HISTORICAL NOTES On the 3rd of March 1909 LUIGI BOLDROCCHI established the activity with the first orders for the supply of ten centrifugal fans. In 1911 the Officine Termo Meccaniche BOLDROCCHI was set up in Milan with a manufacturing area of 3000 square meters.
Heat Exchangers
In 1914 the first plant for air pollution control was produced.

Eng. Luigi Boldrocchi (1880-1949) Founder of the Boldrocchi Company
The company offered a wide range of products including radial and axial fans, fire-tube boilers, coolers, dryers, ventilating and heat-exchange units and plants. In 1926, the licence for the manufacture of finned tubes was acquired in the USA and the production of extended surface heat-exchangers was developed. In the twenties and thirties the company becomes a regular supplier of the main Italian industrial groups, the Ministry of Defence, naval yards and State Railways. The first complete equipment to cool a power transformer was developed and supplied in 1931.
In the post-war period, the activity was carried on by GIULIANO BOLDROCCHI who progressively abandoned standard production to concentrate on tailor made equipment for specific industrial fields such as: power generation, electromechanical industry and major shipbuilders. In 1970, a new factory was built and, with some later extensions, forms the present headquarter. In the early 80’s, supplies for the nuclear sector induced the company to introduce a Quality Assurance System. From then on, the product range has been enlarged, particularly for process air coolers and steam condensers. In the environmental field, two independent divisions have been established: Aeroto, part of the group since 1994 keeps the original name of the company Aeroto, active since 1952 in industrial noise protection and gas turbine ancillaries. Ecologia, a fusion of our traditional technology with the expertise of De Cardenas, purchased in 1997 and active since 1926 in air pollution control and industrial fans. Boldrocchi has become a heavy-duty fan leader in the world making the most of its centenary expertise with the ones of De Cardenas and Marelli In 2006 a joint-venture manufacturing company has been set up in India. Techincal drawing of OFAF cooler ROT G VI 800 kW
OFAF cooler series ROT 48 supplied in 1948

PRESENT SITUATION In three separate workshops with a total 27.000 square meter manufacturing area, Boldrocchi employs 300 staff, among which 100 are technicians. The shops are equipped with thermal, acoustic and aeraulic test facilities.
Heat Exchangers
Boldrocchi production is divided into four main lines: heat exchange (exchangers and coolers), fans, industrial noise protection and air pollution control. Today production is featured by highly specialised technical contents, many decades of 'on site' experiences, flexibility in design and in production together with high quality standards. Supplies are tailor made to fulfil all Customers’ specific requests. Boldrocchi Quality system is certified according to ISO 9001 since 1993 and according to ASME Code since 1998.

INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMER OIL WATER COOLERS The transformer oil is warmed by the heat losses of the windings.
Heat Exchangers
The oil is conveyed into the shell side of the cooler. Baffles are used to lead the oil flow around the tubes in cross flow. The cooling side on the tube side is divided in two or more paths. Two water paths are usually used.

Features of single tube cooler execution When using the single tube coolers the oil pressure must exceeds the water pressure in any operation, to avoid water infiltration into the oil circuit in case of leakage.

Features of double tube cooler execution Unlike single tube coolers, this execution of the tube bundle requires double tubes and doubled tube-plates. This special safety design enables the operation with cooling water pressure not limited by the oil pressure. Double tube coolers in standard design are suitable for a water pressure of 10 bar.
4
In case of leakage, water or oil are led into the chamber between the double tubes and the two tube plates, therefore the double tube system always prevents water and oil from mixing.

The double tube design is the most valid solution to protect the transformer, especially when, using sea or industrial water, the site maintenance is not easy. Should a leakage happen, an alarm is provided by a magnetic float switch screwed to a collecting box fitting the cooler.
