Overview of Heat Exchanger Rentals
Altex Industries has flexible rental options for our heat exchangers, with both weekly and monthly rates available. We offer discounts for multiple unit rentals and extended rental periods, ensuring cost-effective solutions for your specific needs. We can even sell you a rental exchanger!
Our rental fleet includes a range of shell and tube exchangers in various sizes and configurations. Our experienced engineering team is available to provide comprehensive support, assessing the thermal, vibration, and mechanical suitability of the exchangers for your application.
All our exchangers are designed and manufactured to meet the highest industry standards, including ASME VIII-Div.1, TEMA R, and API 660. They are CRN registered with Alberta (ABSA) and can be registered in additional provinces (BC, Saskatchewan, Ontario, etc.) as required.
To maintain the quality and reliability of our equipment, each exchanger goes through cleaning, disassembly, and inspection between rental periods. This ensures optimal performance and minimizes the risk of contamination or failure during operation.
If we can’t align a rental exchanger with your needs, we can offer design and fabrication of a new unit on an expedited basis.

Why Choose Altex Industries for Heat Exchanger Rental?
We understand the impact that heat exchanger issues can have on your operations.
Expert Guidance: Our experienced process engineers will help you design the optimal implementation for your needs.
Certified Cleaning: We handle thorough cleaning of our exchangers.
Rigorous Testing: Each exchanger undergoes pressure tests and inspection after every use to guarantee reliable performance.
Rapid Deployment: Skip the lengthy lead times associated with custom fabrication. Rental units ship quickly to minimize unplanned outages.
OpEx vs. CapEx Flexibility: Allocate expenses through operational budgets rather than tying up capital funds earmarked for major infrastructure projects.
Plug-and-Play Integration: Units are configured with versatile nozzle layouts and standard flange footprints to simplify connection to your existing piping systems with minimal site modifications.
Strategic Use Cases for Heat Exchanger Rentals
Temporary heat exchangers play an essential role in keeping production running across several operational scenarios:
Emergency Replacement & Failure Recovery: When an existing unit suffers catastrophic tube failure, severe damage, or sudden leaks, a rental exchanger acts as an immediate bridge to restore production quickly.
Turnaround & Maintenance Support: Keep partial or full plant capacity active while primary exchangers are pulled offline for cleaning, retubing, hydrostatic testing, or inspection.
Temporary Capacity & Seasonal Offsets: Resolve short-term bottlenecks or high ambient summer cooling limitations without committing to permanent, capital-intensive equipment installations.
Selecting the Right Rental Equipment for Your Process
A temporary unit must match your exact operating conditions to ensure safe, continuous performance. Key selection factors include:
Metallurgy & Fluid Compatibility: We match exchanger materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or specialized alloys, to handle your specific process fluids, pressures, and corrosive environments safely.
Equipment Versatility: Choose from high-pressure shell-and-tube configurations depending on your spatial and thermal requirements.
Performance Validation: Every Altex Industries rental unit undergoes strict pressure testing, cleaning, and thermal rating checks before dispatch, ensuring it meets required duty standards right out of the frame.
Integrated Support and Technical Execution
A rental unit is only as reliable as the team behind it. Altex Industries provides complete end-to-end service support for every deployment:
Field Service Integration: Our experienced field technicians manage site delivery, mechanical connection, pressure checks, and eventual decommissioning.
Scalable Thermal Strategy: While your rental unit maintains active production, our engineering team uses real-time operating data to guide your long-term repair, retubing, or permanent replacement plan.
The Altex Industries Standard: Every rental is backed by the same technical precision, engineering rigor, and quality assurance that go into our custom permanent fabrications.

FAQs
What are the best applications for temporary heat exchanger rentals?
Rental units are ideal for planned refinery turnarounds, supplemental seasonal cooling during summer peaks, and pilot plant testing. They are also frequently used to maintain production levels while primary units are off-site for cleaning, re-tubing, or major repairs.
Why should a facility choose to rent a heat exchanger instead of buying?
Renting allows facilities to treat equipment costs as an operational expense (OpEx) rather than a major capital investment (CapEx), preserving cash flow. It also provides an immediate solution for temporary production spikes or emergency failures without the long lead times of new manufacturing.
Can rental heat exchangers handle high-pressure and high-temperature processes?
Modern rental fleets include heavy-duty shell and tube designs capable of handling pressures up to 500 PSI and temperatures exceeding 350°F. Always verify the specific ASME or TEMA ratings of the rental unit to match the requirements of your industrial application.
What are the maintenance responsibilities for a rented heat exchanger?
The rental provider typically handles all major preventive maintenance and ensures the unit is delivered in peak operating condition. The facility is generally responsible for daily monitoring and ensuring the process fluids remain within the agreed-upon chemical and thermal limits.
