PRECISION LASER TECHNOLOGY

Laser-welded dimple pads are created by fusing two stainless steel sheets using laser technology. This process forms a network of engineered dimples that ensure optimal heat transfer across the surface of the tank or vessel.

Why choose DTS dimple pads?

Superior Pressure Handling:

Laser welded dimple pads offer higher pressure ratings which allow designers the ability to engineer pressure drop to drive the system for the greatest energy savings.

Maximum Thermal Efficiency:

Internal volume is significantly reduced which leads to increased thermal efficiency and an impressive cost reduction of cooling fluid required over traditional designs. 

Engineered for Turbulent Flow:

The geometry of each dimple promotes turbulent flow, pushing fluid evenly through the entire system. This maximises heat transfer while maintaining a slimline design that accommodates full-thickness insulation.

Improved Thermal Control:

With heating and cooling capabilities of up to (or exceeding) 5kW/m², our dimple pads provide precise temperature control—ideal for applications where consistency and reliability are critical. 

Cost Savings:

Our fully automated flatbed laser welder delivers faster lead times, reduced labour costs, and consistently high weld quality—giving you a competitive edge in both performance and price.
