Typically Carolina Heat Pipe incorporates their patented heat exchangers into new or existing equipment manufactured by others. Rather than manufacture an existing product and compete with established equipment manufacturers, Carolina Heat Pipe has elected to enhance the performance of established air conditioning equipment manufactured by others. Many times this equipment can be modified by Carolina Heat Pipe enroute to a job site. Often times a modular unit can be furnished with instructions for field installation.
