HISTORICAL NOTES

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.

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.
In 1914 the first plant for air pollution control was produced.

Eng. Luigi Boldrocchi (1880-1949)

Founder of the Boldrocchi Company

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.

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 80s, 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.

A wide range of materials are usually used: steel and copper alloys, aluminium, titanium and plastic
materials; more than 200 welding procedures have been qualified. The products are subject to
intermediate and final testing, witnessed by the Customers.

TRANSFORMER OIL AIR COOLERS
During 1931 Boldrocchi tested and manufactured the first
OFAF transformer oil cooler and since 1948 an engineering
department has been exclusively devoted to large electrical
machines cooling:

INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMER
OIL AIR COOLERS

Static electrical machine

Large power transformers
Distribution transformers Reactors
Industrial and furnace transformers
Rotating electrical machine
Motors
Generators
More than seventy years of experience in this specific field
allows Boldrocchi to offer each customer the best solutions
matching all the requirements and to optimize reliability,
performance and costs.

Test facilities are equipped to check the thermal efficiency of

the coolers by using dielectric oil or water and air to
guarantee a reliable know-how and the requested
performances.

A distinctive feature of Boldrocchi lies in its own

expertise to design and to manufacture all the
main components of a cooler: the finned tubes,
the heat exchanger, the fan, the circulating
pump and the electrical devices.

OIL WATER COOLERS
The transformer oil is warmed by the heat losses of the
windings.
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.

For both the above executions (single & double tubes)

and depending on the cooling water the following
materials are used ( 1 standard).

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.

A.C./D.C.
MOTOR COOLERS
More than 26.000 heavy duty electric motors are
cooled with Boldrocchi equipment. Particular attention
is paid to meet different requirements connected with cooling:
dimensions, interface, pressure drop, materials, vibrations,
noise, consumption, reliability and maintenance.
Innumerable
configurations
have
been
designed.
C.A.D./C.A.M. solutions have been adopted to reduce
delivery time, even for special solutions.
The production range includes:
Cooling groups for D.C. motors
These units, directly coupled to the motor, are
usually composed of a steel hood containing
the water/air heat exchanger, an air filter
and a fan. All the components are easily
removable from the casing for inspections
and maintenance;
Air-Air cooling groups
These units are composed of two separated
circuits with two fans and an exchanger,
where the closed circuit air is cooled by the
external air.
Air-Water cooling groups for A.C.
motors
These units are equipped with one or more
air/water exchangers, fan and noise insulating
systems.

GENERATOR
COOLERS

The production range for generator coolers includes:

Air-Water coolers available in several designs and with
different materials: copper alloys, stainless steel and titanium.
Coolers for hydrogen in closed circuits. These units are
particularly sturdy, have considerable dimensions and are
designed to operate in presence of high vibrations.
Circular coil heat-exchangers to cool the bearing lubricating
oil of large generators and turbines.
Medium head axial fans for cooling air circulation.
The construction and the impeller are designed to operate with
high rotating speed, up to 3.000 rpm and discontinuously. Strict
acceptance tests are carried out in excess of the over speed
test at 75 Hz.

The water-air coolers are supplied both as coil

type and with finned tubes.
Several tube materials are available: copper,
copper alloys, stainless steels and titanium.
For heavy-duty applications, such as offshore
platforms, a double tube design is suggested,
with titanium internal tube.
