Compression generates significant heat that elevates discharge air temperatures above safe limits for downstream air systems. Properly sized aftercoolers cool air to near-ambient conditions and reduce moisture — protecting air brakes, control systems, and pneumatic equipment.
Cooling systems must handle peak heat rejection during heavy towing and grade climbing, then adapt to low-speed urban cycles without inefficiency or thermal management issues.
On-highway vehicles have defined installation envelopes. Heat exchangers must deliver required thermal performance within packaging constraints — with OEM-ready configurations that simplify integration and reduce assembly time.
Basco™ provides a complete range of pipeline aftercoolers, ES extended surface coolers, and Type 500 shell and tube exchangers for on-highway compressed air and engine cooling applications — available in standard catalog and custom configurations.
Basco™ PLAC air-to-air and water-to-air aftercoolers for compressed air systems on on-highway vehicles — cooling discharge air and reducing moisture in pneumatic braking, control, and tool supply systems.
ES extended surface heat exchangers for multi-stage air compression — rapidly cooling air between stages to maximize compression efficiency and protect downstream equipment.
Basco™ Type 500 compact shell and tube exchangers for lube oil and fluid power cooling on commercial vehicle engines and powertrains — with standard and custom configurations.
