exchangers can be manufactured in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED).

Depending on the characteristics of each project, it is possible to work with:

  • Article 4.3
  • Category I
  • Category II
  • Category III
  • Category IV

This classification allows adapting the level of control, inspection, and technical documentation to the real needs of each industrial installation.

2. International certifications and standards

According to the technical requirements of the project, equipment can be manufactured in accordance with various international standards used in pressure equipment and industrial installations.

Key available options include:

  • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPVC)
  • Welding procedure qualifications (WPS / WPQR)
  • Welder qualifications
  • Material certification and traceability
  • Quality dossiers and technical documentation

The availability of these certifications depends on the technical specifications defined by the project or client.

3. Welding control

For particularly demanding applications, equipment can be manufactured with qualified welding procedures and specific certifications.

Commonly available standards include:

  • EN ISO 3834-2 – Quality requirements for fusion welding
  • ISO 14731 – Welding coordination

These certifications help guarantee the structural quality and operational reliability of the equipment.

4. Inspection system

Some heat exchanger designs include inspection openings or access panels to facilitate periodic checks and technical verifications.

These systems allow:

  • Performing visual inspections
  • Facilitating preventive maintenance operations
  • Improving operational safety

without complex disassembly.

5. Extraction system

Certain economizers and heat recovery units can integrate extraction systems or sliding rails.

These systems allow:

  • Removing the equipment from inside the ducts
  • Facilitating cleaning and maintenance operations
  • Reducing downtime of the installation

while keeping the duct structure intact.

6. Hygiene and cleaning systems

In applications with high fouling or particle presence, heat exchangers can incorporate automatic cleaning systems.

These systems allow:

  • Maintaining thermal efficiency
  • Reducing manual maintenance interventions
  • Improving process operational continuity

7. Accessories and equipment configuration

The heat exchangers and heat recovery units we offer can adapt to different operational environments through multiple configurations.

Key available accessories include:

  • Droplet separators
  • Condensate trays
  • Manual or motorized bypass systems
  • Cleaning systems
  • Thermal insulation
  • Other project-specific solutions

This flexibility allows optimizing equipment performance and facilitating integration into existing or new industrial installations.

Technical support for thermal exchange projects

Each industrial project presents specific conditions:

  • Type of fluids
  • Temperatures and pressures
  • Corrosive environments
  • Levels of fouling

At BOIXAC, we analyze each application to propose the most suitable heat exchanger configuration, considering regulatory and operational requirements of the process.

If you are developing a project or need to replace an existing unit, our technical team can advise you on selecting the most appropriate solution.
