CoolMAX Series Sample Cooler
When sampling diverse process fluids like LCO, multi-phase slurries, diesel, or pharmaceutical water for injection (WFI), maintaining a highly uniform temperature without clogging is paramount. The Forbes Marshall CoolMax series takes on this “job” through a highly engineered coil-in-coil heat exchanger design. By running a single continuous inner tube inside an outer cooling tube, this cooler creates high fluid turbulence that eliminates dead spots and ensures the system remains self-cleaning.
This translates into exceptionally high heat transfer rates and a remarkably close approach temperature of up to 2°C with minimal cooling water required. Whether you need an electro-polished model for clean steam in a pharmaceutical facility or a rugged Inconel unit for high-duty petrochemical applications, the CoolMax preserves your product quality and analytical accuracy.
Industrial Applications of CoolMax series Sample Cooler
- Petrochemical & Refinery: Sampling diesel, LCO, ULSD, alcohol, and multi-phase slurries
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Cooling clean steam and Water for Injection (WFI)
- Single Continuous Tube Construction: Completely avoids internal joints and leaks, guaranteeing zero cross-contamination between the sample and cooling water
- High-Turbulence Flow Dynamics: Prevents the formation of dead spots and deposit buildup, creating a self-cleaning effect ideal for multiphase slurries
- Close Approach Temperature (up to 2°C): Maximizes heat exchange efficiency, significantly reducing your facility’s cooling water consumption requirements
- Sanitary & Electro-Polished Options: Meets ASME BPE 2007 norms with Ra < 0.6 micrometers, making it completely safe for pharmaceutical clean steam and WFI

SHx Series Special Sample CoolerFrequently Asked Questions
The coil-in-coil design of the CoolMax generates enhanced turbulence, making it highly resistant to deposit buildup and ideal for “dirty” process fluids like slurries or LCO, while fully eliminating dead spot formations.
Yes, the CoolMax Sanitary model is manufactured as per ASME BPE 2007 standards, features approved sanitary tri-clamps, TIG welding, and an electro-polished surface finish (Ra < 0.6 micrometer) suitable for WFI and clean steam.
No. The CoolMax utilizes a single continuous inner tube specifically to avoid joints and leaks, offering high resistance to thermal and hydraulic shocks.
Thanks to an increased overall heat transfer coefficient and maximum counter-current flow, it achieves a very close approach temperature of up to 2°C.
No. The highly efficient heat transfer design minimizes cooling water requirements while remaining highly effective for low flow rates at high pressures and temperatures.
