Chart Parts since 2002: spares for Chart and other makes. Chart Ferox (Děčín, Czechia): parts for discontinued models. Gothenburg Cryogenic Service Center: trailers, containers, tanks, pumps; authorized Herose and SEFCO AG partner. Howden Aftermarket: repairs, modernization, retrofits; rental in Europe to 10 years.
What to clarify: product, component, scope of work, downtime
Start with the purpose: storage of liquid gas, vaporization, transport and fueling, MicroBulk supply, heat exchange, air cooling, compression or expansion. Then the parameters: medium and its purity, volume or flow rate, working pressure, temperature, material requirements. For oxygen these are degreasing and oxygen service, for hydrogen dedicated versions. For transport state the mode of carriage and batch volume, for heat exchangers the heat duty and installation location.
Chart factory spare parts come via two channels: the ChartParts.com portal since 2002 (EU.ChartParts.com in Europe) and the group's service centers. Chart Ferox holds parts for the whole range, including discontinued models, and, as the manufacturer states, ships stock the same day. The Gothenburg Cryogenic Service Center services semi-trailers, ISO containers, tanks and pumps as an authorized service partner of Herose and an official service partner of SEFCO AG. Howden Aftermarket performs overhauls and modernizations, including historical compressor and fan brands. Also: OneChart, Howden Uptime, Chart University training and Europe rental up to 10 years. Not published: part numbers, prices, lead times, stock availability.
Describe what is required: selection of equipment for the task, replacement of a component, repair, modernization or spare parts for a machine in operation. Add the medium, volume or capacity, pressure and temperature, installation location and delivery city, and for a repair — the product and component designation.
