Air cooled heat exchangers are commonly used in industrial applications where a reliable source of water is not available as a cooling medium. Even if water is available, in some cases, air cooled exchangers are favored for economic or operational reasons – because dedicated cooling water circuits, pumps, water cooling systems and water...

 Ground space often less than or equal to cooling towers; can also serve dual purpose by mounting air-cooled units above other equipment or on pipe ways or roofs of buildings. Vibration is no problem.

The unit is completely contained in an enclosure equipped with adjustable louvers to control both exhaust and intake air rates. The manual louvers are adjusted seasonally while the automatic louvers are adjusted continuously via pneumatic mechanisms directed by a temperature controller that maintains the temperature of the air entering the tube...

Air-cooled heat exchangers are designed to operate over a wide range of environmental conditions, including ambient temperatures from −600F to 1300F. Special design features are employed for operation in cold climates in order to prevent freezing of the process fluid. If the wall temperature of a tube carrying a hydrocarbon stream reaches the...
