A comprehensive and fundamental understanding of thermal and mechanical design permits Therco to utilise the full range of design tools available, such as finite element analysis (FEA), to supplement more traditional design solutions - for example mechanical integrity calculations to ASME VIII.

For unusual applications, Therco is able to draw on an extensive database of technical data and develop unique routines to solve design problems using bespoke or proprietry software for ACHE designs. This drive towards continuous improvement of a dedicated internal technical ability creates further differentiation between Therco and other operators in the air cooled heat exchanger OE and aftermarket sectors. Therco ensures up to the minute compliance by subscription to standards such API 661, ASMEII, VIII and XI along with extensive knowledge of the workings of PED 97/23/EC.
