Carbon Capture Cooling Solutions
Carbon capture systems demand precise, reliable thermal management to operate efficiently and safely. Hayden supports the technologies that enable a lower-carbon future by designing air-cooled heat exchangers for post-combustion capture, direct air capture, and CO₂ compression and storage.

Precise thermal control drives effective carbon capture
Amine-based solvents absorb CO₂ more efficiently at lower temperatures and release it at higher temperatures. This heating and cooling cycle places unique demands on thermal equipment, requiring systems that can handle high pressures, elevated temperatures and continuous duty.
Post-combustion carbon capture
Integrate Hayden’s cooling systems with your coal or gas plant to support efficient post-combustion CO₂ capture. By controlling solvent temperatures upstream and downstream of the absorber and stripper, our equipment reduces energy intensity and improves carbon capture rates.
Direct air carbon capture
Direct air capture systems require stable, efficient thermal control to remove widely distributed CO₂ from the atmosphere. Hayden’s air-cooled heat exchangers support solvent and process cooling in open-air or remote installations, enabling negative carbon emissions and carbon credit compliance.
Carbon storage and compression
Compress, dehydrate and inject captured CO2 for storage. Hayden’s inter- and aftercoolers are engineered to withstand pressures up to 2,000 PSI and manage supercritical fluids, providing safe, reliable temperature control throughout the compression train.
