The Jumbotron: A Cooling Marvel
Since its introduction in 2009 by GHT (Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.), the Jumbotron has made waves in the industry. These cooling systems have successfully operated across diverse climates, from the Canadian Arctic to the sweltering heat of Texas. Over time, the Jumbotron has undergone five significant redesigns to enhance product quality and longevity.
Here are some key features of the Jumbotron:
- Efficient Mounting: The coolers are individually mounted outside a steel frame using four to eight bolts and isolator mounts. This design facilitates routine maintenance and repairs, improving operational efficiency.
- Reduced Cleaning Time: The Jumbotron significantly reduces annual cleaning efforts, saving operators over 106 hours annually.
- Impressive Airflow: Despite its slim wall thickness (only 6 inches), the Jumbotron can pull an impressive 25,000 CFM (100,000 CFM total) through each of its four sides. In comparison, traditional horizontal radiators often require up to 30 inches of thickness to achieve similar airflow.
- Innovative Core Design: The Jumbotron’s core design minimizes airflow resistance, leading to less core plugging in the field.

Cooler Options for the Right Fit
High-Pressure Coolers: A Breakthrough
GHT is the first aluminum cooler manufacturer to offer standard operating pressures of up to 750 psi. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, advanced materials, and precise processes, we provide standard and custom-built coolers capable of handling the most demanding applications. Our coolers boast burst pressures that exceed 2200 psi, ensuring robust performance in extreme conditions.
Fin & Tube Designs for Every Need
GHT’s commitment to innovation extends to our fin profiles and tube designs. Whether you require a compact heat exchanger or a cooler designed for dirty applications, we’ve got you covered. Our in-house CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software positions us at the forefront of developing new fin technology in the industry.
Versatile Motor Options
At GHT, we understand that diverse applications demand flexibility. That’s why we offer a range of motor options for our standard and custom-built coolers. Whether you need electric motors (12/24V DC or AC), hydraulic, or pneumatic motors, we’ve got solutions tailored to your specific needs.
All-in-One Cooling System Design
Our innovative cooling system takes efficiency to new heights. We achieve a space-efficient design by integrating various coolers into a single package within a radiator. The key advantage? You’ll only need a centralized power source, streamlining installation and reducing overall equipment weight, which translates to long-term fuel cost savings for your operation.
Available Coolers:
- Transmission Cooler
- Hydraulic Cooler
- Brake Oil Cooler
- Compressor Oil Cooler
- Lube Oil Cooler
- Charged Air Cooler
Cooler Configurations: Versatility at Its Best
At GHT, we understand that cooling needs vary; one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer a range of cooling system designs to cater to diverse requirements. Here are the options we provide:
Front-Back Designs: In this configuration, each cooler mounts behind the other one. The front cooler receives the coldest air first. It’s an efficient arrangement for specific applications.
Stacked Designs: Here, one cooler is stacked on top of another. The coldest air benefits both coolers, maximizing cooling efficiency.
Side-by-Side Designs: Coolers are positioned side by side and receive the coldest air simultaneously. It’s a straightforward yet effective setup.
Retro-Fit: We specialize in adapting existing designs to original specifications. If you have a specific cooler in mind, we can build it for you.
Combinations of all Four: Depending on cooling requirements and special requests, we may incorporate a mix of the above designs. Flexibility is key!
Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) and Dual Fuel Compatibility
In today’s market, cost reduction and emissions compliance are critical. Enter DGB/Dual-Fuel technology, which allows operators to cut fuel costs significantly. However, not all cooling systems can meet this new operational standard.
At GHT, we’ve got you covered. Our radiators and cooling systems ensure optimal performance, even in ambient temperatures of up to 131ºF. Whether you’re blending gases or running dual fuel, trust GHT to deliver.
