Extending the life of vital defence equipment
Protecting the legacy
We have supplied heat exchange technologies to the defence sector for more than 50 years. Brand names of the many original companies that form Sterling Thermal Technology include Thermo Engineers, Sterling Process Engineering, PCC Sterling, HEI, Britannia Heat Transfer, and Britannia Heatex.
Our pedigree is a major benefit in a sector which often keeps equipment in operation for up 20 to 30 years. We source maintenance and repair expertise when necessary, and of course spare parts. When equipment needs to be upgraded, we have the appropriate technical knowledge and experience to help deliver the right solutions while keeping costs under tight control.
Providing modern solutions and the right advice
When required, we can still design and manufacture the original heat exchanger technology used in older equipment. Where possible, we advise on upgrades to new materials and technologies that deliver improved performance, reliability and longevity. This helps to extend the life of existing equipment.
