ACTE Heat Exchangers
Advancing recuperator technology for over 20 years.
The recuperator behind the independent microturbine programmes.
Why ACTEFrom prototyping to volume production.
Two lines. Two jobs.
Heat handled at two points in the exhaust path.
The CPT and GAP are distinct products for different duties. Both lines offer modular cores: choose from off-the-shelf products, combine products in series or parallel, or specify custom-sized equipment. The models shown are only part of the range.
Explore the technology →Over 20 yearsHeat-recovery know-how since 1998.
12 programmesQualified across microturbine programmes.
Eight active accountsActive accounts today.
Several hundred unitsDelivered, with units still in service worldwide.
Manufacturing capacityApproximately 378 km of doublet and 265,000 m² of heat-exchange surface per line per year. Theoretical capacity at continuous 24/7 operation, before downtime.
Diode laser weldingUpdated welding technology, fully automated and standardised manufacturing, with AI-assisted quality checks.

CPT recuperators
Compact surface. Controlled pressure drop.
Primary-surface plates pack extensive exchange area into an annular core, engineered around the OEM’s allowable pressure drop, interfaces and envelope.

CPT upstream. GAP downstream.
The CPT recovers heat for combustion air preheat. The GAP recovers useful heat farther downstream for hot water, thermal oil or steam. One supplier can size both to the same exhaust conditions while keeping each product’s job clear.
