Jumbotron Product Overview
Introduced in 2009 by GHT, a division of Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., the Jumbotron is an all-in-one cooling system engineered for demanding oilfield and industrial applications. These systems have operated successfully in environments ranging from the Canadian Arctic to the extreme heat of Texas.
Over the years, the Jumbotron has undergone five major redesigns to improve product quality and service life. Its innovative design integrates multiple cooling functions into a single package, reducing installation complexity, lowering equipment weight, and improving overall operating efficiency.
Key Features and Benefits
- Efficient Mounting Design: Coolers are individually mounted outside a steel frame using four to eight bolts and isolator mounts, simplifying routine maintenance and repairs.
- Reduced Cleaning Time: The design reduces annual cleaning requirements, saving operators more than 106 hours.
- High Airflow Performance: With only 6 inches of wall thickness, each side can pull approximately 25,000 CFM for a total of 100,000 CFM total.
- Innovative Core Design: Minimizes airflow resistance and reduces core plugging in field operations.
- Weight and Fuel Savings: Integrating multiple coolers into a single package reduces overall equipment weight and contributes to long-term fuel savings.

- Quick delivery
- Easy repairability
- Cost-effective
GHT offers both standard and custom-built high-pressure coolers designed for demanding applications.
High-Pressure Coolers
GHT is the first aluminum cooler manufacturer to offer standard operating pressures of up to 750 psi. These coolers are designed with burst pressures exceeding 2200 psi.
Fin and Tube Designs
Using in-house CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis), GHT develops fin profiles and tube designs for compact heat exchangers and dirty applications.
Available Motor Options
- 12/24V DC electric motors
- AC electric motors
- Hydraulic
- Pneumatic motors
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
Front-Back Designs: Each cooler is mounted behind another, allowing the front cooler to receive the coldest air first.
Stacked Designs: One cooler is mounted on top of another to maximize cooling efficiency.
Side-by-Side Designs: Coolers are positioned next to each other and receive cold air simultaneously.
Retro-Fit: Existing designs can be adapted to original specifications.
Combination Designs: Configurations can combine front-back, stacked, side-by-side, and retrofit arrangements to meet specific requirements.
Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) and Dual Fuel Compatibility
GHT radiators and cooling systems are designed to support Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) and Dual Fuel operations.
These systems can maintain performance at ambient temperatures up to 131°F and are engineered to meet the cooling demands of dual-fuel applications.
