When severe corrosion, tube-sheet erosion, or mechanical fatigue makes an existing cooler uneconomical to repair, VTF Mechanical Services FZE delivers precision heat exchanger fabrication in UAE. Operating from our heavy mechanical workshop in Dubai Maritime City, we engineer, machine, weld, and pressure-test complete replacement shell and tube heat exchangers, custom tube bundles, charge air cooler blocks, and water boxes for marine and industrial clients across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Ajman.
Whether you have full OEM general arrangement drawings or require our engineers to reverse-engineer a damaged sample unit, we manufacture drop-in replacement exchangers built to TEMA and ASME standards—eliminating multi-month overseas factory lead times.
From individual machined components to complete pressure-tested thermal transfer assemblies, our Dubai Maritime City facility fabricates to exact dimensional and metallurgical specifications:
Turnkey fabrication of fixed-tube-sheet, U-tube, and floating-head shell and tube heat exchangers, marine condensers, lube oil coolers, jacket water coolers, and fuel heaters.
Manufacturing complete replacement straight-tube and U-tube bundles ready to slide directly into your existing shell—assembled with new tube sheets, baffles, tie rods, and distance spacers.
Precision machining and drilling of Naval Brass, Cupro-Nickel, Stainless Steel (316L), Duplex, Titanium, and Carbon Steel tube sheets—complete with TEMA-standard expansion grooves.
Custom fabrication and machining of steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous channel heads, bonnets, return covers, pass partition plates, and rolled shell barrels with protective marine coatings.
Supply and custom manufacturing of replacement finned-tube marine main and auxiliary engine scavenge air cooler cores when existing blocks are beyond retubing limits.
Fabrication and refurbishment of Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) fixed/movable frame plates, stainless steel cladding, carrying bars, drip trays, and custom marine piping spools.
As part of our complete heat exchanger engineering solutions in the UAE, we manufacture replacement equipment whether or not you possess original OEM drawings.
No Drawings Required
Many older marine vessels and industrial plants lack detailed fabrication drawings for legacy coolers. Send your damaged unit to our Dubai Maritime City workshop (or request an onboard measurement survey across any UAE port):
TEMA & ASME Compliant
When client drawings, datasheets, and material specifications are provided, our fabrication bay at W500B-W527, Madinat Dubai Al Melaheyah executes full build-to-print manufacturing:
Every heat exchanger and tube bundle manufactured under our ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 quality management system follows a strict 6-stage production workflow:
Inspecting your sample unit or technical specifications to generate detailed general arrangement (GA) and machining drawings for client approval.
Selecting and verifying certified tube sheets, baffles, shells, and seamless/welded tubes (CuNi, Titanium, 316L, Carbon Steel) with full mill traceability.
Precision drilling, reaming, and serration grooving of tube holes to TEMA tolerances, alongside machining of baffle plates, tie rods, and flanges.
Assembling the skeleton cage, inserting tubes, executing calibrated torque-controlled mechanical/hydraulic tube rolling, and welding shell/nozzle joints.
Conducting dye-penetrant/NDT weld checks followed by witnessed shell-side and tube-side hydrostatic testing aligned with ASME and TEMA standards.
Applying marine-grade epoxy coatings, fitting sacrificial anodes and new gaskets, compiling the quality dossier, and delivering across any UAE port or plant.
Selecting the right alloy for Arabian Gulf seawater temperature and salinity prevents premature failure. We fabricate exchangers and bundles across four primary material groups:
The marine industry standard for raw seawater condensers, main lube oil coolers, and auxiliary heat exchangers.
High-strength corrosion resistance for closed-loop freshwater coolers, chemical processing, and petrochemical duties.
Titanium Grade 1/2 for zero-corrosion offshore/desalination duties, paired with Naval Brass or Muntz Metal tube sheets.
ASTM A179 seamless carbon steel tubes for refinery oil/steam duties and finned copper/aluminum tubes for air coolers.
Yes. Our engineering team regularly reverse-engineers corroded or obsolete marine and industrial heat exchangers directly from the damaged sample unit. We measure every dimension, tube pitch, baffle spacing, and flange detail to produce CAD drawings and manufacture a 100% drop-in replacement.
If the existing tube sheets are healthy and within hole-diameter tolerances, retubing the existing bundle is the most economical choice. However, if the tube sheets have suffered severe galvanic erosion, ligament cracking, distorted tube holes, or corroded baffles, fabricating a new tube bundle with new CNC-drilled tube sheets ensures long-term leak-free reliability.
Yes. Every custom-fabricated heat exchanger or tube bundle is delivered with a complete QA documentation package—including EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificates (MTC) for tubes and plates, dimensional inspection reports, and certified hydrostatic pressure test certificates.
Yes. Once fabrication and workshop hydro-testing are completed in Dubai Maritime City, our 24-hour mobile mechanical crew can transport the unit and perform turnkey installation, bolt-up, alignment, and commissioning across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Jebel Ali, Sharjah, and RAK.
Send us your technical drawings or arrange an inspection of your sample unit at our Dubai Maritime City workshop for a fast quotation and fabrication schedule.
